“I’m not surprised that nobody turned in their colleagues,” a retired EPA worker said. His former co-workers understood the importance of addressing pollution that disproportionately impacted communities of color, he added. “That’s part of the mission — it has been for decades."

My amendment is simple: if this bill causes Americans to die from losing health care, it can't take effect. If my Republican colleagues truly believed their cuts wouldn’t hurt people, they should’ve had no problem voting to protect people. Spoiler alert: None of them voted for it.

Imagine having to choose between feeding your family and keeping a roof over your head. That will be the reality for tens of millions of Americans because House Republicans want to cut $313 billion in food assistance. All so they can fund more tax giveaways to the GOP's donors.

Another win for the rule of law. We're grateful that Badar is free and for the federal judges who are standing up to Trump’s assault on due process. Mahmoud Khalil and the other students and researchers who have been targeted by ICE for exercising their First Amendment rights must also be freed.

Trump calls the Qatar Royal Family’s luxury jet a “free gift”—but experts warn American taxpayers will be forced to pay over $1 billion to convert Qatar’s “Palace in the Sky” into a secure Air Force One. This isn’t a deal. It's a disaster. www.defensenews.com/air/2025/05/...

House Republicans’ tax bill would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process. No president should have the power this bill provides to punish their political opponents.

It’s time for us to take action. I call on my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to support my Articles of Impeachment, stand up for this country, defend their oath, and protect the American people. It’s never the wrong time to stand up for our Constitution.

ICE agents should not be permitted to wear masks. They should have their names and identification numbers clearly displayed to all. Democracy and protecting our rights depends upon public accountability. Masked agents of the state abusing and disappearing people is not exactly friendly to that.🖕🏻them

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Richard Grenell should be ashamed of himself, dragging the reputation of The Kennedy Center through the partisan mud of a dictator’s coup to legislate art, while unloading on artists who object to these sweeping autocratic gestures.
