House Democrats want a government that’s an instrument for the public good, not an instrument of self-enrichment for the president and his rich friends. Americans are sick of the coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption emanating from Trump's White House.

🚨 Jamie Raskin reveals plans to investigate Trump's pardons and the people profiting from access to them.
“We counted more than $1.7 billion” in forgiven restitution and fines, Raskin says.
He specifically names Matt Gaetz and Roger Stone while discussing alleged “pardon brokers.”
“We're going to shine a light on all of that.”
This week’s MD-08 Local Hero is Debbie Feinstein, Chief of the Special Victims' Division of the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office.

👀 Jamie isn’t actually @RepRaskin’s first name.
Raskin tell @maxpcohen he was named after his grandfather Benjamin, but said his parents “played a trick” on him and reversed the name.
The result: Jamin Ben Raskin.

🚨 NEW FLY OUT DAY STREAMING NOW ✈️
@RepRaskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on House Judiciary and former Oversight ranking member, sat down with @JakeSherman to talk midterms, the Epstein investigation, a possible Trump impeachment and MUCH more.
Stick around: for Hill legends @hillhulse of @nytimes and our own @bresreports break down the interview.
House Republicans knew their “One Big Ugly Bill” would rip away health care from millions of seniors, kids, American workers and people with disabilities. They voted for it, and praised it, anyway to give tax breaks to our billionaires and our trillionaire. Now, health care and health insurance are way more expensive for everyone.
Plutocracy and inequality make us poorer and sicker as a society.
Sarah Bloom Raskin’s important piece in the Atlantic makes the point that the next financial bailout will be an opportunity for more plunder and corruption in the Trump Administration. We need an economic policy for the American people—not the predatory power elite.
If the AI bubble bursts, Donald Trump could control a bailout apparatus with essentially limitless authority, @SBloomRaskin argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

On Monday the House Judiciary Committee Dems released an explosive 50+ page report documenting Donald Trump’s deep involvement in Epstein's criminal network and DOJ's refusal to prosecute or even investigate any of Epstein’s accomplices, co-conspirators and enablers. Read it yourself and help debunk Trump’s lies.
President Trump and his personal attorney-turned-personal-Attorney General, Todd Blanche, want the American people to believe that (1) there is no evidence in the Epstein files that could justify an investigation of anyone other than Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, (2) that Epstein and Maxwell alone, with no help, trafficked thousands of women and young girls in a billion-dollar decade-long international conspiracy, (3) that the Epstein files “fully exonerate” Trump of any involvement in Epstein’s network or other wrongdoing and, (4) Trump banned his best friend Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for being a “creep.” @HouseJudiciary Democrats set out to find the truth about these claims.
They are all outrageous lies.
We also found five survivors who accuse Trump himself of raping or sexually assaulting them in Epstein’s close company, one of whom had never spoken in detail about her rape until now. The DOJ won't do its job to investigate all of the abundant evidence of wrongdoing in the Epstein files, so Democrats demand appointment of a truly independent Special Counsel to conduct a thorough investigation of the largest human sex trafficking network in this century.
America mourns the passing of the dazzling and fearless farmworker organizer, Dolores Huerta. Dolores will be forever revered as a giant of the labor movement who stood with working people everywhere. May her righteous memory be a blessing to her family, friends and fellow activists.
Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. nyti.ms/4zZMDUY

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump. But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually attacking E Jean Carroll"

As Elon’s prophecy foretold—the truth is coming out.

Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
Our investigators compiled a six-year timeline tracing the events and evidence that tell a different story.
From 1991 to 1997, Trump and Epstein were best friends and key players in the murky world of beauty pageants. Eight women have accused Trump of being involved in Epstein's sex crimes during those six years.
We demanded answers on Andy's behalf, and we got results.
Americans should be able to trust that what they buy will work as promised and that the government will hold manufacturers accountable if they, the consumers, don’t get what they paid for.

Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?
Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network.
So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

Today we remember the 11 worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh who were murdered by a gun-wielding neo-Nazi. Eight years later, we keep the memories of the victims alive and express solidarity with the synagogue’s three congregations: New Light, Dor Hadash and Tree of Life. May the memories of those who perished in this savage antisemitic attack stay strong as we work toward a more just and peaceful world for all.
The firefighters and EMTs at the venerable Glen Echo Fire Department are awesome community servants working in an older and outmoded facility. Powered overwhelmingly by volunteers, they’re now raising broad community support for substantial renovation of this amazing community resource.
Thank you, Glen Echo Fire Department, for showing me around and for your steadfast and indispensable service to our community.
