I met Espinoza at the Northwest Detention Center. She was kidnapped from her job. She spent what should have been her wedding day in detention. She was working, contributing to our community, and is now married to a US citizen. This is who ICE is targeting. www.kuow.org/stories/she-...

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer. www.reuters.com/article/worl...

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Trump’s priorities: Bulldozing the White House ✅ Reopening the government ❌

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

Trump’s ICE has detained more than 170 U.S. citizens this year — something they have no authority to do. This is absolutely unacceptable. thehill.com/homenews/556...

We are 20 days into the Republican Shutdown — health care costs are skyrocketing and federal workers aren’t getting paid. What is Trump doing? Building his gold plated ballroom. apnews.com/article/trum...

It's no surprise that Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign is proudly saying that, if elected governor of New Jersey, Ciattarelli would support a ban on marriage equality. He's been against marriage equality for over a decade. Help defend marriage equality in New Jersey: hrc.im/virtual

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Breaking: Today is officially one of the biggest days of protest in American history. Over 7 million Americans turned out to No Kings events to stand up against MAGA fascism.

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

#IndivisiblePhiladelphia is pleased to share that Philadelphia’s Police Department reported ZERO incidents during today’s #NoKings Rally & March despite 25000+ in attendance. #GOBIRDS #IndivisblePA @indivisible.org @indivisiblepa.bsky.social

We stayed classy. #NoKings

After gutting Medicare and Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the rich, Trump and Republicans are now refusing to stop insurance premiums from skyrocketing. Meanwhile, California will make CalRx insulin available at $11 a pen starting Jan. 1st. We are not the same.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Mass layoffs from the Republican Shutdown, the cost of Trump’s reckless tariffs, a court ruling against Trump, and more. Here are your weekly 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

It’s day 17 of the Republican Shutdown, and approximately 750,000 federal workers have been furloughed and are missing paychecks. Workers and their families deserve better. Republicans must end this shutdown now.

Thousands of us took a stand today to say No Kings in America! #NoKingsSeattle

Washington state does not need or want the president to militarize our streets. Violent crime in Seattle and across Washington state is dropping.

#A_NewHope ✊

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

DAILY MEMO: ICE Rips Mom From Her Infant, Takes U.S. Citizens and Parents After School Drop-off, and Assaults Worker with a Taser 🧵 2 parts If you appreciate reporting like this, please consider becoming a member or helping our fundraiser so we can continue to bring you this vital information.

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

@sanders.senate.gov on Trump lying that the shutdown is over funding healthcare for illegal immigrants: "This is what demagogues historically have done: pick on a helpless minority. Trans people, undocumented people... You blame them for all of the problems facing society. And the rich get richer."

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history. They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

The Statue of Liberty says “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Trump has already decimated our immigration system. Cutting refugee admissions cruelly risks millions of lives. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Spot on.

Republicans refused to keep health care subsidies for millions of Americans and then shut down the government. The GOP chose chaos over coverage. This shutdown is entirely on them.

Trump’s shutdown is putting our communities at risk. Wildfire preparedness and disaster recovery are on hold because of his reckless and dangerous tactics. Republicans must end it now.

President Trump controls the White House and both chambers of Congress. It’s clear where the responsibility lies to keep the government running.

Priorities.

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Democrats are standing united, ready to fund the government and save Americans’ health care. Republicans left town, refused to negotiate, and would rather shut down the government and rip health care away from millions more Americans.

How is this sustainable?

My new executive order ensures every agency across our state is working together to defend immigrant rights. This is a difficult time for immigrant communities across the country. Washington embraces diversity and honors the contributions of all people in our state.

Today on the House Floor: Democrats are ready to pass legislation to keep the government open and protect Americans' health care. Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

House Republicans aren’t even in DC this week, and that should tell you all you need to know. They are not interested in negotiating a bipartisan deal that funds the government and protects Americans’ health care. Democrats are here and standing up for you.

Congress has just four days before the government shuts down, and Republicans are refusing to do their jobs. As Trump threatens federal workers and Republicans push chaos, the truth is, they have the majority. It's time for them to work to protect jobs and keep the gov’t funded.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

Republicans control Congress and the White House. It is on them to govern, and if they want Democratic votes, they need to come to the table. If not, Trump and Republicans the pain that the American people will feel from a government shutdown is on them.
