Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

Congratulations to James Talarico on being our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate!

This will be a campaign for our working families of Texas. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn will bow to government corruption and the Epstein Class. Let’s keep up the fight- on to the finish line this November! #txlege

Merz says he told Trump behind closed doors that:

(a) any trade deal with the EU is either with Spain on equal terms or not at all, NATO/ defence spending being a matter to address separately;

(b) Trump’s criticism of Starmer is unjustified, the UK plays a strong E3 and defence role.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

Neighbors who live below the massive warehouses in Soccoro, Texas that DHS wants to convert into ICE detention facilities are concerned. Their quiet neighborhood in unincorporated El Paso County will now become the center of the Trump's inhumane immigration policy.
