Trump and Republicans have destroyed our federal agencies — furloughing and firing thousands of workers. And now, instead of governing, they’re threatening to shut the government down. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table and negotiate to keep the gov’t open.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has once again been torn away from his family & moved to Moshannon––the same facility I was denied from while attempting an oversight visit after allegations of abuse & inhumane conditions. Kilmar and everyone held at Moshannon deserve dignity & justice.

We are witnessing the rise of two very separate and distinct Americas: One for the billionaire class. One for everybody else. Our country is not supposed to be run by a handful of wealthy oligarchs while a majority of people struggle to afford the basic necessities. youtu.be/3I_f1DkMddU?...

Our health care system was already in crisis before Republicans came in and slashed a trillion dollars. Here’s the truth: our system can't absorb these cuts and keep providing health care to everyone who needs it. Any budget we pass must restore health care.

I’m headed back to D.C. We’re just over 36 hours from a government shutdown, and the House GOP is nowhere to be seen. As in—literally not headed to work. From canceling votes, to refusing to negotiate, to threats of mass firings—here’s how the GOP is pushing towards a shutdown and what it means.

Trump said he would cut drug costs “by 1500%.” Really? Since he took office, 688 prescription drugs have become MORE expensive. The legislation I wrote is simple: the U.S. must not pay more for prescription drugs than other countries. Let’s pass it.

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

TRUTH HURTS

I get asked all the time, “Does my voice even matter? Does calling my members of Congress even do anything?” YES! Your calls are the reason why the public lands sale was taken out of the big, ugly bill. So keep calling, speaking up, and using your voice!

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

Portland not backing down.

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Just sayin’!

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union were investigated for scamming consumers, but now they’re thanking Donald Trump for letting them off the hook. Instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is standing in the way of cheated Americans getting their money back.

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

Police Chief of Broadview, IL says he was verbally attacked by ICE Agent. Mayor criticizes ICE - ABC 7 Chicago - Sept 26, 2025

The US government is facing a crisis of legitimacy | Daniel Mendiola

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.   Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations. We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

AOC: "If the Government shuts down, they are going to act like it wasn't their decision; it is their decision."

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

I have assumed this for some time, but we are seeing it play out in real time.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

Americans know our economy is rigged. Billionaires become richer while working people can’t afford health care, housing & food.   If Trump wants my vote to fund the government, he must not raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million people or throw millions off health care.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Happy #NationalPublicLandsDay, New Mexico! Today, all National Parks are FREE!  Today, we honor the lands and waters that sustain us. Public lands are more than just beautiful places—they’re where we connect with nature and with each other, with our culture, language, history, and belonging.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Republicans are throwing 15 million people off of their health insurance and raising premiums by as much as 75% for people who get care from the ACA.   Is that making America healthy again?

From grassroots petitions to high-level negotiations, the tireless work of women’s health advocates made mifepristone a reality in the United States—and a lifeline for millions.
