Ashley Hinson is hanging with billionaires and begging for campaign cash as service members are forced to go to food banks because they’re not receiving paychecks during the government shutdown. This is not acceptable. Iowans, and Americans, deserve better.

This has been bothering me for months now, since the Trump Administration keeps abusing it, like everything else. Let’s open dialogue: “Antifa”, Anti-fascism- Opposition to fascist ideologies, groups & individuals. Anti-fascism is a political movement that opposes fascist ideology, groups & leaders.

Former President Joe Biden is receiving radiation and hormone therapy as part of a new phase of treating the aggressive form of prostate cancer he was diagnosed with after leaving office, a spokesperson said Saturday.

"The recent release of a number of unjustly detained immigrants shows there’s power in resistance and speaking out for our neighbors," writes @tusk81.bsky.social. These victories send a message that the administration cannot arbitrarily detain individuals protected from deportation by law.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

America's National Guard protects communities. ICE preys on them. They are NOT the same. Please spread the word.

The president has made no secret of his enemies list. But we will not be intimidated. We will not be deterred. We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

“She’s a low IQ individual.” — Trump vents Dem grievances to PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦

On Thursday, eight Democratic senators introduced a bill that would prevent the Treasury Department from rescuing Argentina’s economy. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said, “It is inexplicable that President Trump is propping up a foreign government, while he shuts down our own.”

Grab the popcorn.

Today Trump visited Walter Reed and underwent another single-pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) procedure for his failing liver. Decades-long cocaine abuse ✓ Decades-long Adderall abuse ✓

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

I FINALLY figured out what Pam Bondi's PETULANT behavior at her hearing reminded me of: Veruca Salt!

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers. But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

To celebrate Banned Books Week, we honor as MD-08 Local Heroes two amazing independent bookstores in Montgomery County—Wonderland Books in Bethesda and People’s Book in Takoma Park, which have created sanctuaries for books, writers, ideas, resistance and community.

Current Taiwan wargames may be preparing for the wrong war.

Release the Epstein Files.

Not the Onion. I wonder what will happen when ICE kidnaps all the Qatari soldiers for being brown people in Idaho www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/10/...

I’m talking to Democrats and Republicans in the Senate every day, but the House is critical to solving this shutdown too. Mike Johnson needs to get House Republicans back to Washington so we can actually work together to stop health care costs from rising dramatically.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.

As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Even when elected officials are on the scene, ICE acts inappropriately. We can only imagine how they act behind closed doors. That’s why we’re at Broadview ICE facility. Accountability—now.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

Extreme Republicans are keeping the government shut down while military families like Samantha's are paying the price.  Stop the political games, Speaker Johnson. Lives are at risk.

www.propublica.org/article/elon... I guess we’re crossing Vegas off our vacation lists. I’m not coming home with cancers, or maybe not coming home at all? Yikes

A search is underway for missing people after a powerful explosion ripped through an explosives manufacturing plant in rural Tennessee.

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility. It’s clearer than ever before. What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

"After a few moments of laughter..." The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

This is true:

He only wants it because President Obama has one, and it’s the only thing he can’t undo or destroy. It eats him alive thinking about it.
