Disgusting. Horrendous. Happening to our neighbors in the dead of night.

The National Guard may be deployed in Los Angeles tonight.

Not for an earthquake.

Not for wildfires.

But to silence protests against ICE raids.

This is a humanitarian crisis.

And peaceful protest is not a crime.
It is a cry for dignity.

A demand for justice.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Trump administration sues Maine over participation of transgender athletes in girls sports The Trump administration is suing Maine’s education department for not complying with its push to ban transgender athletes in girls and women's sports.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills:

"This matter has never been about school sports or the protection of women and girls, as has been claimed, it's about states rights and defending the rule of law against a federal government bent on imposing its will, instead of upholding the law"

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

When Stephen Miller is running immigration policy, Don Bongino is operating FBI surveillance, Pete Hegseth is deciding who to bomb, and Laura Loomer is firing top national security aides, you don’t have an administration. You have an asylum.

The ruling comes after Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who lost the race, challenged the eligibility of tens of thousands of 2024 voters. Those voters will now have 15 days to verify their eligibility, potentially changing the outcome of the election.

I am so touched by the thousands of Americans who have reached out to my office thanking me for standing up to Trump and his tariffsβ€”and winning.

I want to thank all of YOU for your continued advocacy to make that win possible. Together, we are strong.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate historyβ€”a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Statement reading: While the government will remain open, we are frustrated that this funding bill gives a blank check to Donald Trump and Elon Musk to continue attacking the federal workforce and dismantling the services Virginians rely on. This bill lacks the meaningful proposals we offered as amendments to rein in and defund DOGE and protect our veterans from being indiscriminately fired – because Republicans blocked them all. As Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue to seek giant tax cuts for billionaires while laying off workers, slashing services, and tanking our economy, we will keep standing up for everyday Virginians, who have had enough of this chaos and lawlessness. That means we are already gearing up for our next fight: forcing a Senate vote on our legislation to challenge Trump’s senseless trade war with Canada, which will only raise costs for Virginians.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.

Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.
