Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

URGENT BREAKING: United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert just resigned after Trump said he wanted him out, following his refusal to indict Letitia James. Note: He was appointed by Trump. This is what “going after your political opponents” really looks like MAGA.

The fact that the Statehouse is packed shows how much people care about fair representation. Gerrymandering battles like this can shape political power for a decade, so protests like these are a crucial way for citizens to make their voices heard.👇

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
