David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Average household heating costs are up 9.2% from last year, on top of rising electricity costs.

Meanwhile, Trump gutted a program that helps low-income people heat their homes and is boosting construction of power-hungry AI data centers.

What happened to lowering prices on Day One?

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

A world in which this regime can kill anyone it chooses with no legal justification of any kind is a world in which none of us are safe.

Tell your Members of Congress to demand investigations into Pete Hegseth’s murderous strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Over the last few months, the Trump regime has orchestrated the bombings of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that it claims are trafficking drugs bound for the US. They’ve provided no legal ju...

Firing over 100 immigration judges.

Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

Pausing asylum decisions.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

This isn’t about Trump.

He is a walking moral cesspool; a lumbering, empty, loveless husk of a human being, but he has never been anything else....

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

When Tim Cook brought the hunk of gold to the oval office I was saying this. Where are these public boards when their CEO's are offering bribes openly to a pedo, abuser, and best friend of the sex trafficker of the century? Can't imagine they voted for something as ghastly as a golden ballroom
Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.
