For more than 104 years, Viola Fletcher lived without ever receiving justice for the crimes committed against her and her community during the Tulsa Race Massacre.
May the shame of that failure forever stain our nation.
And may Mrs. Fletcher rest in eternal power and paradise.

For four decades in elected office, my dear friend Congresswoman @velazquez.house.gov exemplified what it means to be a public servant. Our city and nation owe so very much to her – as do I.
The administration’s rush toward war with Venezuela is reckless and unlawful.
I won’t stand by while we’re marched into another disastrous intervention. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and stop this escalation.

The ONLY reason Speaker Johnson is defending death threats from the President of the United States is because he’s terrified of ending up on the wrong side of them.
Sooner or later, Donald Trump will come for us all, Mike.

It’s painfully clear that Trump resurrected the failed AI moratorium as a gift to his billionaire donors whose profits depend on their unfinished technology remaining unregulated.
Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

Once again, Trump is threatening to have his FCC attack dog collectively punish an entire network because one of its reporters asked him a tough question.
The Epstein Coverup clearly matters far more to him than the 1st Amendment ever could.
And it's not hard to figure out why.

Reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that.

Starting today, 40 American airports are reducing their traffic due to the Republican Shutdown.
That means longer lines, delays, and cancellations across the country, including at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and other airports that countless New Yorkers travel through every single day.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s impact leaving Jamaican infrastructure in ruins, communities reeling, and tens of thousands displaced, it would be unsafe and inhumane to expel Jamaican nationals from the US back to their home while recovery efforts are still ongoing.

How is this administration "complying with the court's order" to continue funding SNAP when Donald Trump himself says no one gets their payments until he gets what he wants?
42 million Americans deserve a straight answer on whether or not their president plans to illegally starve them.

Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order?

In just over a day, 42 million Americans will lose their SNAP benefits. That won’t be due to the shutdown, or any made-up law.
No, millions are going to go hungry only because Trump and his GOP lackeys want them to. Because they believe that every starving child gives them more political leverage.
