Vote! May I suggest a Yes on 50. The redistricting is to counter what Texas did, and will revert to independently drawn districts in 2030

I introduced the SUN Act because if Donald Trump wants to spend billions in federal dollars to override the judgment of local police, then the American people should know more about the impact, cost, and rationale of those decisions.

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case.
He wrote that the government itself is the “logical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a “diversion” tactic.

DOJ goes 0-3 in requests to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials
Two other federal judges already denied DOJ’s requests to publicly release the material.

Let's be clear. Any YES vote on HR 1 right now is an uninformed partisan vote on a bill *no one* actually likes, with unknown terms and effects, for the simple purpose of giving an authoritarian leader a symbolic bill signing on July 4th.
Right now, no one knows:
-how large the Medicaid cuts are
-how many people will lose health insurance
-how large the tax cuts are
-who wins/loses by how much
-how much it adds to the deficit
Rs are going at lightning speed BECAUSE they want to pass the “big beautiful bill” before anyone knows

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?
The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

The world will find out soon. I am betting that it’s the Italian, but I’m hoping for one from a far less developed country.
