The scariest part about those young Republicans joking about r@pe, slavery, gas chambers and declaring their love for h!tler, is that it's not surprising.

AOC: What Russ Vought and the Trump administration are doing is likely illegal. They think it's about hurting Democrats. What they're doing is hurting Americans. Mike Johnson is choosing to punish the American People, we cannot stand for it and we cannot allow it. It ends today.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

In a scathing critique of President Donald Trump, Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday accused the Republican president of deploying National Guard troops to the Democratic cities of Chicago and Portland based on fixations that stem in part from his being mentally impaired.⁠

MAJOR BREAKING: Leaked Telegram messages expose Young Republican leaders praising Hitler, celebrating rape fantasies, and framing genocide as entertainment — and these aren’t random trolls. These are rising GOP operatives being groomed for national power.

Joe Biden had a peace deal in place, but then Netanyahu and Trump met at Mar-a-Lago and decided that keeping the war going would benefit them both.

Ten months later, they signed the exact deal Biden had brokered.

The administration has gutted the federal office that protects the rights of students with disabilities in schools. Without people in place to enforce the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), states could ignore their responsibilities to students with disabilities.

When you look at your inflated grocery bill this week, remember that right before he told you that prices were down, he spent the day finalizing a $20 billion Argentina bailout.

Trump is NOT America First.

Today, Sen. Tim Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration's decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Trump's DOJ may have destroyed the case against Luigi Mangione by violating his rights. The people prosecuting him keep going out there calling him a terrorist, a left-wing lunatic, etc., potentially tainting every jury pool across the country.

If this country was truly "pro life," we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn't about "life".

It's about control.

Elon Musk hitting $500 billion while 60% of Americans can't afford basic necessities is what it looks like when billionaires buy elections to get laws written to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else.

Elon Musk is a result of decades of policy failures.

Congressional Republicans and Trump are more concerned with getting their billionaire donors major tax cuts than preserving healthcare for their constituents.
