Congress should be workingβ€” not waiting at home β€” to end the shutdown.

Health insurance for millions of Americans is on the line. I’m back in D.C. ready for bipartisan negotiations.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Her name is Emily Wilson. I'm old enough to remember when admitting you're a Nazi was probably a career-ending mistake. Now, in 2025, it's merely an admission that you support Trump. πŸ˜³πŸ‘‡

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva announces her election results will be OFFICIALLY certified tomorrow, destroying Mike Johnson’s last excuse to delay her swearing in.

β€œMike Johnson needs to do his job so I can do mine.”

No more lies.
No more delays.
Swear her in!

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first β€” when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Republicans are opposed to the First Amendment. Any questions????

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
