FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

Thune: "We've got a big harvest coming in here in South Dakota, corn and soybeans, and no place to go with it ... we are looking at potential solutions to make sure we can help support farmers until some of those markets come back."

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.

WELKER: Do you support the president using the US military to police American cities? THUNE: Well, it depends on what he's using it for ... he certainly has the right to protect law enforcement officials in some of these cities if they're under threat

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Klobuchar: "When I questioned AG Bondi during her confirmation hearing, she assured me that politics would not play a role, that they would make independent decisions. That is not what this is. This is a vengeance prosecution. It is not about the law."

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

🔥 RICHARD MASSEY: “No one here in MEMPHIS asked for military occupation… this is not a war on crime, it’s a war on the working class… we know better than to sign off on our city becoming a blueprint for authoritarianism.”

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are going to shut down the United States government so they do not have to release the Epstein files. Shutting our government down, hurting Americans, to protect pedophiles. How this isn’t the biggest scandal in American history is beyond me.
