That’s why I support a constitutional amendment to ban self-pardons and prevent presidents from using clemency to protect themselves, their family, or their insiders.
But because amending the Constitution is so difficult, we also need to pursue legislative solutions now.

The pardon power was meant to serve justice, not to protect corruption.
Not to shield political allies.
And never to put the president above the law.
Corruption, plain and simple.
Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have spent years chasing conspiracy theories about an election decided six years ago while Epstein’s trafficking network still hasn’t been fully exposed.
Their priorities say everything.

This should be a bigger story.
More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.
The result is exactly what farmers feared: fewer buyers, less stability, and more farms disappearing.
This didn’t have to happen.

At the same time, Republicans in Congress cut over $1 billion from programs that helped schools and food banks buy food directly from local farmers, strengthening local agriculture while feeding children and families.
The American Farm Bureau has warned that rising costs, falling margins, and policy decisions in Washington are pushing family farms to the brink.

To expose the utter hypocrisy of my Republican colleagues giving Donald Trump a free pass on everything he does, I’m starting a new series called “Can You Imagine if Obama Had Done This?”
Starting with this:
Trump suing his own IRS for TEN BILLION DOLLARS.
If Obama had done anything approaching this, Republicans would be calling for investigation, impeachment, indictment, and probably worse.
With Trump, they can’t be bothered to notice.

“The United States will essentially have no laws on the books that enforce how efficient America’s passenger cars and trucks should be.”

Please stop scrolling for a minute and read this story. Children should never be treated this way. This is not about a policy disagreement. It is a complete moral failure.
A decent country protects children, period.
What in the hell is wrong with these people?

It was an honor to take the oath last night, surrounded by friends, family, and my wonderful wife Chrissy, as my name was officially placed on the ballot for re-election. Serving our community in Congress is the privilege of a lifetime.

Howard Lutnick claimed he never spent time with Jeffrey Epstein.
But under oath, he acknowledged traveling to Epstein’s private island, years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Lutnick’s name appears in more than 250 Epstein-related documents released by the Justice Department.
Accountability cannot depend on your title or your proximity to power.
Howard Lutnick should resign.

Trump and Republicans are pouring billions of your tax dollars into ICE raids and crackdowns, while gutting Medicaid and SNAP. Families are getting crushed by rent, groceries, and prescriptions.
They chose fear and cruelty while working people are paying the price.

Rev. Jesse Jackson devoted his life to expanding freedom, challenging injustice, and giving voice to those too often left unheard.
He marched with Dr. King, helped shape the modern civil rights movement, and never stopped believing in the promise of this country.
