The Open Government Partnership is based on the belief that everyone should be able to understand government decisions affecting their lives and can hold officials to account. Much work remains but we will continue to work to strengthen democracy at home and around the world.

Question is the price to strengthen democracy does need a senseless and brutal war? Is that the original goals of NATO eastward expansion?

It is literally impossible to hold federal officials to account in the US. They ignore the law.

Mr Blinken, the American families who are suffering in Lahaina due to fire can use the $1billion that u just gave to Ukraine. We must help Americans first!

Republicans could open the government today. But until then, Democrats will continue fighting to protect Americans' health care and do everything we can to hold this regime accountable as they attack every aspect of our democracy.

The only way to keep the government open is for Republicans to come to the table and negotiate to fix their healthcare crisis and fund the government “We can fix this, and we should.” Senator Brian Schatz

Yesterday, I questioned the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips and Home Office officials on the national grooming gangs inquiry. I focused on three key questions: 1.⁠ ⁠Why did the Home Office fail to instruct agencies across the country to preserve grooming gang records? 2.⁠ ⁠Why has the Government already announced Oldham as a key location for the Inquiry - but not Keighley and Bradford? 3.⁠ ⁠How much funding is being used for the inquiry - and is it is enough? I will continue to do all I can to demand a specific focus on Keighley and Bradford - and hold the government to account on their promises to victims and survivors across the UK. You can watch my questions below 👇

Tester: Women should be able to make their own healthcare decisions. You know, we talked about Montanans and Republicans and Democrats but there are a whole lot of libertarians.. they don’t want the federal government telling them how to live their lives

#WATCH | Delhi | On National Statistics Day, Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation and Planning, Rao Inderjit Singh says, "The idea is that when we give credible data to our government and not only our government but also to people who are dependent on us like in our neighboring countries, third world countries, we should be able to guide them in giving credible data so that their respective countries can progress based on this data. The Prime Minister and the PMO are both very concerned that data should not be half-hearted..."

MUST WATCH: "We have to acknowledge that we are slaves" "We are the only country in the world that is asked to go to work, then pay MOST of our money back to the government" "If we live to work, to provide most of our money back to the government... we are legitimately slaves to the government." "We exist to fund the government. That is not free."

Why won’t you answer the question? Instead of addressing a serious issue affecting parents and children, the Government once again resorts to petty political point scoring. If democracy is to mean anything, Government Ministers must be held to account. If you would like to help hold Liz Kendall to account, please copy and paste the template email in the comments and send it to liz.kendall.mp@parliament.uk

Football and sport have the power to unite the world. But also, football and other sports help to prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes and can also improve mental health and wellbeing. The partnership between World Health Organization (WHO) and FIFA has allowed us to promote physical activity and healthy food, including at the World Cup and many other FIFA events. We will continue to work together to strengthen the links between the global game and global health.

Currently, Floridians have to pay a fee to the government just to be able to keep their home. This is wrong. I agree with the Governor that we should eliminate homestead property taxes. We also must ensure key local government services are fully-funded and remain operational.

.Marc J. Dunkelman: The misunderstanding here is that those who say we need to attack corporate power are just taking the Brandeisian notion of it. And the abundance ethos harkens back to the old ideas that existed from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1960s — that we should be building up government power so that government is capable of taking on these corporations. That we have people in government who can make discretionary decisions about where we're going to build transmission lines, how we're going to improve transit, where we're going to build housing, how we're going to regulate this and that. We want bureaucracies to be able to move speedily and make decisions in the public interest. It's the reforms we've seen since the 60s and 70s that have slowed government down so they cannot be responsive to the corporate challenge. The idea that we should abandon abundance in the name of attacking corporations misses the point that government should be a competent institution that can accurately — and thoroughly — review and challenge corporations when they're doing wrong.

We ask our soldiers to put their lives on the line to keep us safe. The least we can do is stand by them. Yet this Government will allow veterans to be dragged through the courts for entirely legal decisions they made decades ago. How can soldiers trust this British Government?
