61 million voters are NOT registered! Let's get as many as we can to register.

Kamala Harris only needed 44,000 votes across 3 key states to secure the electoral votes to win.

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

TY for interviewing a victim of ICE thuggery🤬

Trump’s private militia masquerading as ICE are just thugs shooting at priests and women exercising their right to freedom of assembly and their right to free speech. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdnvuf...

267,000. That’s how many veterans are projected to LOSE their health care if Republicans get their way and take away these health care tax breaks. This is not how we take care of those who served us, and I won’t stand for it.

The Trump admin just admitted — in a buried Labor Dept. filing — that its own immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and driving up food prices. The report warns the “near total cessation” of migrant labor is threatening “the stability of domestic food production.” F***ing DUH.

It gives me enormous joy to see Portlanders dressed in costume, Chicago mocking ICE and people dancing in from of riot police in D.C. Way to show these cities are peaceful and far from being the“hellholes” described by Trump and Miller.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
