It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Early this morning, House Republicans jammed through a bill to rip health care away from at least 13.7 million Americans. All to give massive tax cuts to billionaires.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

The Trump and House Republican budget bill is a disaster for working Americans. We need just 4 votes in the Senate to stop it. We must protect the essential programs that American families rely on.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

The horrendous bill that the House just passed 215-214 had better be subject to filibuster in the Senate. If Senators override their parliamentarian on this one, the harm will be incalculable both to all but the very rich and to the essential power of federal courts to enforce their judgments.

Violence has no place in our communities. Last night’s murders are a sad reminder of the threat antisemitism poses — no one should be targeted for their faith, ethnicity, or beliefs. I condemn this in the strongest way possible.

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Today, Trump "hosted" the President of South Africa and attempted to confront him with false claims of "white genocide" in his country whilst also openly hinting that he would be open to a bribe from South Africa, in case you're wondering why I don't give a fuck about Jake Tapper's book.

Republicans just made their big bad billionaire tax bill worse. They just added a provision that pressures health exchange plans to drop most abortion services—EVEN if federal funds aren’t used to pay for them. Millions of women will lose access to basic health care if the GOP gets their way.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.
