I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI.

Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer.

If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?

Today is a beautiful day for Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Attorney General Pam Bondi came before the Judiciary Committee today.

But she refused to answer a raft of important questions.

On Tom Homan's bribe.

On Donald Trump's new luxury plane.

On January 6th pardons.

On illegal strikes in the Caribbean.

On Epstein.

The stonewalling was staggering.

Donald Trump says he wants our military to use cities like Los Angeles and Portland as a "training ground." Absolutely not.

This un-American, illegal use of the military to terrorize in our communities must end now.

The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

We have a lawless president in the White House — and California refuses to back down.

According to Trump who owns a government shutdown? The President.

✔️Highest officer numbers since 2019
✔️Vehicle and Tech Replacement

White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal Groups Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Charlie Kirk’s podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, to lay out their plans.

Top Trump officials used Charlie Kirk’s death to threaten liberal groups, making unsubstantiated claims about a “domestic terror” movement.

Missourians Could Block the GOP Gerrymander With a Referendum Vote Read more here.

NEW: For years, Missourians have possessed the constitutional right to a referendum that allows them to veto laws passed by the legislature. Now, they’re laying the groundwork to exercise this right to block the GOP's proposed congressional gerrymander from being enacted.

Missouri Lawsuit Seeks to Stop Governor’s Gerrymander Session Read more here.

Mike Kehoe’s (R) special legislative session, calling his attempt to redraw maps and rewrite the ballot initiative process an unconstitutional power grab that threatens democracy in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Nearly three months ago, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into California — without consulting the governor and despite local law enforcement having things under control.

Now, justice has been served: a federal court ruled the president is not above the law.

Donald Trump's half-baked decision to hijack the California National Guard into his own domestic police force to terrorize people in the LA area was never about public safety.

It was only about dictatorial power and his political propaganda.

Vance derides protesters while visiting National Guard at Union Station | CNN Politics As Vice President JD Vance staged a lunch to thank the National Guard members that President Donald Trump has deployed to Washington, DC, he was frequently drowned out by protesters.

Our democracy has endured nearly 250 years because people chose patriotism over politics.

We must make that choice again and stand up for our democracy.

For Trump, DC is just the beginning. This is a dangerous distraction. He will continue to push past the safeguards of our democracy because his economic policies are failing, public opinion is shifting away from him, and no matter how hard he tries, he will still be all over the Epstein files.

Vladimir Putin has clearly made a calculation, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: Donald Trump, to use the language he once hurled at Volodymyr Zelensky, has no cards, and his fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored. https://theatln.tc/6bX6jcrP

Trump announced he's leading a "movement" to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines. He's setting up to steal the 2026 midterms and probably the 2028 presidential. Either through dismantling our voting system or rigging the maps.

Why? His cruel and reckless actions are deeply unpopular.

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.

Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

If you’re trying to erase history, you’re on the wrong side of it.

What Trump’s doing in DC is the same playbook he used in Los Angeles.

His authoritarian orders are a hit to the foundation of our nation and a slap in the face to democracy as we know it.

Who else saw that coming?
