He does not serve his constituants well. Voted to decrease medicaid despite having a large percentage of the people he represents on medicaid. Also has not objected to the tariffs on China resulting in huge loses to farmers in eastern Washington.

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

Such obvious lawlessness after a judge said no to the Oregon guard. I wish the officers would stop obeying those orders.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Highly educated researchers across the globe have for decades studied autism and been unable to find a cause or cure. But an environmental lawyer and former heroin addict with a brain worm has found both in just a matter of months. We just keep winning.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

"I was so horrified and disgusted by Fox host Brian Kilmeade’s recommendation about how to deal with homeless people.

. Let's all take 5 minutes to call Fox at 888-369-4762 and demand Kilmeade be fired. Then get at least one of our friends to call, too. Flood their switchboard!
