BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.
