AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Steve Rattner joined MorningJoe after China raised tariffs on US imports to 125% and the Trump administration confirmed American duties on Chinese goods now total 145%. Rattner called the tariff escalation a "total unforced error," warning it's "the worst economic policymaking" he's seen in 50 years

Alex Jones’s appeal was DENIED by the Connecticut Supreme Court, upholding our $1 billion+ verdict against him and Infowars on behalf of Sandy Hook families and a first responder. Good day for justice. Bad day for Alex Jones.

Private equity groups exist to grow their bottom lines, not to care for nursing home residents. Their track record proves it. Iowa seniors need our protection from these predatory groups who put profit over Iowans' well-being. See the full remarks here: bit.ly/42KYG9R

This is what heroes do

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

The Trump Admin sent armed marshals in a mafia-style intimidation campaign to silence and intimidate a witness set to testify in my spotlight hearing with @schiff.senate.gov. Today, Liz Oyer appeared undaunted, standing for what is right, lawful and just, to give her testimony.
