All government employees, including Members of Congress, follow a binding ethics code—but not Supreme Court justices.
In this video, I break down my bill with @RepAOC imposing a $50 gift ban on the High Court which is enmeshed with billionaire sugar daddies and Leonard Leo law.

Democracy isn't just a static collection of institutions. It’s statehood for millions of disenfranchised people, a stop to voter suppression, and an end to partisan gerrymandering and dark money.

LifeWise, a nonprofit Bible study program, is now partnering with more than 300 public schools in a dozen states to bring bible lessons to children during the school day.
@ahylton26 looks at how it operates and the rising controversy.
