Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

More of this, please.

I live in Las Vegas—tourism dropped 11% last month, a warning for the nation.

Trump knows a recession is coming. That’s why Adriana Kugler resigned and Erika McEntarfer was fired for telling the truth.

No matter what he says or who he blames, this crisis is Trump’s creation.

I was 6 when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was founded in 1967, so my whole conscious life has been enriched by its work.
So many thanks to the good and creative people who worked hard to try and educate and enlighten us all.

Faced w/empirical data he doesn't like, Trump will fire the official who collected it. @ericagroshen.bsky.social once held the job at the center of the latest power-grab. She joins at 12p ET on why the Bureau of Labor Statistics firing is an attack on the integrity of this vital government system.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Once you start looking for the Republican pedophiles, they're kind of hard to miss?

Searching for the Children of the Disappeared A new book examines the extraordinary decades-long campaign by Argentinean women to find their grandchildren.

For decades, a group of Argentinian women led an extraordinary campaign to find their stolen grandchildren.

The DC Bar recommends Jeffrey Clark - an architect of the insurrection - be disbarred.

As a child, I had to recite "with liberty and justice for all" every morning in school.

But I'm "woke" and "unAmerican" because as an adult I believe in liberty and justice for all.

After I was denied entry to an ICE facility in my district, many of you said social media posts weren’t enough. You’re right.

Here’s what’s next.

Just finished copyedits on a review of terrific book by Lori Ginzberg, an exemplar of how family histories will always show us a much more complex past than standard narratives or summaries. I start w the reshaped scholarly and public understanding of race defining families in and beyond slavery.

Today marks 60 years since Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law. These programs have provided health care and security for millions of Americans. Now, they're under threat from Republicans. We must protect and strengthen them for generations to come.
