Terrorizing babies and children isn’t law enforcement – it’s a moral failure. ICE isn’t going after criminals; they’re targeting your neighbors and friends.

Quality, free public education is a right in this country.

Our education system is far from perfect, but dismantling the Department of Education from within will widen those gaps and deeply hurt the next generation.

Oh, and this is illegal.

ICE is terrorizing our communities and even sweeping up U.S. citizens and green card holders. They’re not targeting violent criminals. They’re targeting anyone who looks like an immigrant.

ICE is making all of us less safe.

Senate Republicans passed a provision that would allow Senators involved in the January 6th investigation to SUE the government for $500,000 EACH.

House Dems led and passed a bill to repeal it.

But Senator Lindsey Graham has chosen THIS of all things to take a stand on and blocked it. Typical.

Child care is more expensive than rent in cities all across this country. It’s making life unaffordable for so many young families.

Congress needs to do a lot more to bring down the cost of child care AND ensure providers are making a living wage.
Child care expenses top the cost of rent in dozens of U.S. cities, analysis finds. See where.
In some metro areas, child care expenses amount to more than double what families spend on rent, LendingTree found.

I’m furious and heartbroken that soldiers were violated at the Army OB/GYN for years. They, like so many others, were laughed at, dismissed, and retraumatized. They deserve justice and a thorough investigation – and Congress will be watching.

The health care crisis will get even worse as Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cuts take effect and Republicans in Congress kick millions of people off their health insurance by cutting Medicaid and letting ACA premium tax credits expire.

The pain millions of Americans felt during the government shutdown after Trump illegally withheld SNAP benefits was sadly just a preview of what’s coming over the next few months.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill made the biggest cuts to SNAP in history. He’s creating a hunger crisis.

From Charlotte to Chicago to California — Trump is weaponizing ICE to incite fear in communities across our country. They’re sweeping up U.S. citizens and immigrants with no criminal records. They’re using violent tactics that threaten public safety.

Rein in ICE now.

Any move to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia ignores years of civilian harm in Yemen and the need for real accountability. Transferring one of the world’s most advanced weapons systems without clear safeguards undermines U.S. values and puts more innocent lives at risk.

Turns out sneaking in a last minute provision that lets Republican Senators sue the government for $500,000 each while raising the cost of health care for millions of Americans and failing to address affordability in any way is a “political liability.” Go figure.
