It may be repeating the obvious, but Mary Bruce is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally demonstrated why a free and independent media remains essential, asking questions that people in power don't want to answer

The Epstein files aren’t getting spun into a “Democratic hoax.” Nobody’s buying it. Trump is at minus 39 approval on his handling of the files, and even Republicans are split.

The Republican Party is trying to make excuses. They are failing.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

More Than 30,000 Students in One North Carolina School District Skipped Class on Monday amid ICE Raids More than 30,000 students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg County reportedly did not attend school on Monday, Nov. 17. This come

As Trump ramps up his ICE raids in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 30,000 students across the county reportedly did not attend school on Monday.

This isn't about going after the “worst of the worst.”

It was always about cruelty.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Powerful.

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

They’re all just looting the treasury now

This stuff is so crazy. Trump is now just letting his allies that helped him nearly overthrow the government take turns stealing taxpayer money.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.
👏👏👏

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.

Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Kidnapping people off the street is not something law enforcement does in a “free country.”

Trump claims that ICE agents are here to keep our country safe, but all they’ve done is infect our communities with racism, violence, and fear.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:

✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.

Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

the only thing on Trump's schedule today is flying to Florida to spend the weekend at his private club golfing and schmoozing with his paying customers

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

I voted NO tonight—because we have to address the MAGA health care hike.

By refusing to work with Democrats on a solution before open enrollment started, Republicans have already pushed millions of Americans off the health care cliff.
