I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

I’ve introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth for violating his oath, endangering U.S. servicemembers, and committing war crimes, including attacks on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Only Congress can declare war; his actions demand immediate removal.

Fight Against No-Speech Zones Please take action!

With the Trump administration targeting, arresting, and even killing people for peaceful protest, the Governor should be defending New Yorkers’ First Amendment right to free speech – not jumping on Trump’s bandwagon in his authoritarian campaign against dissent.⁠

The Routes Behind ICE’s East Coast Detention Expansion A new $100‑million ground transportation contract lays out expanded routes in Baltimore, Boston, Newark, and New York City—and adds Washington, D.C. as a new area of responsibility.

In addition to moving people, the contract requires Paragon to furnish armed escorts and stationary guards, for when detainees are in hospitals, at court hearings, or held in field‑office holding rooms.

Paying hundreds of dollars to TurboTax to file your taxes?

Know this: Trump took $1 million in donations from TurboTax— then killed the IRS’s free tax filing program.

Russ Vought spent today's budget hearing touting the economy under Trump as a huge success.

The millions of Americans who are paying more on everything from utilities, to healthcare, to gas might disagree.

Working families need real solutions to cut costs, not more lies and broken promises.

In which I finally got tired of DOJ passing off "we did XYZ super duper complicated sounding thing that we swear made sense trust us" and had an actual honest to God cyber expert beat them senseless. Legally speaking. @muellershewrote.com

Trump’s Memphis Crime Task Force Arrested Over 800 Immigrants, Records Show. Only 2% of the Arrests Were for Violent Crimes. Businesses closed. Churches emptied. Parents afraid to take kids to school. Advocates say what was supposed to be a crime-fighting effort is keeping a community in fear.

NEW: A ProPublica and MLK50 analysis shows that just 17 of more than 800 immigration arrests made by Trump’s crime-fighting task force in and around Memphis were for violent crimes.

82% of the immigration arrests followed a traffic stop.

Smell of feces, vomit fills crowded ICE facility, detainee's wife says Conditions at the ICE facility in central Phoenix mirror the conditions at a Mesa facility, where people were being treated worse than "animals," lawmakers said.

Many, many brave people are fighting to stop this, and also—our collective failure to stop it from getting this far will haunt us for the rest of our lives.
