Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying. Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free. So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

Ryan Peterman who is running for Secretary of State in Iowa will be in my area (Oskaloosa, IA) on Sunday. If you’re in the area, click the link below to RSVP. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/ryan-...

Well, well, well. Our former allies are not going to bow down to Trump. They are divesting from the U.S. wherever and however they can. UK bank bosses plan to set up Visa and Mastercard alternative amid Trump fears www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I’m working with my team to keep track of the security situation in parts of Mexico.

TEXANS PLEASE VOTE FOR JASMINE CROCKETT!!!! DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! James Talarico: He wears HIS religion on his sleeve His grandfather, a Baptist Preacher TALARICO RECEIVED HIS "MASTER OF DIVINITY" AT AUSTIN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY!!! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS MANDATORY!! 💯💯💯

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

The Trump administration is a nothing more than a criminal enterprise hiding behind the presidential seal. It only takes 23 Republicans to end all of this, but apparently no one in their party has the balls to save this country from these gangsters.

Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Interesting take on how women from this regime will ultimately be the ones who take the fall. Set up to do so, if you will. Take a listen!👇🏼 #pinks

Oh look, it’s someone who reexamined what the politics looked like and what his role was going to be.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Politics Hijacked Faith: #SaveAct Get your passports now! A PSA to all 🇺🇸 ♀️.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations. But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips. No compromise.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

ICYMI - Dems flipped a seat in Tarrant County and Republicans called an emergency meeting. Trump carried the district by 17 points in 2024, so if Texas Republicans are in panic mode there, the entire state is in play.

We the People must start demanding the removal of the Donald Trump/Jeffrey Epstein Administration and the entire MAGA Congress, without exception, House and Senate. MAGA Trump and his MAGA Supreme Court and his MAGA Congress are stealing the people's money and destroying America in broad daylight.

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028. And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

To all the people angry that teenagers are protesting ICE during school hours: If they can practice active shooter drills and learn how to tourniquet their classmates, they’re entitled to an opinion on how they’re treated.

I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can to deliver results. I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody, but will bow down to nobody — and I guess the President doesn’t like that.

UPDATE - Trump nominee Jeremy Carl finally gets a hearing next week in Senate Foreign Relations Committee… another White Nationalist, anti-Semitic, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynist — who has deleted thousands of tweets. @SenatorHagerty is on the committee. Will he back him?

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

East San Antonio, TX "This warehouse will traffic some of the most disreputable commercial activity since WWII," the County Commissioner said in a statement... www.wfaa.com/article/news...

Excellent news.

These are the people - and the system - separating Americans from affordable #healthcare. I hope the fact that Congress is having this hearing indicates that changes are afoot to right this wrong.

A UAE royal sent $187 million to the trump crypto business the night before he took office They’ve raked in $5 billion from it Nothing to see here, folks

Alarmed yet?

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

Lawyer: I've been representing a mother and her 5 children. The two youngest children have lived 20% of their lives in that facility. We've had awful reports of mental health deterioration. This facility is a jail. It's unconscionable that there are children at this facility.
