I’m talking to Democrats and Republicans in the Senate every day, but the House is critical to solving this shutdown too. Mike Johnson needs to get House Republicans back to Washington so we can actually work together to stop health care costs from rising dramatically.

Billboard and Telemundo announced that global superstar Bad Bunny will be recognized as the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Looking forward to his show at the Super Bowl!

#DiversityMakesAmericaGreat

About Bad Bunny: "His music transcends language. It's amazing what he's done. He did something that a lot of people have never done in their life, and I'm so excited for him. I was excited when he performed with us at the Super Bowl and I'm excited to see what he does. He puts on a great show, he's an amazing entertainer." * Jennifer Lopez

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Eric Swalwell: Trump's shutdown is going to screw over military families... we have offered to just have what's called a voice vote.

But, what is this really about? It seems that Donald Trump is willing to shut down the government because he doesn't want to admit how close he was to Jeffrey Epstein

If Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to protect the health care tax credits, his premiums will increase from $51 to $2,250 a MONTH.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

Russian massive attack on #Ukraine lasted all night.
Yet another morning when all of us call and text each other, asking "Are you ok?"

Ukrainian energy system was the main target of Russia's attack. Various power plants attacked in several regions.
A difficult winter is ahead.
