Sixty days. That’s how long California taxpayers have been waiting for an answer to a simple question: how did one well-connected nonprofit land a multimillion-dollar state diaper contract?

The audacity is remarkable. And the voting record makes it impossible to hide. One year ago, every single Democrat in Congress voted against the Working Families Tax Cuts. Not most.

The Supreme Court has delivered a significant blow to one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent second-term initiatives, ruling against his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship.

Representative Ayanna Pressley said that not one promise has been kept to Black Americans, that the country’s prosperity was built on 400 years of unpaid labor, and that the debt symbolized by “40 acres and a mule” was never paid.

A member of Congress earns $174,000 a year. That is a good living, well above what most Americans take home, and nowhere near enough to explain how so many of them leave office with net worths measured in the millions. The gap between the paycheck and the portfolio is the story, and it is long …
The image is built to make you feel something before you’ve had a second to think.

It is …

John Fetterman has never been a perfect fit for the modern Democratic Party.
