Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Charlie depends on Medicaid for therapy, equipment, and the support he needs to go to school. We heard from his mom, Nancy, who worries that Congressional Republicans’ Big Betrayal could take away Charlie’s health care. He’s why we keep fighting.

Much of the nation’s understanding of the L.A. protests has been refracted through the prism of traditional and social media reports, where scenes of violence, confrontation, and politics predominate. Not for Hispanic journalists. New from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

“'No MAGA left behind,' Ed Martin, the Justice Department’s pardon adviser, tweeted after Jenkins’s pardon. Except, there is one MAGA being left behind. And it’s driving some folks in that movement nuts." — @willsommer.bsky.social

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

@katiecouric.bsky.social on Trump: “I think what people misunderstand about narcissists is they are so empty inside…The self-aggrandizement is actually compensating for this deep unfillable hole.”

Why do we keep fighting? Because we're building the community first. The strategy comes later.

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.

Ending protections for Afghan allies who supported our mission is a betrayal of our values. We made a promise to stand by them, now we must keep it. That’s why I lead the bill to ensure we honor that commitment. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

I visited my dad’s grave today at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. He was a veteran who is buried with who he called the Heroes Among Us. A title that truly reflects the spirit of those who gave everything for our freedom.

Francisco been driving a tractor in Salinas CA for 25 years: I'm on my way to prepare the field I'm working on today. I'm passing by a field that the lettuce is ready. I prepared this block a few months ago and now it's ready to be harvested. My work feeds America. #WeFeedYou

We should be making sure all Americans have the opportunity to live their best lives, instead of making sure we shower the most generous tax cuts on people who need them least.

Memorial Day isn’t just about burgers and barbecues — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we can live free. Take a moment to remember. Then go ahead and enjoy your weekend. That’s what they fought for adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/what-memor...

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.
