We could not agree more with @agdanrayfield.bsky.social about the importance of Civics education in our nation's schools. Thank you Dan!
It’s never too early to get interested in public service!

We had great time this morning speaking with a civics class in Sherwood. We talked about what the Attorney General does, how the Department of Justice fights for Oregonians every day, and why civics matters.

Just like Jan 6th, Trump is clueless to the fact it seems that people take what he says seriously.
Rep. Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger who participated in the video, told Morning Edition host Leila Fadel that he's been receiving death threats since Trump's social media posts. But Crow said he won't be "intimidated."

The courts are too slow to be an effective backstop to the regime.
BREAKING: Judge Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into D.C. was illegal.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

Where's my gold bar? He keeps grifting and the media keeps downplaying it.
Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

Buddy up to ICE, get voted out. Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran (R) is now looking for a job because he signed up his deputies to partner with ICE. Law enforcement agencies should take note of what happened in this swing district in a swing state.

A Pennsylvania sheriff struck a deal with ICE. Months later, he was voted out.
A Philadelphia-area sheriff was ousted last week after facing criticism over a partnership he forged with federal immigration authorities.

This is extremely disturbing.

The new evidence raises more questions about what Trump knew and his relationship with Epstein.

Release the files.

Remember, Nancy isn't normal people.
A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

Trump spent HOURS with a victim at Jeffrey Epstein’s house and “knew about the girls,” according to released emails.

Those who suffered are owed peace. And those who are responsible for that suffering must face justice — no matter who they are.

RELEASE THE FULL FILES NOW.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Some of us are still waiting for a public option.
This moment’s health care emergency was created a generation ago. Ignoring this history now dooms us to repeat it in the future.
The Health Care Crisis Origin Story
A generation ago, Democrats helped the insurance industry shut down a rare opportunity - leading to this moment of chaos.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.
