Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Vermont Senator Peter Welch asks why the attorney general of the United States has zero apparent interest in figuring out what happened to the $50,000 undercover FBI agents gave border czar Tom Homan.

She... doesn't take it well.

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.
