Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The party that calls itself pro-life is counting down the hours until money to feed children runs out while accepting billionaire β€œdonations” for demolition of the East Wing construction of … a ballroom. New Jersey: Do the right thing. Vote for Mikie Sherrill

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

The White House is the Big Top and the ringleader is a bumbling, bloviating bigot. There is no reason you could give me that would excuse a vote to subject my children to Jim Crow America. Racism is a crippling, corrosive, and corrupting disease. God help this lost nation #FuckMAGA

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Monday’s meeting at the White House is not a β€œgood first step.” Do not negotiate with bullies holding our democracy hostage. They do not act in good faith. This is their mess. Let them clean it up #HoldTheLine #StandUp #ActBlue

2028? Here in NJ (and over in VA) we need to elect blue governors this year first. And then this whole nation needs to get through midterms. Let’s see where things stand after all that before we start getting in a lather about 2028 primaries

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."
