Good example of why I respectfully disagree with those who think bodycams are useless or actively harmful. In the last 13 months we have repeatedly seen bodycam footage refute ICE/CBP officers' flagrant lies, sometimes even exonerating protesters falsely accused of assault. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

I joined governors from across the nation to urge Congress to extend tax credits that are set to expire at the end of the year that help make healthcare more affordable for working folks.

As families struggle with rising costs, these tax credits are as important as ever.

This is Meeting The Moment, from Pritzker.

Please watch this 90-second clip.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

We went on a family trip to Iceland last August and while in Reykjavik we had the best cinnamon rolls we’ve ever had. I found out they had the recipe on their website and have been wanting to make them since that trip. A year later and I made them finally- so worth it ♥️

The success Senate Democrats have had gutting some of the miseries of this bill is so great, I'm shocked there's still a Senate Parliamentarian.
Here's a very partial list of what Dems have succeeded in getting excluded from the Big Ugly via Byrd Rule challenges.

It makes the bill less-shitty and may create a delay Dems can use to exacerbate the unpopularity of the bill.
