"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota

STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (NBPA) AND ITS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE

Federal agents killing people in the streets is an assault on the right of all Americans to be safe.

Senate Democrats must reject funding for ICE this coming week and demand an end to this madness.

Doing anything else would be a tacit endorsement of the terror and chaos in our streets.

Democratic Leadership just announced that they will join @usprogressives.bsky.social in opposing funding for ICE and CBP this week. Dems in array.

Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump's Deadly Assault on Minnesota Congresswoman Jayapal, Ranking Member of the House Immigration Subcommittee, is holding a hearing in Minneapolis-Saint Paul after Trump's ICE descended on the cities with violence and killed a U.S. ci...

CPC Chair Emerita @jayapal.house.gov and Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social are in Minneapolis-St. Paul to lead an accountability hearing on the brutality and violence that Trump’s ICE is inflicting on the community. Watch here starting at 10am EST: youtube.com/live/bfVji76...

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump has no right to take us to war with Venezuela. This is reckless and illegal.

Congress should vote immediately on a War Powers Resolution to stop him.

My entire life, politicians have been sending other people’s kids to die in reckless regime change wars. Enough. No new wars.

For many people, this time of year can be challenging. Be gentle with yourself and those around you, take breaks, and be well this holiday season.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

The @usprogressives.bsky.social leadership is urging support for this critical resolution. No war with Venezuela.

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social on the CPC’s official position opposing the Senate government spending deal:

“It’s a betrayal of working people and massively fails to address the urgent needs of the American people. The Progressive Caucus stands united in opposing this sham deal.”

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Voters To Democrats: Fight! | Common Dreams ​Democrats won big by fighting against Trump’s attempts at tyranny and pledging to do everything in their power to make America affordable for everyone.

We strongly welcome @usprogressives.bsky.social’s decision to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, introduced by @ramirez.house.gov, which blocks the sale and transfer of a series of highly destructive weapons to the Israeli government: bsky.app/profile/uspr...

EXCLUSIVE: US Bill to Block Arms Sales to Israel Endorsed by Progressive Caucus The endorsement of the Block the Bombs Act by one of the largest caucuses in Congress gives a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel.

First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

Work requirements don’t create jobs. They just kick people off food + health care, saddle states with costs, and strain already fragile hospitals.

“Children are dying while 6,000 trucks with food wait a few miles away,” say CPC leaders Reps. Greg Casar, Ilhan Omar and Chuy Garcia. “We demand Trump use U.S. leverage to ensure that Israel fully restores international aid access to Gaza. It is not too late to save millions of lives.”

If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

Tax cuts for billionaires are permanent in the big Republican bill. Tax cuts on tips expire in 2028.

Congressman Gabe Evans is about to vote on whether to kick millions of Americans off health care.

He's refused to hold town halls to hear from his own constituents, so I went to his office to read the words of a person in his district who could badly suffer, or die, without Medicaid.

House Republican, Democrat move to limit Trump from entering Israel-Iran conflict "I'm introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement," said GOP Rep. Thomas Massie.

I've signed on.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has been my ideological home in Congress, and it has been a true honor to lead and grow it substantially.

I can’t wait to see our newly elected leadership — @repcasar.bsky.social, @repilhan.bsky.social, and Rep. Chuy Garcia — in action next Congress.

You're going to want to follow Greg. He's a strategic thinker and real nuts-and-bolts organizer. He's got the right values and he's serious about getting shit done - and now he's going to lead the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

This is his first post here, so let's build him some following!

Rep. Ilhan Omar re-elected deputy chair of Congressional Progressive Caucus The Minnesota Democrat said the caucus is gearing up to resist President-elect Donald Trump but thinks they should meet with him if the opportunity exists.

Excited to be reelected Deputy Chair of the Progressive Caucus.

I’m looking forward to fighting for progress and prosperity for the American people.

Let’s get to work 💪🏽

U.S. Rep. Greg Casar to lead progressive caucus, says Dems must recenter workers The second-term Democrat said his party must recenter issues that matter to working-class voters if it hopes to bounce back from the 2024 election.

“The members of the Progressive Caucus know how to fight billionaires, grifters and Republican frauds in Congress.”

Congratulations to Rep. @gregcasar.bsky.social on being elected to lead the Progressive Caucus! We look forward to continuing to work with you to resist Trump & win back our majority.
