A reminder that debating Stephen Miller — who is not a lawyer and is not making legal arguments, he is spouting propaganda — is a win for him.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Trump’s revenge tour at the DOJ is deeply wrong and profoundly dangerous. Americans need to know that federal law enforcement is not partisan and weaponized—which is precisely what Trump is seeking to do with it, despite his false claims to the contrary www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/u...

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers. As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.

Rachel Maddow looks at how the DOJ has abandoned the rule of law, and instead allowed itself to be used to exact revenge against Donald Trump's political and legal opponents, and to exercise Trump's grievances. How much longer are we going to let this chaos continue?
