There should not be a statute of limitations on unconstitutional acts of government officials against people in the U.S., regardless of immigration or citizenship status of the victim.

RFK Jr. is pushing partisan politics and conspiracy theories over science and facts.

A bipartisan group of ACTUAL doctors and experts sounded the alarm on how dangerous it is to have RFK Jr. at the helm of the nation's health care system.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

You might have noticed Jack never posts captive wildlife except in extreme circumstances…and rescue/rehab settings.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

That one kid who never did the group project but still slapped his name on it? Yeah — that’s your president. Always hustling the credit, never doing the work.The con never ends.

Typical Don the Con. Did none of the work. Took all the credit. Classic.

I knew. I was so lucky because I did. My family was all healthy and so was I. We had enough. The country seemed to be progressing - slowly, but progressing. And I knew it was a moment I'd someday look back on and miss with all my heart.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

It's unacceptable that firefighters who die or are permanently disabled from work-related cancers don't receive the same benefits as others in the line of duty.

I'm working across the aisle to pass my bill to honor our commitment to these first responders and their families.

The President’s authorities under Article II are limited to responding to an armed attack/the threat of one and do not apply here.

These continued strikes — 27 killed to date — risk getting the U.S. into a full fledged war.

You know what today marks? 3 WEEKS since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election to represent #AZ07 in Congress.

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.

Democrats are ready to stop the price of your health care insurance from skyrocketing and reopen the government. But Senate Republicans refuse to hold a vote to lower health care costs–the House GOP isn’t even showing up to work.

They need to get serious and come to the negotiating table.

6/ Sure the House isn't here so Rs don't have to explain why they want premiums to go up and why they want to fund Trump's corruption.

But also because they don't want to swear in member-elect Adelita Grijalva. Since she would be the deciding vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top.

Will it be any different with AI and robotics?

I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
