Reverend Jesse Jackson exemplified what it means to speak truth to power. We are committed to honoring his legacy every day by fighting for "the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world" as he spent his life doing.
May he rest in power.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

My first town hall this year was in Walden, one of the most conservative towns in Colorado.
I found my proposal — to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists & strengthen bribery laws —resonated there as much as everywhere else.
Grateful to chat w/Heather Cox Richardson on the road ahead.

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control.
The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
