Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Two years ago, the sound and fury of the Republican Revolution shook official Washington. But Congress today seems serene by comparison — no 100 day marathons or Contracts with America. Speaker Newt Gingrich is even talking about holding regular meetings with the Congressional Black Caucus.

As the 105th Congress opens, we’ll take a look today at what’s happening on Capitol Hill, especially with the 32 new Republican and 42 new Democratic members of Congress.
