Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Oregon AG: "47 has started to attack our independent judiciary. He's attacked free press. Now you've seen the normalization of the US military in American cities. We have to draw a line in the sand.”

We draw that line Saturday 10/18! Show up to say #NoKings for America!

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

We’ve had two vets conduct two mass shootings in a single day. It bothers me. Travis Decker killed his children. It bothers me. People serve to protect their country and when they’re separated from their uniform their country should be making sure their healthcare and mental health needs are met.
