On John Fetterman's wedding anniversary he met with Steve Bannon. I'm sure we all get why. The guy is and has been on the take. He's worse than Manchin. He's openly flipping off the people who donated to his campaign. When you pull that kind of shit, you should have to return the money.

The "Save America Act" is voter suppression dressed up as patriotism. It targets naturalized citizens, trans Americans, tribal citizens, and natural disaster victims with extra barriers. Don't let the name fool you.

I admit, there aren't enough hours in the day to follow EVERY corrupt move made by Trump!
Still, you'd think he would be aware of the biggies.

ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

To give the Republican Governors their due, have to give them credit for backing out of their meeting with Trump after he refused to invite Democrats. Could the tide be turning even a tiny bit?

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
