The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

The Trump Administration’s decision to rescind this guidance, which helps save pregnant women’s lives, will only deny women of critical health care and put their lives at needless risk. We will continue to fight to protect essential health care. apnews.com/article/abor...

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

We must pass our NO BAN Act to make clear that neither racism nor religious intolerance are acceptable barriers to lawful immigration. Our immigration system should not be hijacked by hatred and racism, and our bill would stop this from happening. youtube.com/shorts/58n4k...

16 million Americans losing health coverage. The biggest cut to Medicaid in history. Higher health, energy, and housing costs. Tax cuts for billionaires, tax hikes for working people. $3 trillion added to the national debt. The Republican bill is a “disgusting abomination.”

From his first Muslim Ban, Trump’s travel bans have always betrayed of the ideals and values that inspired America’s Founders. Trump’s use of prejudice and bigotry to bar people from entering the U.S. does not make us safer, it just divides us and weakens our global leadership.

NEW FROM CBO: 16 MILLION people will lose their health care because of House Republicans. That’s the equivalent of stripping the entire populations of Pennsylvania and Mississippi of their health care. Just because Republicans aren't reading their own bill, doesn't mean we aren't. 🧵

CBO now estimates that combination of Trump's budget bill + other parts of the GOP health agenda (e.g. allowing enhanced ACA tax credits to expire as scheduled) will increase # of uninsured people by 16 million. This is a backdoor Obamacare repeal by any other name www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Honored to join this roundtable on why hardworking Virginia families can’t afford to lose the Medicaid coverage that millions rely on. The Senate must vote down this harmful budget that will cut Medicaid funding. Grateful to SEIU Virginia for bringing our voices together!

After forcing a rushed vote through, House Republicans passed the largest ever transfer of wealth from working Americans to the rich in a single law. This disastrous bill now goes to the Senate, and my colleagues and I will keep fighting it in every way we can. Here’s why:

If you’re investing in home upgrades or buying a car, you’re eligible for tax credits to help you cover the costs. But Republicans want to take these benefits away so they can give more tax cuts to the rich. youtube.com/shorts/I3b8P...

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2007. Americans are barely getting by, yet Republicans keep pushing tax breaks for billionaires instead of trying to raise wages to help those living paycheck to paycheck.

After House Republicans voted to cut taxes on the wealthy, the President is back to threatening arbitrary tax hikes on American consumers. His incoherent and childish approach to trade will soon have us paying higher tariffs on goods from our closest partners than on China.

I am horrified by the act of terror that targeted the @ajcglobal.bsky.social event at the Capital Jewish Museum and claimed two innocent lives. Our community mourns Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. Antisemitism and political violence have no place in our society.
