In the wake of Republican Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt’s failed “gotcha” moment with former special counsel Jack Smith, MS NOW reports that staff warned the lawmaker that text messages provided to the committee were unvetted.

After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors. I'm reminded of the words of MLK: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The shadow docket ruling Melissa Murray says brings us ‘dangerously close’ to ‘real tyranny’
The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority this week effectively greenlit racial profiling during ICE sweeps in Los Angeles, undermining the Fourth Amendment’s ban on unreasonable searches. Individuals can now be targeted if they “look” like they don’t belong—a move Melissa Murray calls “after-the-fact justice.” She warns we are “moving dangerously close" into real tyranny and explains how Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence plays “fast and loose with other people’s lives,” ignoring the Constitution’s commitment to individual dignity and rights.
