Airline fees have gotten out of hand from seat selection to carry-ons. This article says it plainly, and it’s why I’m planning to reintroduce the Fair Fees Act. Passengers deserve transparency and a fair deal when they fly. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Ritchie Torres: Netanyahu has done ‘irreparable damage’ to relationship with Democrats jewishinsider.com/2025/07/ritchi…. TRUTH @RepRitchie
Bill Morris was an outstanding and beloved and effective politician. He had a great staff and he provided the leadership that made it happen Beyond his governmental roles of Sheriff and County Mayor, he did much for the university of Memphis and other community projects . He was…
Cutting Medicaid isn’t just bad for public health – it hurts the whole economy. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepEmiliaSykes explains how Medicaid cuts will cause hospitals to close and people to lose their jobs.
When Trump fired inspectors general, he wasn't draining the swamp—he was filling it with loyalists. I introduced the Independent Acting IG Act to stop Trump or anyone else from replacing IGs with political lackeys. We need to protect the watchdogs & the public from cronyism,…
.@SenatorDurbin: "For two weeks in late March, the FBI assigned approximately 1,000 personnel in its information management division...review and produce more Epstein documents. These officials were told to quote 'flag any records in which President Trump was mentioned.'"
DOJ plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell. But why now? Ghislaine is looking for a pardon, and who would be better to give it to her than a co-conspirator now in the Oval Office. Any testimony she provides must be accompanied by the release of the files to corroborate it.
The House GOP just shut down Congress until September to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files. As I've said, Trump's DOJ raided Epstein’s townhouse for a reason. Trump’s name appears 9 times in the public docs—he knows disaster awaits in the sealed files. The people…
House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.
Liar, liar pants on fire
And this one's for those PBS cuts @realDonaldTrump
Handing MEMPHIS-based xAI a $200 Million National security contract 1 week after it was spewing vicious antisemitism isn’t just “questionable”, as @RepCohen rightly calls it here. It’s insane.
Musk said he was making Grok “less woke.” Then it started praising Hitler. That’s not AI gone rogue, it’s AI reflecting the person behind it: a chainsaw-waving billionaire who tosses out Heil Hitler salutes while dismantling programs for working people and pocketing…
After turning Grok into 4chan, Musk is getting a $200M AI contract from the Pentagon. I'm an Intel Committee member. We face many real threats on many fronts. This isn't the kind of “intelligence" we should be relying on to protect our national security—or subsidizing with…
The GOP's Big Ugly Bill funds ICE more than the FBI. America's top investigative agency under Trump is ICE—not the FBI. That's insane. They wanted people to think this was all about catching murderers and child abusers, but that's not what ICE is focused on. Now they're gutting…
Transparency in the Epstein investigation should start with Trump's role. His AG directed the search of Epstein’s townhouse, and he & his successors haven't commented on or released an inventory of that search. Now his DOJ shut it down. Release the files. All of them. The…
Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein's townhouse. It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search—and items seized—that were never made public. While others ducked, I asked former FBI Director Wray for the truth. The American people deserve it, I'm going to keep…
