Exclusive: Ed Martin, now the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, did not disclose his RT and Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate. The State Department has said the networks act like arms of Russian intelligence. wapo.st/43WsZwq

To all Republicans: Will you STAND UP for the rule of law and demand Mr. Abrego Garcia’s return to America? Or, will you BOW DOWN to Donald Trump and his chilling plans to illegally deport American citizens? The choice is yours, and the world is watching.

More than 2M Illinoisans rely on Social Security, yet they continue to experience obstacles to accessing essential benefits and services. I spoke to retirees in Springfield about the impact that cuts to Social Security would have on their day-to-day lives.

This is incredibly concerning. Not only did Ed Martin fail to report 150+ appearances on Russian state media… he did so as recently as last year while Russia was actively bombing Ukraine. We need to hear from Ed Martin under oath.

Praying for the health and safety of all FCI Thomson officers who were treated. BOP must take all necessary steps to protect staff while also ensuring that those in custody can communicate with their families.

Ed Martin, Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney in DC, presented an award to Timothy Hale-Cusanelli and called him “an extraordinary man.” Hale-Cusanelli is a well-documented antisemite.

The Trump Administration wants to cut our health agencies by 30%. What does this mean? - Decimating medical research - Less inspections of food facilities - Ending HIV/AIDS initiatives - Abuse and Mental Health Services won't be funded This will hurt Americans.

My prayers are with the Florida State University community as police respond to another school shooting. Students should be celebrating the end of the school year approaching… not evacuating campus to process the aftermath of gun violence.

There's no surprise that belittling Ukraine and parroting Kremlin talking points weren’t effective in stopping Putin’s bloody war in Ukraine. What happened to Donald Trump saying he'd close the deal on Day One?

Without emergency intervention from the Supreme Court, it appears the Trump Administration planned to unlawfully deport more individuals to a notorious prison in El Salvador without due process. And the President has suggested he could deport others—including U.S. citizens.

Trump's own former Pentagon staffer and a personal friend of Sec. Hegseth described the last month as "total chaos at the Pentagon." Our government is not a playground. Sec. Hegseth is a danger to our national security, and it is time for him to step down.

BREAKING: New reporting finds apparent misuse of government dollars by Kash Patel, using government resources to attend hockey games and a UFC match.

This is the same administration that preaches about “waste, fraud, and abuse.” The Judiciary Committee must investigate Director Patel’s apparent misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Firing senior leadership who fail his “loyalty” test. Leaking war plans. Planning top-secret briefings on China for Elon Musk. Endangering the lives of our service members. Sec. Hegseth is reckless with our national security. He is not fit to lead our Department of Defense.
