EL PASO โ€” a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didnโ€™t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

This is real life, yโ€™all.

These arenโ€™t โ€œdemocratic talking pointsโ€โ€”this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per dayโ€ฆ you canโ€™t.

DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of congresswoman Alina Habba strikes again.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver

"Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."

When I feel overwhelmed I remind myself I can't fix it all. Thatโ€™s not why I fight.

The worldโ€™s unfair, act right anyway.
Justice cracks, speak up anyway.
Progress stalls, build anyway.

Stay true to who you are.
You may not see the top of the mountain,
but you sure as hell can carve the trail.

Trump HHS Eliminates Office That Sets Poverty Levels Tied to Benefits for at Least 80 Million People - KFF Health News Recent cuts eliminated a small, specialized workforce that sets the poverty standards determining who is eligible for Medicaid as well as assistance with food, home heating, child care, and more.

Trumpโ€™s firings at the HHS included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services.

This is cruel.

Don't get it twisted: Donald Trump and the Republicans are cutting vital programs that millions of Americans depend on like Medicaid and supplemental nutrition assistanceย to give billionaires and the biggest corporations in the world a massive tax break.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.

You know who CAN investigate this?

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

Hakeem Jeffries
Democratic Leader
April 8, 2025
Dear Speaker Johnson:
I write to request a one-on-one debate, formally known as a colloquy, on the House Floor tomorrow with respect to the Republican Budget Resolution.
Over the weekend, the Senate passed a Budget Resolution that would cut Medicaid, food assistance and veterans benefits in order to provide a $7 trillion tax break that would primarily benefit wealthy billionaires like Elon Musk. Republican Members of Congress have repeatedly denied that painful cuts will be made. However, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that based on the text of the budget proposal there is nowhere else for cuts of such magnitude to come from other than areas like the critical healthcare programs relied upon by everyday Americans to survive.
The American people deserve to know the truth. I look forward to a one-on-one debate with you on the House Floor to fully and transparently explain and defend our differing budget values to the American people.
Sincerely,
Hakeem Jeffries
Democratic Leader

BREAKING: Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just threw DOWN the gauntletโ€”challenging Trumpโ€™s little Johnson to a one-on-one debate TOMORROW on the GOPโ€™s extremist budget.

Letโ€™s see if MAGAโ€™s puppet has the guts to defend cuts to seniors, vets, & working families.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verรกstegui, have now given Nazi salutes.

This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Republicans want to kill your grandparents.
