This sends a chilling message to media companies: content that angers those in power could put their licenses at risk. Our constitution protects freedom of speech. The government shouldn’t punish broadcasters for speech they don't like. Congress can hold the administration to account. It should act.

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said the agency can accelerate license reviews if it has “significant concerns” about whether a broadcaster serves the public interest. ABC’s licenses weren’t due for renewal until at least 2028.

The Trump administration has ordered ABC to seek to renew licenses early for 8 stations – years ahead of schedule – after Melania Trump criticized the network over a Jimmy Kimmel joke. The president called for Kimmel to be fired. npr.org/2026/04/28/nx-…

This is our system. Pay attention. Speak up. Demand that Congress do its job, investigate the DOJ's efforts to wipe the slate on January 6, and protect fairness – because it won’t happen without pressure from us.

If years of investigations, jury verdicts, and court rulings can be undone to help the president’s allies, that sends the message that they’re above the law. It tells them they can get away with anything if it serves the president. And that puts all of us in danger.

The Trump administration-controlled Justice Department is seeking to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions for members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers involved in planning the violent Jan. 6 2021 riot in the Capitol. npr.org/2026/04/15/nx-…

Concerns go beyond profits. Lawmakers warn these platforms could exploit national security information or be tracked by foreign intelligence. Congress needs to investigate, set real rules, and shut this down. No one should be cashing in on decisions that affect our lives, especially not war.

These accounts had no other activity, and their only trades were tied to that single event. Other trades show a pattern. One account made about $550,000 betting that the U.S. would strike Iran and that Iran’s leader would be removed from power before the war began.

People are placing bets on war and walking away with millions. Lawmakers are calling for investigations into Polymarket after at least 50 new accounts placed large bets on a U.S.-Iran ceasefire shortly before it was announced by President Trump. npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-…

23,000 cases dropped. Entire categories of crime are deprioritized. A system redirected. You deserve a justice system that enforces the law fairly – not selectively. Tell Congress to step in, demand accountability, and make sure justice works for us all.

While shifting focus, the DOJ declined over 900 federal fraud cases, more than 1,000 terrorism cases, and thousands of drug cases. Prosecutors and former officials warned the department was retreating from its mission to uphold fairness and protect communities.

The Justice Department quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal investigations in the first six months of Trump’s administration, abandoning cases involving corruption, white-collar crime, domestic terrorism, and more as it shifted resources toward immigration enforcement. propublica.org/article/trump-…

Appreciate @lisamurkowski taking a principled stand on Trump's threat to commit genocide. We need more members of Congress to show courage in the face of out-of-control lawlessness.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski@lisamurkowski

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran. This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home. The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.

Members of Congress who have failed to act own whatever Trump does tonight. Congress can refuse to authorize wars. It can refuse to fund wars. It can impeach presidents and cabinet members who pursue illegal wars and order war crimes or genocide. Act or own it. @representus
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@RepSaraJacobs

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
