Direct your comments to your colleagues in the Caver Caucus. We're gonna unite behind challengers who fight for us.

Fighting united? You mean like the Senate Democrats?

And the lesson from each failure is that we need new leadership.

Why haven't you called for Chuck Schumer to step aside?

Family speaks out after death of man deported by ICE in vegetative state Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel’s family alleges negligence and inhumane treatment

ICE deported him anyways.

They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.

Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.

What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?

He died a few weeks after deportation:

Donald Trump is Dick Cheney's Legacy Stating the obvious.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Republicans Want Poor People to Suffer GOP policy on poverty is driven by sadism

There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

Opinion | I’m an air traffic controller, working without pay in my third shutdown. There is zero margin for error in our jobs. Showing up to work every day, not knowing when or if you'll be paid, is deeply unsettling.

OPINION by Jack Criss, air traffic controller:

β€œAfter my shift, I don’t go home to rest. I clock into DoorDash, trying to make ends meet for my daughter and me.”

Reminds me of my three-year-old nephew using the shank bone as a phone - also dead serious, which made it much funnier (to me; the parents, not so much).

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.
