Mayor Zohran Mamdani just unsealed 170,000 pages of hidden 9/11 files that politicians buried for 25 years. What these documents expose about the government lying to Ground Zero heroes is devastating.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot.
And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow.
He's a disgrace to the Court.

Clarence Thomas is set to become the second-longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court. His legacy is marred by ethics scandals that highlight the lack of accountability for justices. It's past time to reform the Court.

Clarence Thomas Is About to Become the Second-Longest-Serving Supreme Court Justice Ever
His tenure has included multiple ethics scandals, as well as votes that helped roll back voting rights and ushered in unlimited corporate spending on elections.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
