This is horrible. 13 dead with 20 still missing as of the last I heard. Prayers to our hill country neighbors

Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer utilize its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people.

When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time.

But this is the party of “family values,” right?

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Officially Announces Candidacy for Ranking Member of House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett officially announced that she is running to serve as Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Pending #CriticalMinerals trade deals are likely to accelerate dirty, exploitative models of resource extraction if negotiated in the shadows.

Let's work together for a just & sustainable clean energy transition.

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Union members submit a jaw-dropping 320,000 signatures — more than double the required amount — to put a referendum on the ballot against the legislature’s bill banning public employee unions from collective bargaining.

But no one is declaring victory yet: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol

🚨 ALERT: Stop HB 5580 – Say NO to Turning Texas Counties Into ICE Enforcement Zones
HB 5580 is scheduled for a hearing Monday at 10 AM in the Subcommittee on County & Regional Government—and it’s one of the most dangerous anti-immigrant bills we’ve seen.

People's Town Hall in F'burg was a monster success! Standing room only, 325+ attendees. Happy to meet/see TX Reps Gene Wu and Vikki Goodwin, new @texasdemocrats.bsky.social Party Chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social, super pleased to meet Joaquin Castro

Sanders: We’re here in so-called conservative Utah, and tomorrow we’ll be in Idaho—because we believe that in every state in this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight back

Democrats, Stop Being Timid and Start Being Mean! Democratic messaging is failing to meet the moment. It’s time for the party to embrace the anger and rage of its base.

Stop being nice, fellow Democrats! Republicans are criminal psychopaths and we could at least give them a good tongue lashing. What is this with playing nice? It’s like taking a knife to a gun fight.

Congratulations to our new TDP Chair, Kendall Scudder!

TXPC in Austin TX for the SDEC meeting to elect the new TDP Chair!
