Itโ€™s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Democracy in action, Illinois.

Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trumpโ€™s takeover of our democracy.

I moved from NYC in 2003, in significant part because I couldnโ€™t afford to live there anymore. Z can help change that for the current generation!

Analysis: Hereโ€™s how Trumpโ€™s megabill will affect you | CNN Politics Seniors, students, taxpayers, children, parents, low-income Americans and just about everyone else will be affected by the massive tax and spending bill being hashed out in real time on Capitol Hill.

This bill if passed by the House will shorten the lives of millions of Americans and bring the republic to the point of collapse. Itโ€™s a gift to oligarchs at home and enemies abroad.

How shoddy science is fueling a charge to restrict abortion pill access The FDA has been tasked with re-evaluating the safety of mifepristone after a flawed report claimed it has a high rate of serious complications.

This is how it's done.

A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.

This is how to guard the rule of law.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nationโ€™s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns โ€” but said Kennedy wishes โ€œsubservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.โ€

Trump is 0-3 in cases brought by law firms he has targeted with illegal executive orders.

Yet the cowards at two other law firms -- Paul Weiss and Skadden -- shamefully capitulated without putting up a fight.

Iโ€™m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and itโ€™s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.

This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance arenโ€™t just Putinโ€™s puppets, theyโ€™re his assets.
