By the way, did the investigation find & retrieve the $50,000 cash? Did Homan ever pay taxes on it? Those questions & others hang over Homan. Americans deserve answers. And, not least, Homan’s resignation.

What are Bondi & DOJ hiding? There’s no excuse for keeping Homan’s file concealed. The investigation is supposedly closed—so the tape of his accepting a $50,000 bag of cash, interview records, & other evidence, all can & should be released.
Jimmy Kimmel’s return is no cause for complacency. Affiliates continue to bar him. Carr continues as a menace. This Administration is muzzling America. It’s unconstitutional & cruelly undemocratic.
Hegseth’s prior approval rule smacks of prior restraint—unconstitutional & unacceptable. What’s Hegseth hiding? His concealment is a disservice to brave, dedicated Americans who ably defend our freedoms—like the First Amendment—that he tramples.
Wishing a happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate. A time for reflection & rejoicing, may this new year bring joy & renewal. Shana Tova!
Trump’s directive to AG Bondi—indict my political enemies—shows how low he’s sunk & how high the danger. Tyranny is here, not on the horizon, if such abjectly abusive prosecutions are permitted. Even long supine Republicans must grow a spine.
Jimmy Kimmel is off-the-air because of an unprecedented act of gov’t censorship. The FCC has now proven that its sole mission is to be the speech police for Trump, punishing his perceived opponents & rewarding his cronies. Chair Carr has shown his true self: free speech fraud.
Lights flashing, gate arms lowering & still Tesla vehicles in full self-driving mode failed to stop for oncoming trains. Human action averted a disaster, but Tesla’s failing software is another accident waiting to happen.
Americans are left in the dark as the Supreme Court uses the Shadow Docket to make consequential decisions on high-stakes issues—like immigration, abortion rights, & government spending. Reform is needed now to promote transparency & accountability.

People are on the verge of losing their health insurance because Trump & Republicans have failed to extend the premium tax credits. We must pass the Heath Care Affordability Act to make these tax credits permanent so people can access the diagnoses, medicine & treatment they need.
Instead, let's listen to leaders like Governor Cox, who today rightly urged Americans to turn away from division & choose a future where politics doesn't feel like rage.
President Trump betrays the trust of his office & Americans who hope for greater unity & less political violence when he says we must “beat the hell out of them,” referring to the supposed “Radical Left.” Inflaming hostility & encouraging violence are repugnant at this moment.
I was honored to meet with Ukrainian government officials working to support their rapidly growing veteran population. Ukrainians deserve our continued support in their fight for freedom—starting with increased military aid & the Graham-Blumenthal Sanctions bill.
The horrors & heroism of September 11th will never be forgotten.
Today we honor the lives lost, their loved ones, & all who bravely rushed to help.
We must recommit to fight for justice for victims & health care for first responders harmed by this tragedy.
Putin’s threatening drone action in Poland—overplaying his hand—must be met promptly. More than strong condemnation. Support for NATO allies, coupled with immediate increased military aid to Ukraine, & passage of Graham-Blumenthal Sanctions bill to cripple Putin’s economy & war machine.
Animal abuse is abhorrent—&, tragically, expanding. My Better CARE for Animals Act would help punish & deter it with tougher penalties & accountability with real punch. Animals need advocates— they can’t do it.
Shutting down Revolution Wind is insane, illogical & illegal. Thousands of workers are without jobs, businesses may close & energy prices will climb higher because of this foolish decision. I applaud AG Tong for his swift action against the Trump Admin.
In Norwich, on Labor Day, with the Feisty Four Strings at the Indivisible Rally to honor workers & their champions. In song & speech, standing up for American values.
Paranoid delusions seem to be seizing Sec. Burgum. His fumbling fact free rationale for illegally shutting down Revolution Wind is ludicrous. It means higher electricity prices for consumers & massive job cuts. Not to mention undermining energy independence. It’s crazy & lawless.
Kennedy is unfit—period. He’s the one who should be fired. His dangerous illegalities require Congressional intervention. Bipartisan investigation is a first step—aiming for full accountability.
