Just a reminder that 99% of the Epstein files are still being held up by the DOJ in direct violation of the law.
That’s not a delay, it’s a cover-up. Release all the files.

This is a powerful piece. Trump gutting the federal workforce isn't about firing public sector workers – it's about weakening the invisible systems that keep our nation running.

The Purged
Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

I joined @heathercoxrichardson on Friday to talk about the path forward for my party, and how we need a commonsense immigration policy that embodies this truth: immigrants make all of us – including Americans – stronger and more prosperous.

So Trump can find the money to pay every citizen of Greenland $100K, but won’t do anything to keep Americans’ health care premiums from doubling?

One of the most corrupt presidents in history says his use of military force is only constrained by his “morality.” That should alarm every American.

15 years ago today, my friend Gabby was shot in a horrific act of political violence that killed six people. I applaud Gabby and Mark for their resilience and leadership in gun violence prevention advocacy.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.
I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

President Trump has a fifth of the US Navy stationed off the coast of Venezuela. That doesn’t sound like someone planning on keeping his promise of no new foreign wars.

The Gulf of America doesn’t exist. Neither does the Department of War or the Trump-Kennedy Center. Trump is mocking American institutions, and rest assured, these changes will survive no longer than his administration.

Five years ago, President Trump launched an angry mob at the Capitol. He and his allies led a desperate attempt to overthrow the presidential election, tried to hang his own vice president, and assaulted law enforcement, leading to the deaths of five officers.

A question for President Trump: what’s the goal in Venezuela? And what are you asking American servicemembers to sacrifice to make it happen?

As we head into the new year, many Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket tomorrow. That’s because ACA tax subsidies expire at midnight tonight. I’ll keep fighting for a solution for you and your family.

Trump’s travel ban was wrong when it was issued, and it’s even more wrong now as the administration expands it to cover 20 more countries. An immigration policy built on discrimination is cruel and un-American.
The Trump administration has increased the number of countries whose citizens face a full or partial travel ban on entry to the U.S. from 19 to 39, a significant expansion of the order announced this year.
