Congress must write the rules for America when it comes to AI. Trump wants to let AI’s billionaire CEOs police themselves and write their own rules. That’s a dangerous proposition for America even if it profits Trump.
As Democrats, we will work to reverse Trump's ruinous tariffs that have cost American families on average $2500 a year. If Republicans are serious about making life more affordable, they'll work with us to reverse the mess they got us into.
On Election Day, Americans told us they wanted accountability for a corrupt administration AND affordability for a ripped-off public. These two goals are intertwined and they stand best when they stand together.
We aren’t wasting a minute in getting started.

SAVE YOUR SCREENSHOTS!
Has a Trump Admin official shaken down your company via Signal? Have your bosses asked you to purge records of corrupt deals with the Administration?
Be a patriot: SAVE the evidence and BLOW THE WHISTLE to the House Judiciary Committee.
Whistleblowers tell Democrats documents linked to Trump’s construction projects are being destroyed
New reporting from @SunlenSerfaty @AnnieGrayerCNN cnn.com/2026/11/10/politics/…
This is what the law calls “evidence of a guilty conscience.” It’s also an attempt at destruction of evidence but everyone already has it for all time.
.@realDonaldTrump after years of a submissive, invertebrate and constitutionally illiterate Republican Congress, it’s obvious you need a few reminders:
1. Members of Congress have a constitutional right and duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. This is not a crime.
2. Democrats do not idly threaten people with impeachment nor do we take this constitutional power lightly. We impeach federal officials who commit high crimes and misdemeanors when we consider it the most effective constitutional tool to deal with a serious and continuing danger to the Republic and the people.
3. It is not a crime for someone to exercise their First Amendment rights to call for impeachment of a federal official. For all of your incessant and compulsive talk about the Democrats’ alleged obsessive focus on impeachment, the impeachment resolution pending in the House next week comes from a constitutionally-minded member of the Republican Party. And it is Rep. Thomas Massie’s absolute free speech right, and his Speech or Debate clause right to boot, to call for impeachment and trial of Secretary Pete Hegseth for his alleged war crimes and many other constitutional violations.
4. Unlike President Trump, Democrats defend the political free speech rights of all Americans and the right of all Americans to freely associate with the political party of their choice.
5. You have repeatedly demanded, and ordered, throughout your second term the criminal prosecution and imprisonment of American citizens whose political speech and activities you disfavor. You and your Attorney Generals have been humiliated when your handpicked political prosecutions have been rejected by grand juries and judges.
6. The best way for any president to avoid impeachment, conviction, removal and disqualification is to enforce the law, respect the law and not commit felonies and high crimes and misdemeanors.
Thank you for your attention, Sir!
Congress has the power to conduct traditional — even aggressive — oversight and threaten impeachment. Trump is ordering the Justice Department to criminally probe lawmakers for doing. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…
America just repudiated the Trump Administration’s violent lawlessness and rampant corruption on Tuesday night. The people clearly want to restore our wounded body politic to health, but Donald Trump’s staff infection just got infinitely worse.
Hiring Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff guarantees more violent paramilitary tactics in American communities, more bloody forever wars, more trillions added to the national debt, more idiotic tariffs, more inflation and more corruption.
How’s that for a presidential olive branch after running a nasty campaign of lies and threats and then losing in an historic landslide wipeout?
As America’s new Congress gets ready to launch real oversight over this lawless president and the entire executive branch and all of the corruption flowing through and around them, we offer this word of advice to the wise in both the government and private sectors: don't start shredding documents, deleting emails or engaging in any other kind of obstruction of justice or destruction of evidence.
It will make matters a lot worse for you in Congress and in the courts.

