Donald Trump is banning news networks from the White House because he doesn't like what they have to say. He is trampling on the Constitution. The courts are pushing back, and the American people will too.

I guess that Senate Republicans missed the House GOP memo - letting Jack Smith testify in public only reinforces the FACTS - that President Trump and his co-conspirators tried to steal the 2020 election and deserve to be criminally prosecuted for those crimes against our country.

How special to see the rare Lincoln banner created to hang on the Delco Courthouse for the 1860 Presidential election! The banner is unique because it depicts Lincoln without a beard.

President Trump and his allies can no longer hide the fact that they have put their own financial and political interests above those of the American people. They don't want to hear the verdict of Americans come November, because Americans are rejecting their corruption, chaos and cruelty.

If we want to strengthen fraud enforcement, we should restore the independence, expertise, and accountability at the Department of Justice rather than engage in more performative legislation.

Our democracy ultimately depends on Americans choosing to participate in it. When the White House sows propaganda and injects chaos in our elections, it suppresses voter participation. Americans should have confidence that when they cast a lawful ballot, that ballot will be counted.

It's illegal to send armed officers or troops to polling places, so when members of the Trump administration say that they might, they are trying to chill participation in our elections by American citizens.

Pennsylvanians: If the SAVE Act were to pass, your PA Real ID would no longer be enough to register to vote. This bill is a massive disenfranchisement effort, particularly for married women, young people, and people living in rural areas.
