New: for the first time ever, senate democrats have published their caucus rules. https://www.democrats.senate.gov/rules-for-the-democratic-conference

We at Demand Progress had asked them to do so. Now all party rules in the Senate and House are publicly for the first time ever.

These rules are incredibly important because they are how the party exercised power.

In his first three years as president Trump paid $1.1 million in federal income taxes before paying $0 in 2020.

Newly released data shows a gain in income of $22 million in 2018 largely from the sale of properties or investments - most core businesses had losses every year.
