Donald Trump is ripping healthcare away from millions and giving tax breaks to billionaires. And the Epstein files are part of his corruption and lies. We won’t stop until we release the files.

🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @oversightdemocrats.house.gov subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

🚨🚨🚨 Did you know that Fox News manipulated Donald Trump's answer about releasing the Epstein files during the presidential campaign? What are Fox and Trump trying to cover up?

BREAKING: FOX News deliberately manipulated Trump's answer on the Epstein Files in an interview last year. He was planning to cover for Epstein from the start. Oversight Dems are demanding answers from FOX executives for their part in this cover-up. Trump must release the files.

Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men. If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

“I think that we’ve got to be fighters in this moment.” — Ranking Member Robert Garcia as he takes the helm of the Oversight Committee.
As Democrats spoil for a fight, a new face in the House is leading them on oversight
Rep. Robert Garcia is the new top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. At a moment when his party is craving more confrontation with President Trump, he says he's ready to lean into the fray.

Superman was incredible and I highly recommend. Great themes around immigration, a billionaire obsessed with power, international conflict, and being a good human. Truth & Justice, Always!

Superman opens this weekend, so @jimacosta.bsky.social and I talked about his immigration story, his billionaire arch nemesis, and how Fox News is losing its mind over a character who represents Truth & Justice.

RFK Jr is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist and his ongoing destruction of our vaccine program must be exposed and stopped.

Last month, RFK Jr. fired the CDC’s panel of vaccine experts and replaced them with anti-vaxxers. Make no mistake: Americans will die. Ranking Members Robert Garcia and @congressmanraja.bsky.social are demanding Secretary Kennedy stop playing politics with lives at stake.
Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 9(source)
I’m a long time Superman fan, and I want to be clear: The Superman story is an immigration story of an outsider who tries to always do the most good. His arch nemesis is a billionaire. You don’t get to change who he is because you don’t like his story. Comics are political.
