This is the right decision by SCOTUS to protect the integrity of our elections against Trump's baseless efforts to rig them.

As Trump's authoritarian government continues to attack our free & fair elections, we must keep standing up in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities.

Since Trump started this illegal & senseless war in Iran, his buddies in Big Oil have made $130 BILLION in profit while American households have paid over $1,100 in extra fuel costs.
 
Literally profiting off working people's pain.
 
To save lives & lower costs, this war must end.

U.S. Oil Industry Earned Over $130 Billion in Profit During Iran War

That was almost three times as much as what businesses producing and refining oil in the United States made in the same period in 2025.

DoorDash spent years stiffing workers but just coughed up $17 BILLION to buy a competitor.

If you can cut a check for $17 BILLION, you can afford to pay your workers a fair & living wage.

Meanwhile, Trump's FTC is silent as more & more mergers raise prices & hurt workers.

BREAKING: DoorDash just agreed to buy Instacart for $17 billion. Here's what that means for customers and shoppers.

Trump is still trying to use your tax dollars to run his propaganda ads on TV, in yet another attempt to illegally influence the midterms for Trump.
 
YOUR tax dollars should be used to lower YOUR costs, improve YOUR schools, or fix YOUR roads — not to run ads for the president.

🚨 They're STILL covering up the Epstein Files. Blanche specifically said there was no classified material in the Epstein Files — was that a lie? What are they hiding?
 
This coverup is illegal & needs to end now.

Classified material missing from Epstein files, documents suggest

Missing pages and a reference to classified documents contradict the Justice Department's claims about the Epstein files.

Michael & Susan Pretti saw their son gunned down by DHS officers & watched this admin smear him as a "domestic terrorist." Now they can't get answers about his death from Trump, Blanche, & Mullin. 

Everyone engaged in this cover up must be held accountable.

Parents of nurse killed by ICE demand DOJ release evidence in fatal shooting

The parents of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse and U.S. citizen who was killed in Minneapolis, said they were “begging” the Justice Department “to do what is right.”

Yesterday, after weeks of escalating crackdowns, Egypt’s govt shut down Mada Masr, one of the country’s leading independent outlets, & convicted its editor-in-chief, Lina Attalah.

They must reverse this decision & stop their assault on press freedoms.

Journalism is not a crime.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov

Less than a month after arresting the entire Matsadaash newsroom, the Egyptian govt has now filed baseless charges against the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, continuing their largest crackdown in years.   This assault on the free press must end NOW. Journalism is not a crime.

Trump & Republicans would rather make you ration your meds & skip a doctor’s appointment than make a billionaire pay their fair share.

In the richest country in the world, healthcare shouldn't be a privilege for the rich, it should be a right for all.

We need Medicare for All.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com

To combat rising health care costs, people have said they are forgoing health insurance coverage, rationing their medications, cutting back on doctor visits and putting off health procedures.

Working Americans around the country are having to choose between getting groceries or filling up a tank of gas — all thanks to Trump.

But what is he focused on? Finding new schemes to evade taxes on his billions. Despicable.

Trump’s illegal Iran war is turning into our next forever war.

8 months in, Trump & Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking the next strike or another bombing campaign will finally bring victory.

From Vietnam to Iraq, we know how this ends.

This war must end NOW.

U.S. and Israel Draw Up Plans for Renewed Strikes on Iran After Elections

Renewed hostilities might not be any more successful than the war’s first phase, and President Trump has repeatedly canceled plans for a return to major combat.

The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators.

MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

CPJ condemns the referral of @MadaMasr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah to trial for operating a website without a license that Egyptian authorities have themselves refused to grant for years. Egypt is weaponizing its media law to punish independent journalism and intensify one of its worst crackdowns on the press in years, which began with the arrest of six Matsdaash journalists. It is long past time for Egypt to end this campaign and allow independent media to report freely.

Why is GM nickel and diming their workers if they have billions for stock buybacks?

These profits belong, first & foremost, to the workers who created them. Sending them to Wall Street & their executives is gross abuse of corporate power. Give it back!

Since last Saturday, Meta executives have given vague & shifting answers for why the No Kings Instagram was taken down at the height of the protests.
 
Today, I'm calling on Meta to come clean.
 
Is Meta intentionally censoring speech? Americans deserve answers.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He's responsible for killing over 150,000 Ukrainians — including more than 15,000 civilians — and the murder of political opponents & dissidents.
 
Witkoff & Trump's bootlicking is an embarrassment to our country.
