We are living in challenging times—with the illegal effort to call in the military—during which all of us must defend our republic. Join me next week at the No Kings Rally in Denver or one near you—and make sure your voice is heard. More here: philforcolorado.com/a-republic-a...

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!

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Republicans gutted our health care system in their Big Ugly Bill — now millions could see premiums double or triple in weeks. Instead of lowering costs for working families, GOP leaders spread lies. Tax credits require citizenship, legal residency, and paying taxes. Shameful.

Republicans Are Telling Lies About Undocumented Immigrants To Deflect Blame for Health Care Cost Increases They Supported

Republican inaction on premium tax credits will cause health insurance costs to soar for more than 20 million people.

Trump and Johnson could be protecting military paychecks. Democrats have a bill to do it. But their top priority is blocking the release of the Epstein files.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