For anyone who has worked with MAGA and Trump to obtain no-bid government contracts, presidential pardons, special tariff exemptions, and other regulatory and policy favors, don’t compound your problems by trying to cover it up. You may call it a "revised document retention policy”; we just call it obstruction and evidence tampering. So does the U.S. Criminal Code.
The vast majority of Americans, in the cities and the countryside, the suburbs and the exurbs, delivered a massive and unmistakable repudiation of the Trump Administration's lawlessness and corruption on Tuesday night. Today, some of the people who enabled some of his most dangerous abuses of power and illegal conduct at the Justice Department are running scared—and resigning.
Harmeet Dhillon turned the storied Civil Rights Division sharply against the American people, attacking the constitutional rights she was supposed to defend. She pushed out experienced civil rights attorneys and nonpartisan professionals so she could pursue the president's personal vendettas and petty grievances, launching baseless investigations aimed at intimidating and harassing universities, community colleges and medical schools; state and local governments that the President disliked; and anyone who dared to exercise their First Amendment rights in a way the president disapproved of. She doggedly pursued Trump’s paranoid and hallucinatory voter fraud fantasies.
Let Dhillon and every official in this Administration be on notice: resignation does not excuse you in any way from your legal duty to answer for your conduct before Congress and the American people we represent. Preserve all your records, destroy none of them and prepare to testify truthfully under oath.
BREAKING:
Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Justice Department, has resigned, per Fox News.
ALT Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, speaks into a microphone at a Justice Department podium, wearing a navy blazer and a pearl necklace, with the Justice Department seal and a blue flag behind her.
It's time to restore the rule of law in America and end all the presidential lawlessness. Trump’s DOJ is responsible for:
-Covering up the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by DHS agents
-Trying to indict and prosecute dozens of innocent Americans to cover up for Trump’s own massive crimes and policy debacles
-Granting the Trump family a SUPER pardon while trying to set up a $1.776 billion slush fund for violent insurrectionists and partisan foot soldiers
Accountability is coming.
It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
While Trump and his cronies pocket billions of dollars, American families are paying the price for all the corruption.
From dragging Americans into an illegal war that has cost us billions at the gas and diesel pump to destroying small businesses and taxing our families thousands of dollars a year with illegal tariffs, Americans have been paying through the nose while Trump’s family and businesses rake in billions.
America has overwhelmingly elected a Congress to stand up for the interests and values of the American people, not kneel before a mad wannabe king, his oligarch puppeteers and Putin’s imperialist army.
America has spoken.
Now it’s time to get to work putting the American people and the Constitution back at the heart of our government.
House Judiciary Democrats are prepared to put an end to the rampant and out-of-control corruption overflowing the Trump swamp.
Through investigations and legislation we will work to expose, counter and dismantle the grift and the graft, the ongoing corruption of government and the outrageous destruction of the rule of law.
We will be unflinching in our defense of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

🚨WIN: After pressure from House Judiciary Dems, a THIRD data center company commits to stop gagging public officials.
A few weeks ago, Judiciary Dems launched an investigation into shady secret agreements-NDAs-which are blocking public officials from discussing data center projects with their own constituents. In response, @Google, @Amazon, and now @Oracle have all committed to ending these corrupt and clandestine NDAs.
An important step toward giving people, not data center companies, control over their government and their communities.
RM @RepRaskin launched an investigation into Amazon, Google, Meta and Oracle over their use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to prevent local officials from discussing data center projects with constituents.
Trump treats anyone who tells the truth about him as his “enemy.”
Take, for example, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked for Trump and his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. At 25, she bravely told the truth about Trump’s unhinged and dangerous conduct surrounding the violent mob insurrection he incited on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump's corrupted Department of Justice just tried--and failed--to criminally indict her for going under oath and telling the truth about what he did. Just as Trump is using his office for revenge and reprisal, we stand with Hutchinson and all whistleblowers and truth-tellers.
Billionaires and Big Tech have poured $2.7 billion and counting into Republican midterm campaigns, with Elon Musk breaking a new record as the largest political donor in American history.
This is what happens when the Administration puts pardons, regulatory changes, tax cuts and public policy up for auction to MAGA-world. Democrats in Congress will investigate and uncover all the corrupt deals under the surface.

.@Jezebel on our new Epstein-Trump report: “But it turns out the Democrats were still collecting evidence and they just dropped a new 50-page report in which new accusations emerge of Trump of participating in Epstein’s sexual crimes. The report also alleges that his administration worked to cover it up.”
