It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

SC Republicans in Congress don’t care that the federal workers and the military will not be paid as they are enjoying another vacation with full pay and benefits! Replace them in 2026. They don’t care that we can’t receive services our tax dollars pay for.

Rep. Clark: Republicans aren't even showing up for work. They come into office on a promise to lower your costs and just the opposite. They cut 20 million people off insurance and premium notices are going out right now that are double or triple what it cost people to get coverage last year.

Pritzker zeroed in on Trump's mental decline. Every Democrat should be!
