Rep. Mike Thompson: "I've searched hard to find constituents in my district who believe this economy is golden…Electricity bills are up 8.5%. Is that golden?" Bessent: *refuses to answer* Thompson: "Health insurance costs are up 26% — that's not golden. Childcare costs are up 9% — that's not golden. Gas prices are up nearly 50% — that's not golden. Grocery prices are still straining family budgets — that's not golden."

Accountability for fraud must also include restorative justice to make the lives of victims whole again. But Trump used his clemency power on Lawrence Duran and wiped away $87 million in restitution for victims of healthcare fraud. We should be having a hearing about that.

It is rich that MAGA Republicans are standing in front of the American people, pretending to be guardians of judicial integrity. For decades, these same Republicans have spent billions building the Supreme Court that they paid for. America deserves a Supreme Court that can’t be bought.

Donald Trump knows that Republicans are losing in November, so he is using the next six months to do everything he possibly can to line his pockets and take care of himself and his cronies. Trump can think he and his family are above the law, but when we take back the House, I will not stop until he is held accountable.

The House just voted to rein in this reckless Iran war. Democrats just forced a vote after Republicans blocked it for months. Americans have had enough with Trump’s military adventurism overseas.

I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.” It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home. Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what the insurrectionist Donald Trump did on January 6. Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power. THIS is what an insurrection looks like. Never forget. 👇👇👇

Today @SecMullinDHS yet again tried to defend ICE’s lawless deportation dragnet by asserting that they are going after the “worst of the worst.” Nobody is fooled by this flat-out lie. In fact, ICE has been violating their own policy for a year by arresting people at immigration court. But Secretary Mullin didn’t even know that. DHS does not get to make up their own laws and it’s time Sec. Mullin learns what they are and follows them.

BREAKING: Justice Sotomayor BLASTS Trump’s justices in a scathing dissent over yet another rubber-stamping of Republican racist election-stealing shenanigans! She didn’t hold back… The right-wing conservatives on the Supreme Court just voted to allow Alabama to use a 2023 map which was so obviously racist that a three-judge panel of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump appointees again found that the map was unconstitutional. But nothing except Republican power matters to Trump’s justices on SCOTUS, who voted 6-3 to allow Alabama to use the racist map anyway. Justice Sotomayor eviscerated her fellow justices in her dissent, writing that they “disregard both democratic values and the rule of law.” “In addition to being wrong on the merits, the Court’s decision inflicts two grave harms on the public. It debases the democratic process by upending Alabama’s entire election in the name of permitting Alabama to discriminate against Black Alabamians.” “It also corrodes the rule of law by rewarding Alabama’s gamesmanship and outright defiance of court orders.” “It is long established that ‘he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.’ Alabama’s hands, however, are far from clean. Instead, it defied the District Court’s order in these cases even after this Court affirmed it, and took utterly irreconcilable positions at different stages in these cases to suit its own purposes.” “Now the Court is squarely faced with a record of the turmoil it has caused and the harm it has wrought. Yet just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos. Because I choose to defend the rule of law and the right of all Alabamians to participate equally in democracy, I respectfully dissent.” It is absolutely abhorrent the way that Trump’s justices have allowed state Republicans to play legislative Calvinball with the law and the rules, arguing one thing one day and against that very same thing the next when it suits them. No precedent matters, no good faith interpretation of the law, nothing matters except the exercise of power and advancing the MAGA agenda. Once we retake power, impeaching Trump’s justices and reforming our courts has to be a top priority – because if we don’t, they will pack the courts even more and entrench one-party rule forever. Like and share to spread her powerful words to EVERY American!

🚨 THE LIE IS EXPOSED. Republicans are pushing laws across the country to require proof of citizenship to vote, claiming it's to stop "massive noncitizen voting." But US District Judge Samantha Elliott just looked at 26 years of actual data and slaughtered that narrative in a major 98-page ruling. The actual facts? Noncitizen voting is "essentially nonexistent." Out of 8.3 million ballots, they found exactly eight cases by noncitizens in 26 years. The law wasn't about integrity; it was a voter suppression scheme designed to purge legitimate voters right before the midterms. This ruling changes everything. Hit the ❤️ LIKE and SHARE buttons to stop the voter suppression machine! Click the link to see how a courageous judge just saved your right to vote: 👇 dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-kills-…

Secretary Bessent won't admit that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks at the same time he makes decisions affecting those stocks. He knows better.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ju…

How did Donald Trump give himself, his family, and their businesses a Super Pardon for all their crimes, back taxes, fines, and other payments due to the federal government? Meet Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer now assigned to the Department of Justice, who gave his boss and former client, Donald Trump, a family-sized stack of get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Republicans just rejected our measure to permanently block Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionist cop-beaters. It’s horrifying. Every single Republican is now on record protecting this egregious corruption scheme. We cannot trust Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s personal attorney, when he says the fund is “dead.” We must assert Congressional oversight and rein in this out-of control administration.
