There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Has anyone asked the “private donors” why they choose to spend money on a ballroom for the few instead of reducing the national debt for all?

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history.

T-minus 24 days and we’re kicking off the weekend in Passaic with so many of our friends in labor!

I’m beyond grateful to have the support of so many of New Jersey’s union workers, and I’m going to fight like hell to make sure their voices are heard loud and clear in Trenton.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia is calling on Chairman Comer to "immediately schedule a date for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify" before the Committee.

The panel had postponed its deposition with Maxwell until the Supreme Court decided whether to take up her appeal (it did not). tinyurl.com/bpasrhvz

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
