Under Pam Bondi, the Justice Department worked to discredit election results, threaten states to turn over their voter rolls, bury the Epstein Files, ignore court orders, pursue baseless persecutions, and install MAGA loyalists throughout our justice system. Bye. 👋

The Executive Order on mail-in voting is unconstitutional and will be overturned. Donald Trump is, once again, engaging in voter suppression, even after he voted by mail himself in the recent Special Election in Florida.

President Trump signed a sweeping executive order that purports to change rules for mail ballots even though the president has limited authority over elections. Elections experts called the order legally questionable.

ED leaving the Lyndon B. Johnson headquarters building does not cut bureaucracy — it rearranges it. This decision reflects a broader effort to reduce the federal government’s role in ensuring people have equal access to a quality education. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The Education Department is poised to lose its longtime HQ

After making deep staffing cuts to the Education Department, the agency said nearly 70 percent of the headquarters space “is not being utilized.”

16 years ago, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. Millions gained coverage, and people with pre-existing conditions are now protected. I held a roundtable on the GOP’s Big, Ugly Bill and their refusal to extend ACA tax credits. Virginians need healthcare, not warfare.

Donald Trump is making it clear that he is the one preventing TSA from being funded, and is responsible for TSA workers being forced to work without pay.

Trump now suggests Republicans refuse “any deal” to reopen DHS unless Dems help pass SAVE America Act (never going to happen). He wants it all in one bill (also not in the cards). He tells Rs to “kill the filibuster” (they don’t have the votes; otherwise both would pass easily).
