They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.

This Christmas Eve, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

We are on the brink of a completely preventable national health care crisis. Washington Republicans packed up and left town, guaranteeing that millions of Americans will lose their health care and millions more will see their costs explode.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Donald Trump and the MAGA Congress are hiking health care prices. Our budget provides subsidies to help lower the cost of Obamacare health plans for eligible Washingtonians.

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way.

I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

Donald Trump is good at one thing: making everything more expensive.

And while energy prices climb, he’s ripped away critical funding that helps low-income families heat their homes.

The Trump agenda: tax breaks for billionaires, higher costs and painful cuts for working families.

Visible from nearby streets to miles beyond, excerpts from President Obama’s remarks during the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, started going up at sunrise today on the exterior of the Museum at the Obama Presidential Center. They are a reminder: “You Are America.”

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year.

The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session.

This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

“He raped me.”

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

I just announced my proposed budget. It's balanced. It doesn't raise taxes. It removes tax breaks for corporations. It preserves reproductive health care access. It maintains core services.

And even as the federal government goes backward on affordability, we're moving forward.

Today is a big win for Illinois and American democracy.

I am glad the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump did not have the authority to deploy the federalized guard in Illinois.
