Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. Dems need to be on the side of the many, not Big Money.

One of the first things Fidel Castro did upon taking power was televising live executions by firing squad.

If Trump's FBI won't hold Susan Collins accountable, then Mainers will hold her accountable at the ballot box this November. It's time to go, Sen. Collins.

Republicans' fear of fake socialism in the United States is bringing about real fascism in the United States. Mainly because they are too ignorant to know the difference.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

We now know harmful “forever chemicals” are likely in the bodies of most people on Earth. Decades ago, 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into the public’s blood, but they kept that a secret. One 3M scientist helped reporter Sharon Lerner understand how they kept it quiet for so long:

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over.
