Good to see SCOTUS uphold foreign aid, but this headline (like the dissenting justices) misses the point. It is Congress, not a judge, who is requiring payment. Court is applying the law and Constitution to prevent Trump from defying Congress!

@susielee.house.gov I saw Speaker @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's recent "Dear Colleague" letter urging Members to conduct district-wide outreach. Could you let us know where we can find info about your town hall this week? I don't see it on your website! Thanks!

The goal of our nation-leading Child Tax Credit is simple: lift kids out of poverty and get money back to working families. Last year, nearly 225,000 families claimed the Child Tax Credit and saw an average total credit of $2,500.

When so many insisted on the urgency of closing Guantanamo it was because it should never be used again for the disappearing of detainees. But here we are. And after migrants, he will try to use it for holding U.S. citizen prisoners in federal custody.

Trump has picked Fox host Pete Hegseth to be his Secretary of Defense. In 2019 Hegseth said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing.”😐 It’s official. We’ve all lived long enough to see Idiocracy transform from parody to documentary.

It’s scary how the vote for Senate Majority Leader would have been different if it wasn’t secret.

A fringe-right white-supremacist billionaire often investigated and sued for breaking the law and who has secret communications with America's most dangerous enemy is going to get tens of millions to run a huge government Department Congress cannot oversee and whose records are secret Process this

2016. 2020. 2024. Hey Republicans - you see this? This is what leaders do. This is what actual patriots do. This is what grown ups do. This is what people do who respect our Democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. Your "leader" cares nothing for these values. #PeacefulTransferOfPower

😬😬😬😬 When Putin's opponents aren't being defenestrated, they're being poisoned. We live in dangerous days for democracy. It takes courage to speak out against wickedness.

Soon to be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained on Fox that veterans who use the benefits they've earned are dependent on the government and lack "personal integrity". This is what every Vet who wore their MAGA hats to the VA hospital voted for.

Trump’s nominees are uniformly horrible but on the bright side it should also be ridiculous enough to inspire a new Bond villains thread

This is a nightmare scenario. Musk and Ramaswamy will dismantle the federal workforce - putting hundreds of thousands - many who are military veterans - out of work. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/nationa...

Does anyone else occasionally indulge in wild fantasies that some of these Ivy League educated folks aligning with Trump are just pretending and they'll flip at the right moment and save the republic? Lol I know I know.

JACK SMITH TO RESIGN If history is honest, it won’t be kind to Merrick Garland. No one can honestly say “no one is above the law” with a straight face ever again. If you can’t use the full force and power of your agency to bring Trump to justice, at least cut the bs! Trump got away w/everything.
