Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Ocasio-Cortez, Neguse Introduce Legislation to Impose Lifetime Ban on Members of Congress from Lobbying Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Congressman Joe Neguse (CO-02) introduced the Close the Revolving Door Act of 2025, legislation that would impose a lifetim...

The revolving door of public service to lobbying is a major reason why everyday Americans struggle to trust our institutions.

Lobbying by members of Congress should be banned, and I am happy to co-lead @neguse.house.gov's bill to do just that.

Black woman does what Republicans fail to do.

General Eisenhower ordered Nazi death camps to remain standing for a reason.

Hell yeah Columbus!

July 4th in Columbus, Ohio—and the people are bringing the heat.

Under a scorching sun, protestors flood the Statehouse steps to rage against Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, ICE raids, and fascist cruelty.

This is what real patriotism looks like: furious, loud, unafraid.

There’s absolutely NO reason in the world not to do this. If Schumer fails to rise to the occasion, it’s a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership in the Senate.

I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran! I did not spend time away from my family for the bullshit going on in this country!

I took an oath to defend the constitution against enemies foreign and domestic! Right now the enemy is domestic sitting at the White House!

We stand with immigrants!

A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

“‘I just find it fascinating that this student can write an article, a series of articles that are essentially manifestoes, and that’s free speech,’ Ms. Chatman said, referring to Mr. Damsky, ‘but my class can’t be called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.”’” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

So UF Law School is now an incubator for white nationalists? 😡

They gave a bigot an award for saying that the constitution only applies to white people

Does EVERYONE see the problem with racist ass "originalists" yet?

I hate it here. 😡

y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

My argument on John's show was directed at people who tell me democracy is dead and there will never be another election here. I said democracy is endangered, but it'll be difficult to cancel elections because they're decentralized thanks to federalism -- a system Hungary does not have.

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question

What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

Don’t be surprised if RFK Jr. supports this.

Love this!

So CNN going Fox lite was not enough to keep them from getting sold off. There’s gotta be a lesson there somewhere.

“The fundamental civic unit in this nation is neighbor.”

Racists gonna racist.

On Juneteenth and forever…

Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched.

The horrific trauma Los Angeles is experiencing right now is real.

The pure emotion Jess shows in this video is being felt by most of us here.

This is how to deal with a Bully

This is IDAHO, home of the militia. INCREDIBLE.
