House Democrats stand in solidarity with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s monstrous international sex trafficking ring. They have come to the State of the Union to reject Trump’s claim that this is a “hoax.” America demands an end to the Trump-Bondi coverup and justice for all the survivors and their families.

It's no secret Donald Trump fancied the DOJ his own personal law firm. Now, new reporting alleges he accepted millions of dollars in bribes from the Egyptian government while his DOJ looked the other way. Oversight Dems are demanding answers.

FBI Director Kash Patel steps before House Judiciary Dems on Wednesday. America wants answers about the ongoing coverup allowing Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their billionaire pals to thwart justice for trafficking victims and accountability for predators.

Democrats have got the unity and fight to oppose Trump’s illegal and monarchical decimation of Congressional legislation and federal programs. We will show up wherever and whenever the rule of law is under attack by Elon Musk and his interns.

The president wants all the parts of government closed that he can't personally profit from. So he doesn't care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote bitcoin.

America sees the brutal violence ICE and Border Patrol are inflicting on our people and won’t allow it to continue. Trump and Noem underestimate the American people—as they say in Minneapolis, “We’ve got eyes/so stop your lies.”

Democracy isn't just a static collection of institutions. It’s statehood for millions of disenfranchised people, a stop to voter suppression, and an end to partisan gerrymandering and dark money. To defend democracy is to defend progress toward a more perfect union.

It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.

When I learned thousands of retired officers from NOAA Marine/Aviation and USPHS Commissioned Corps did not receive pension payments during the last government shutdown, I introduced bipartisan legislation to make sure they will always get the benefits they've earned. This week, it passed the House and is one step closer to becoming law.

BIG NEWS: I just signed and filed a discharge petition to force a floor vote on my legislation to permanently block Trump’s $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund for his January 6 private militia and family-sized Super Pardon. I'm calling on all members of Congress to sign on. We can stop this self-dealing scheme and stand up for the taxpayers.

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.

MAGA Supreme Court justices accept from interested business people trips to luxury resorts, flights on private jets and cruises on luxury yachts—with total impunity. If anyone in Congress did this, they'd be in jail. I've introduced legislation with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ben Ray Luján to set a $50 gift limit for justices and finally close this appalling ethics loophole.

Before becoming FBI Director, Kash Patel went on a media tour calling to release the Epstein Files. Now in charge, Director Patel is assisting in the massive cover-up of the Epstein Files and using taxpayer funds to lead his jet-setting luxury lifestyle. Even Republicans like Chuck Grassley are asking questions about his spending practices.

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.

Davey Hearn is an upstanding citizen in Montgomery County, a three-time Olympian canoeist and a celebrated teacher of canoeing and kayaking in our community. His Kafkaesque arrest and prosecution on Orwellian charges from Trump’s Reflecting Pool algae farm are a disgrace, especially given Trump’s mass pardon of Capitol rioters who actually destroyed federal property on January 6, 2021 and did millions of dollars of physical damage, in addition to wounding 150 police officers. Davey defaced no walls at the Kennedy Center, destroyed nothing at the Strait of Warm-Ooze and bulldozed no wings of the White House. Free Davey.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Disqualifying Trump from office under Section III of the 14th Amendment doesn't undermine democracy—insurrection does that. The Framers of the 14th Amendment sought to protect democracy against violent attack—and our Supreme Court should too.

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

The Framers taught us that the biggest threat to religious freedom comes from theocrats who try to establish their own sect over everyone else. That’s why we have two religion clauses in the First Amendment.

USAID was created by President Kennedy and an act of Congress, and it can only be disbanded by an act of Congress signed into law by Donald Trump. Is Trump allowing his pet dictator Elon Musk to supplant him and destroy the American constitutional system?
