Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

DHS posts explicitly Christian nationalist and violent video about how ICE/CBP is delivering the Lord's justice

As a data scientist, I can say that statistically you have at least an even chance of making it through the night.

Then they came for the children: ICE agents attempted to question a group of middle and high school-aged U.S. citizens about their immigration status.
