The Southern Poverty Law Center has spent decades fighting racist extremism in America. Today, it’s under attack by MAGA and Todd Blanche. If you don’t like being called a hate group, use your own speech to explain why—don’t get the government to bring a counterfeit criminal prosecution against one of America’s leading civil rights groups.

This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon. Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff schemes and collusive 'settlements.'

The DOJ is giving Members of Congress just four computers in a satellite office to read the unredacted Epstein File of more than 3 million documents. Working 40 hours a week on nothing else but this, it would take more than seven years for the 217 Members who signed the House discharge petition to read just the documents they've decided to release (and there are 3 million still being withheld). This is what a cover up looks like.

Exciting news: my legislation, the BARK Act, is now one step closer to becoming law! The bill will help pet food manufacturers and pet food stores donate usable, surplus food and supplies to shelter cats and dogs in need. I joined my friends Penny and Julie at the Big Bad Woof, a beloved local business, to celebrate our progress.

Donald Trump got the Director of the US Patent and Trade Office to apply for trademarks for the Board of Peace—something it does for no other entity and which is not allowed under federal law. Then he waived the fee for registration. Now he’ll decide whether to grant the application he submitted! No one knows what this Board of Peace is or where the billions of dollars gathered from corrupt foreign states will go. We're exposing this devious scheme.

President Trump sent lawyers to court begging and pleading to let them rip away SNAP from 41 million hungry Americans. They lost big-time. Democrats will keep fighting to make sure the GOP’s Marie Antoinettes and Make Gatsby Great Again billionaires fail in their effort to bulldoze the nutrition and health of the people.

I agree with Tribe, Luttig, Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Fed Soc scholars: Section 3 of the 14th bars insurrectionists like Donald Trump from holding public office again. If you’ve abused your office by trying to overthrow the government, you get no more chances.

President Trump's nearly $1.8 billion slush fund is unconstitutional, illegal and a fraud on the court—and the country. Everyone—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—must reject this total usurpation of the other branches and flat-out violation of our nation's laws.

We have 535 Members of Congress but just one President. That's why we need a bipartisan independent commission under the 25th Amendment to make sure this president—and all future presidents—are fit to discharge the duties of their office. Congress should pass H.R. 8275 to fill this constitutional void.

President Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against his own government in exchange for a $1.776 billion slush fund to steer our tax dollars to election deniers and insurrectionists. If our Republican colleagues have any respect for the Constitution and the powers of Congress, they will join us and put a stop to this rank corruption.

Today, I journeyed to an obscure part of the Capitol basement to see the long-awaited plaque honoring the police officers who defended Congress and America against Trump’s insurrectionary mob on January 6, 2021. To his credit, Sen. Tillis joined Democrats in demanding it be put up, but this spot is not accessible to the public. Speaker Johnson, come on—put the plaque in its rightful place of honor.

Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel: We’re told you have video of Trump official Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash bribes stuffed into a CAVA bag in exchange for corruptly steering government contracts. America smells a rat. Release the tapes now!

The GOP wants to give the new president Orwellian powers to impose a Kafkaesque nightmare on America's nonprofits. What could go wrong with the new administration having the power to designate groups as "terrorist-supporting" with no judicial determination and no due process?

America must reject the GOP’s dangerous nihilism about the impossibility of separating truth from lies, a derangement brought on by Donald Trump but now infecting their whole party. Our system of democratic governance rests on truth and facts—not lies and conspiracy theories.

“Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are." -Then-t-shirt salesman & children's book writer Kash Patel. It's been 200 days since Director Patel has been sworn in but he's still covering up for Trump & won’t take his own advice & release the Epstein file.

In ICE’s holding facility in Baltimore, the Trump Administration is packing dozens and dozens of people shoulder-to-shoulder like sardines, 24-7 with no breaks, no showers and one group toilet. No one wants their family stuffed into a putrid locker room. With tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, ICE can do better.
