As Democrats prepare to take control of Congress in January, party leaders say they intend to hold Trump officials accountable with stepped-up hearings and investigations. The administration has responded with threats to launch its own investigations into lawmakers for carrying out oversight.

What are the chances that the newly elected democratic house decides to think outside the box and nominate Stacey Abrams as the next Speaker of the House?...pretty sure that would blow a few MAGA gaskets...and counter Mike Johnson's Do-Nothing Congress...with a can-do woman who gets things done.
Our brilliant plan of putting people who think reading is gay in charge of everything has hit an unexpected snag.
He needs to be in prison for depraved indifference to human life.

DOJ’s shameful behavior in Broadview Six case will make it more difficult in the future for prosecutors of integrity to bring high-profile offenders to justice. And the real losers will be the American people. My thoughts in @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

When government lawyers appear in federal court, they enjoy something called “the presumption of regularity,” which is a fancy way of saying that judges give them the benefit of the doubt. President D...

It’s been less than two weeks since the midterms. But the scrambling from Big Tech and the Trump officials fleeing the administration tell the story: the vibe shift is here.
The post-election vibe shift is real
Even the Trump administration is trying to distance itself from itself.

On behalf of @theintercept.com, we’re challenging the Dept of Defense over its refusal to release public documents revealing the true number of U.S. service members lost in the war with Iran. Americans deserve the truth from their government.
Only the Trump regime would fuck up the entire air traffic system for 5 hours then yell at us like it’s our fault and demand we give them $50 billion
Fucking this, 👇 right here. It's just one reason in a very, very long list of reasons. Basic human decency and a moral compass prevent us from compromising. Why is this so hard to understand?
It’s World Kindness Day, Illinois. People have often called me a happy warrior, a title I feel grateful for and a responsibility to uphold. Some may confuse it for weakness, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

It says everything about Donald Trump that his gilded ballroom dwarfs the size of the People's House—and it says everything about the American people that they repudiated him loudly and clearly last Tuesday.
Good ideas die in DC because of the Senate's filibuster. The Constitution says nothing about needing 60 votes. Its history is dishonorable: it blocked civil rights legislation. If you want to ban Congressional stock trading, shine a light on dark money, disempower the lobbyists, nuke the filibuster
In January, ICE agents smashed Aliya Rahman’s windows, pulled her out of her car, ignored her assertions that she is a US citizen, and taunted her for her disability. Since then, she has tried over and over to get some accountability.
Aliya Rahman wants to unmask the ICE agents who dragged her from her car
The disabled US citizen filed a tort claim against ICE. Then she petitioned their civil rights watchdog team. Neither approach worked—so now, she's suing.
