A big victory for the University of California.

And a call to every university across the U.S. to refuse to sacrifice academic freedom to Donald Trump.

Our democracy requires your uncensored voices. And the law is on your side.

Ghost guns are untraceable weapons that people order online and assemble at home. They are often the guns of choice for criminals.

Glad the Supreme Court upheld this common-sense rule that will help keep our communities safe.

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.

Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.

The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

Senate Republicans are trying to overturn a rule that stops big banks from charging outrageous overdraft fees that boost their profits while hurting working Americans.

I'm live on the Senate floor to oppose this and their assault on the CFPB:

Statement from Senator Elizabeth Warren:

“Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.”
Russell Vought, Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has sent an email to staff telling them to stop working.

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way."

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.
