The Voting Rights Act ended 150 years of Jim Crow and finally gave truth to the 15th Amendment. In a democracy, the faith of the people is born of a belief that they can participate in its processes and benefit from its success.
Ossoff: Well, let's call it what it would be, which is a bailout for the United Arab Emirates.The way that Emirati money from Emirati Royals has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in American history.
Who are the president's two chief negotiators in the Middle East? Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Witkoff’s son is the key partner in the Trump family crypto business, which has received vast sums of money from Emirati royalty. The national security advisor in the United Arab Emirates, acquired a 49% stake in that business before the United States agreed to grant the UAE access to our most sensitive AI chips.
Then you have Jared Kushner, his private equity firm, affinity partners, which in addition to receiving billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, has received a lot of Emirati money.
The people doing our diplomacy are at the same time doing personal business across the region that's enriching the first family. And meanwhile, my constituents in Georgia are paying $4 for gas, paying more for groceries, rent, power and a meal out at a restaurant than ever before in American history. At the same time, the first family is raking in billions of dollars
I asked Kevin Warsh whether his secret $100 million was invested in any companies affiliated with the Trump family, Chinese-controlled companies, or financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein.
He refused to answer.
•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.
🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.
•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.
•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.
•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
Trump is paying a foreign company nearly $1 BILLION of YOUR money to stop building wind farms in America that would have lowered your electricity bills.
He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill these projects that would have powered over a million homes. So he decided to buy his way out of it instead.
Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive.

HAPPENING NOW: Senate Democrats will try AGAIN to pay our TSA workers amidst the Republican DHS shutdown.
Democrats will try to pass by unanimous consent – for the FOURTH time – a funding bill for TSA. Republicans have a simple choice: will they pay our critical workers and reduce wait times for flyers, or will they continue to block this funding?
Republicans have had every chance to fund TSA and keep airports running.
They chose not to.
Why? Because Democrats won’t rubber-stamp more money for an agency that’s tearing families apart and operating outside the law.
TSA workers don’t have to go unpaid. Lines don’t have to stretch for hours.
Let me be clear: Republicans are holding TSA workers and travelers hostage so ICE can expand its terrorization of American communities.
Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers.
My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid.
I think that's patently unfair.
Here is what’s really going on with regard to the funding stalemate in Congress.
ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.
Democrats then said: before we write you another check, agree to the same rules every police department in America already follows. Judicial warrants before entering homes. Visible ID. Body cameras. No raids at schools and hospitals.
We immediately pushed for votes to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA.
Republicans blocked it.
We tried to fund FEMA alone.
Republicans blocked that too. Their position was to fund ICE with no strings attached, or shut the whole thing down.
So DHS shut down.
Then yesterday, the White House sent a letter admitting we were right. But they still won’t agree to judicial warrants or to take the masks off, which means agents can still break down your door without a judge’s approval and you still can’t see their faces when they do it.
We’ve been ready to fund your airport security since day one, not to mention Coast Guard, FEMA and the rest. Republicans chose to protect ICE from accountability instead.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well.
It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
This story cannot keep flying under the radar.
A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate.
That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history, by far.

NEW: A judge ordered the US government to refund Trump's illegally collected tariffs.
It was theft in broad daylight.
I'm pushing Donald Trump to give the American people their money back.
These politicians are counting on you not to understand how the SAVE Act works. It doesn’t "save" anything – it could block tens of millions of eligible Americans from voting.
Don’t let misinformation win. Call your U.S. Senators and demand they vote NO: (202) 224-3121.
New: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem misled Congress about the powers of her controversial top aide Corey Lewandowski, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and four current and former DHS officials. https://t.co/SnZdNMuEiU
He's dropping papers, falling asleep at his own events, tripping up stairs, confused on who he's signing deals with (it's UK not EU).
This guy’s nearly 80. He’s tired, old and weak.
