President Donald Trump announced that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil, citing in part the treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a political al… Tariffs are supposed to be about our economy NOT TRUMP interfering in a sovereigns justice system. WAYS OF A DICTATOR

Elon Musk has turned Grok into a megaphone for antisemitism—spewing Nazi tropes, praising Hitler, and echoing white nationalist message boards. He said he was making it “less woke.” Instead he's turning it into 4chan. AI reflects the intelligence behind it—in this case, Musk. A scary warning.

Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein's townhouse. It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search—and items seized—that were never made public. While others ducked, I asked former FBI Director Wray for the truth. The American people deserve it, I'm going to keep pressing for it.

Our National Institutes of Health are our true Department of Defense. Despite their claims to the contrary, the Trump Administration’s cuts to NIH funding are slowing research, delaying care, and altering students’ and researchers’ career paths. Our leadership in health research will be diminished.
Nearly 70 dead in Texas floods as families of missing wait and hope - The Wall Street Journal Trump/Repubs think we don’t need FEMA,NOAA,NAT’L WEATHER SVC. TOTALLY WRONG!!
Even in challenging times like this, I hope you’re able to find some joy this 4th of July and take a moment to reflect on the values of freedom, equality, and justice that still make our country worth fighting for — because this fight isn’t over. Happy Independence Day to all.

The GOP are taking food and health care from the poor so the richest people alive can get even richer. This may be the most morally repugnant bill Congress has ever produced. It will devastate Memphis, TN-9, and beyond. I voted HELL NO. I’ll keep fighting this cruelty with everything I've got.

Hakeem Jeffries is about to break the record for longest speech on the House floor. He told many a truth about this corrupt Big Ugly Bill, and the failings of Trump, Vance, and their sycophants. God save the United States of America.

I asked my Republican colleagues to live up to the words of Jesus: “I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick and you healed me.” They rejected it. Instead, the GOP is advancing a bill that strips food and health care from the poor and gives the money to the wealthy. It's a moral disgrace.

The GOP's One Big Ugly Bill guts TennCare—Tennessee's Medicaid program—leaving 310,000+ Tennesseans without health care. All so they bankroll tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations. They're taking health care away from poor people so rich people can get even richer.
