This is outrageous. Republicans are blocking every single Democratic amendment that would make the voucher bill even slightly less devastating for our public schools. This is straight out of Project 2025 — an authoritarian takeover of our state is happening before our eyes. #txlege

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

The Women’s Bureau has been doing the work for over a century — the only agency focused on women in the workforce. And now somebody thinks it’s time to gut it? Absolutely not. I joined 50 of my colleagues in urging the Department of Labor to stand with women workers and protect it.

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

Illinois is and forever will be a beacon of progress and equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the nation. We know that people are hurting right now and looking for answers. That's why I spent the afternoon hearing from folks on what we can do to support them right now.

Donald Trump's admin will stop at nothing to restrict access to health insurance. Their newest effort makes it harder to enroll through state marketplaces and limits options. That's why I'm leading my fellow governors in demanding Dir. Nelson withdraw the proposed rule.

UPDATE: Mahdawi was able to meet with a member of his legal team who said he’s doing as okay as he can be. Atty Luna Droubi said they’ve confirmed U.S. Atty of VT received TRO, so if ICE moves him they’ll do so knowing the court’s order. Mahdawi and legal team are relieved he’s being held in VT

As someone who knows how to read, I can tell you with certainty the Supreme Court did not say that. The White House admitted it was an "administrative error" to deport Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court called on the government to facilitate his return.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
