A new Senate Judiciary Committee report found that Clarence Thomas failed to disclose two luxury vacations bankrolled by billionaire Harlan Crow — even after he amended his past disclosure filings. He's a national disgrace.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center. The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Wildfires in Canada have worsened over the years as climate change causes higher temperatures and uneven rainfall. Now, 100 million people are under air quality alerts due to the wildfires’ smoke. Remember: your tax dollars are subsidizing Big Oil’s ability to pollute our planet.

We’re going to have to lock a lot of doors and windows once Trump leaves the White House (and remove a lot of gold lettering). It will take a long time, but it must be done if we’re going to prevent this mess from happening again.

Last week, Trump fired the remaining three members of the Election Assistance Agency, effectively disbanding it. It’s the latest step he’s taken to rig the midterm elections. Here’s everything else he’s trying to do to cheat his way to victory.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
