BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for replacing Dept. of Education employees’ “out-of-office” emails with partisan political messages during the federal shutdown. This use of official resources is both unprecedented and a violation of the First Amendment.

I've launched an investigation into the contracting and approval process for the demolition of the White House—and whether the corporate donors funding Trump's ballroom are seeking favors with the Administration. The American public deserves answers. msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tru…
