It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."   This is a war crime.   We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K. Is this what Trump means by America First?

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

If you paid $1 In federal income taxes, you paid more than: Tesla in 2024 & 2022 AT&T in 2021 Nike in 2020 FedEx in 2020 Dish Network in 2020 Amazon in 2017-2018 Elon Musk in 2018 Jeff Bezos in 2007 & 2011 Carl Icahn in 2016-2017 Yes. It’s time to tax the rich.

Demonstrators unfurled a "Free Palestine" flag behind U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders while he discussed Gaza during his speech at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa. (Part 1/4)

Trump is literally making everyday life more expensive—from your toothpaste to your coffee. This is what y’all voted for? Higher prices on literally everything? This ain’t “America First”—it’s your wallet last.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

Trump’s tariff chaos is increasing prices for Americans, costing people their jobs, tanking retirement savings, and weakening our economy. Instead of starting a trade war and sticking you with the bill, we should invest in American workers and crack down on big corporations that ship jobs overseas.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Rep. Al Green Condemns Trump's 'Art of the Steal' Tariffs and Calls for Impeachment. Watch the clip of Rep. Al Green's floor speech by clicking here: youtu.be/xv7U3EOeBvA

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register. I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
