Trump signed a law barring his team from closing federal food-safety research labs without Congress. Then they tried anyway, until a judge stopped them. Now a Trump donor wants a private road through Yosemite. A law on paper won’t stop these people. Your mail might.

No insurance company should be allowed to deny the care your doctors say you need. It’s time to take on the health insurance industry and ban them from denying claims so you can afford the treatment your doctor prescribes.

ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

Chief Justice John Roberts handed Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card and called it constitutional law. He thinks a lifetime seat makes him untouchable. It doesn’t. Congress can impeach a chief justice. Most Americans have no idea. Spread it.

Despite Seattle's reputation as a trans haven, the University of Washington has reacted to escalating attacks on trans rights with silence — even after a trans student was murdered. But trans academic workers, unionized with UAW, are fighting back. Our latest, from @thefreeradical.org.

$75 barely covers a tank of gas, let alone a cart of groceries. This inflation adjustment falls way short of making up for the high costs of Trump’s war with Iran and chaotic tariffs. Congress needs to scrap the cap and expand benefits for our seniors.

A slap on the wrist for Bank of America. CEO Brian Moynihan owes Congress answers, and we need a criminal investigation into the apparent violation of our anti-money laundering laws. I’ve long said big bank CEOs should be held personally accountable if their banks break the law.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

This campaign is about how the people of Maine know that our government is fundamentally flawed—and Senator Collins won't do anything about it. After 30 years, she keeps telling us how powerful she is. What good is that power if she won't use it to stand up and fight for us?
