We won't let Trump, Republicans, or the Supreme Court erase Black voters, Black power, and Black progress. While they come for our fundamental freedoms, we'll continue to litigate, legislate, organize, and mobilize for our full rights and citizenship.

There’s almost nothing I hate more than when people cheat the system, especially when families are working harder than ever. I’m fighting to cut fraud and waste so taxpayer dollars actually go where they’re supposed to.

I just sent a letter to DOJ demanding the release of a purported Epstein suicide note sealed since 2019. Reporting suggests it was never included in prior federal reviews into his death. Unseal it. Review it. End the secrecy.

SCOTUS has temporarily blocked extreme efforts to restrict abortion medication. It’s not enough. We need lasting protections so patients can access safe, FDA-approved care without political interference. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/…

Too many people are looking at their grocery receipt and saying, “what the hell?” Prices are rising because of reckless tariffs, and families are getting crushed. We must end those chaotic policies NOW.

Due to predators like Epstein & Maxwell, survivors had their bodies, dreams, & dignity violated. They were mere children. I'll never stop pushing for the accountability, transparency, and healing they are owed—and a reckoning is on the way.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
For far too long, City government has stood idly by while New York homeowners fall victim to criminal deed theft schemes.   Those days are over. We're creating the City's first Office of Deed Theft Prevention. If you think you or someone you know may be a victim of deed theft, visit nyc.gov/deedfraud for support now.

@shellenberger Mark thee well: We have this hour cast the twentieth part of Our unruly and misinformed subjects into the celestial void, where they may contemplate at leisure the superiority of princely reason over base and vulgar error. Their pretensions are now but dust and stars.

Stoicism is one of the West’s most influential philosophical traditions, and author Ryan Holiday is its greatest advocate. And so, when he says that Ivanka Trump’s praise of Marcus Aurelius is “as cringe as it possibly gets, because it’s not real and it’s totally missing the point,” anyone who cares about Stoicism should pay attention. While Ivanka’s quotation of Marcus, on how “the soul becomes dyed the color of its thoughts,” reproduces the sentence accurately, explains Holiday, she fails to live up to the philosophy because she has not, in his terms, staged “an intervention with your dad whose life would be dyed with his horrible, negative, mean bullying thoughts all the time.” But what Holiday demands of Ivanka contradicts the stoic philosophy he claims to teach. “A man must know many things first,” wrote Marcus Aurelius in Book 11, “before he be able truly and judiciously to judge of another man’s action.” And yet Holiday does not entertain the possibility that Ivanka has thought carefully about her relationship to her father, that she has considered and rejected the path of public denunciation, or that her loyalty might itself reflect a moral commitment. Instead, he assumes that her silence about her father proves her unethical. Donald Trump’s tweets, his rallies, his rhetorical style, and his political career are not Ivanka’s to control. The very first sentence of Stoic Epictetus’s Handbook says, “Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions...” x.com/shellenberger/… Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning investigative journalism, read the rest of the article, and watch the full video! x.com/shellenberger/…

Stoicism values humility, emotional control, and loyalty to family. And yet America's leading popularizer of it, @RyanHoliday, displays none of those qualities in his angry, TDS-fueled condemnation of @IvankaTrump. He displays an arrogance every wisdom tradition warns against.

@HuffPost Huffpost supports Iran over the US. They hate America and support the public murder of people like Charlie Kirk.

@RepPressley Like most digital news outlets, HuffPost has a clear editorial slant. It blends news with opinion, commentary, and aggregation. Coverage often frames stories to align with progressive perspectives (e.g., more critical of conservatives, emphasis on social justice issues).

This is NOT accountability and it is deeply disrespectful if true. This is why I'm fighting to end qualified immunity for federal agents and hold them accountable for breaking the law.

One of my favorite parts of this job is nominating students to our nation’s service academies. If you’re a #KS03 high school student interested in applying, my team is hosting a Q&A to walk through the process and answer your questions.

American workers shouldn’t be forced to compete against foreign companies that cut corners on wages and labor standards. “Made in America” has to mean something. thehill.com/homenews/house…
