Joining us now is California Congresswoman Zo Lofrren. Uh, Congresswoman, can you tell us what do you make of Kla Harris's message in this moment, especially when you yourself have been so actively opposed to partisan gerrymandering for the last 20 years. >> Yes.Uh, California delegation, which I chair, favors independent redistricting. But uh when Trump weighed in, he knows he's going to lose the midterms unless he rigs the election to get these uh Republican states to do his bidding and redistrict. We dec ...

President Trump vowed during his campaign, "I will be your retribution." And 10 months into his second presidency, he's wasting no time. That retribution is now targeting two federal prosecutors who were put on leave this week by the Justice Department for requesting a stiff sentence for a January 6th rier who was pardoned by Trump. He was later arrested after turning up armed near President Obama's home in 2023.In the memo, prosecutors described him as having been among the mob of riers on January 6th, and ...

Andrew Cuomo, who ran an entire primary campaign on the premise that he was best suited to beat Donald Trump, as soon as we defeated him by 13 points, he proceeded almost immediately to get on his hands and knees to beg that same president for his help and the donors of that same president for their help. And now his closing message is to sound even more like the president than anyone else. >> Are you saying a vote for Cuomo is like a vote for Trump at this point.Yes, I am saying. ...

Who do Democrat voters want as the future of their party. We're here today in North Virginia where former President Barack Obama is campaigning for the Democratic nominee for governor, Abigail Spanberger.

They want someone with charisma. They want someone as a unifier.>> Obviously, I think the biggest ...

Joining us now, we've got Megan Hayes, former special assistant to President Biden and Mora Glasby, founder of Blue Stack Strategies and previous adviser to former House Speaker John Boehner.

I don't believe we've spoken since the last time you were uh in office.Uh I want to ask you about the other big factor, we're just talking about food and SNAP benefits, but the other thing that's stressing out already stressed out American families is open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act kicks in today for millions of recipients who are now facing the largest increase in cost since t ...

Joining us now is Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She's a member of the judiciary and oversight committees. Uh Congresswoman, I want to ask you first of all, thank you for coming on. There's rumblings of discussions uh to reopen the government. Maybe small gangs of senators are reportedly working uh to find a way out, but of course, Senate Majority Leader John Thun said he won't discuss any uh affordable care act changes until the government is open. What have you heard? And is there a possibility of ...

Joining us now, Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania, Brendan Bole. He's the ranking member on the House Budget Committee. Congressman, so two judges have now ordered the Trump administration to continue SNAP funding, but there's 42 million Americans who could still see a lapse in those benefits, and 39% of them are children.What can Democrats, what can Congress, what can Americans do, if anything, to get the administration to get these funds out faster as ordered. And what is the delay here. Well, than ...

Because let's face it, our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now. it it's hard to know where to start because every day >> this White House offers up a fresh batch of lawlessness and recklessness and mean-spiritedness and just plain craziness.

Don't boom. >> Vote.[Applause] [Music] >> They don't hear booze, they hear votes. So, we've got a president ...
