You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

Whether it’s Detroit or the Keweenaw, I’ve been to all 83 counties—and what I hear is the same: folks want a government that works for them. That’s what I’m fighting for. #StandTall

What an amazing day this mundane Thursday turned out to be. My TPS report will have to wait.

Looooool, get on the bus this morning to take us from the hotel to the Ford Museum and all the driver and convention assistant can talk about is the meltdown yesterday. This thing has legs, and if the Dems are smart, they’ll hammer it incessantly.

You ought to be able to relax in your backyard hot tub without worrying about the government unlawfully recording you. That's why we're suing Sonoma County over code enforcement's unlawful runaway drone spying program. Learn more:👇

The breakup we’ve all been waiting for is finally happening…… 🍿🍿🍿

Can we try matriarchy now?

This travel ban is personal to me. If it had existed when my parents immigrated from Iran, I wouldn't be here today. My constituents and I know firsthand what it feels like when our families are torn apart by xenophobic and cruel bans. We will fight this with everything we have.

Right now, Trump’s Tax Scam is being rewritten by Senate Republicans before heading back to the House for a second vote. Every change to the bill (and every day they take) makes it that much harder to pass both chambers. This is why we’re focused on delaying the GOP’s process as much as possible.

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

Whenever we pray for someone, Jesus’ presence is immediately revealed to us. Of course his presence is always with us, but prayer for others reveals it to us.

On this World Environment Day, let’s remember that to have the healthy, prosperous communities we want, we must protect and restore our environment.

The Trump administration is scrambling to clean up Elon Musk and DOGE’s mess. We've been doing that in court since Day 1. If you are a current or former federal employee in need of support - we’ve got your back. Know your rights, access free legal support, and more at civilservicestrong.org.

Y'ALL 🥹🥹🥹 Fizzy finished her radiation treatments today and the vet sent us this

It's happening after 2 months! @unite4vets.bsky.social this Friday at 2 PM on the National Mall we will be bringing thousands of veterans, supporters, and allies to demand our government honor the promises they made to us! @dropkickmurphys.com will be playing and I'll be one of our speakers!

he may have condemned thousands if not millions to death but you have to admit he produced a truly stupid car and is obsessed with moving to a planet where nobody hates him

Harvey Milk was a selfless patriot, devoting his life to serving his country and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. He’s earned his recognition in our history books and on this Naval ship. Removing his name during Pride Month is wrong, but we won’t let it erase his legacy.

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest. Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption. I'm determined to get answers.

The GOP hid a reckless provision to shield Trump officials from contempt of court in their Medicaid-slashing megabill. We must get Republican senators on the record about that sneak-attack on democracy — and push Democrats to disrupt the GOP’s anti-democracy agenda with every tool at their disposal.

Hundreds of people in Minneapolis, MN gathered to push back on militarized police activity involving ICE and Homeland Security agents. When the community members demanded that law enforcement leave the area, they were shot with rubber bullets and pepper spray, and three were taken into custody.

“I saw an iridescent biosphere teeming w/life..I didn’t see the economy. But since our human..systems treat everything, including the very life-support systems of our planet, as the wholly owned subsidiary of the global economy, it’s obvious from the vantage point of space that we’re living a lie.”

The federal government told states to turn over names, birthdates, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data about food assistance recipients. Amid a legal challenge, the agency says the request is on hold.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

Financial markets welcomed a U.S. court ruling that blocks President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.

"In the United States, racism has always gone hand in hand with the concentration of wealth among the very richest people." - Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social No one uses current event details and historical facts to indict Trump better Richardson. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

This is incredibly heartbreaking. Another example of what women have to deal with when seeking medical care. When we aren’t listened to or taken seriously when we know that something is wrong. When the arrogance of doctors is pitted against those who know their bodies… people.com/professional...

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver "Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."
