Bombing boats, when you don't know who or what is on board without stopping to check, and then order the survivors, holding on to the wreckage, killed is murder. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlue2026

We need every representativeโ€”Republican or Democratโ€”who says they support working people to vote for the Protect Americaโ€™s Workforce Act.

Tell Congress: restore federal workersโ€™ union rights now! https://act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns/pass-pawa-house/

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S. Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

Heโ€™s been taken by ICE in Florida.

What Megyn Kelly said about 15 y/o girls should disgust you with the clear conclusion to her employment left obvious.

You will lose listeners.

Shame on @siriusXM if this disgusting horrible carbon-unit of a human being remains under their employ.

Iโ€™m interested in hearing from the MAGA pastors about Trumpโ€™s statement tonight that he wants to refuse to release emergency funds set aside to feed the poor despite a court order because the govt needs to โ€œremain liquidโ€ in case he needs that money to fight a war.

Trump isnโ€™t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trumpโ€™s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

It takes 51 senators to steamroll the filibuster and end the shutdown. That's it. There are 53 republicans in the senate.

Anyone blaming the democrats for this is lying.
