OPINION: Instead of becoming a religious adjunct to the Republican Party, white evangelical Christians transformed the party from a small-government, deficit-minded party to one controlled by far-right religious interests.

BREAKING: Trump illegally invokes the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants “deemed” to be members of a criminal gang, claiming extreme powers to do so without due process. Courts should reject this abusive invocation of a law intended for wartime.

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

I am asking some of you to stop lying to yourselves about how "powerless" the Democrats in DC are. Please stop. Most of these people have been Congress for over a generation. They KNOW what's possible to do both in DC and in their own districts. They are "colleagues" with McConnell. They know.

People are suffering and dying in ICE detention centers right here in our state. New Mexico counties are being used as pawns to funnel taxpayer money into a system built on cruelty and neglect. HB 9, the Immigrant Safety Act, would stop our state from helping ICE expand its detention machine.

We’ve received too many reports about GOP voicemails being full for this to be a coincidence. If your Republican representative is avoiding you, show up to one of their local offices. You can also send an email to make it clear you don’t want to pay the price for the GOP’s billionaire tax breaks.
