Great few days in DC. I toured the scene of the crime #J6

During my tour I met many Capitol employees who are devoted to their jobs.

Thank all of you for your service.

🚨Trump Admin. is REDUCING access to care for lawfully present & undocumented immigrants & their CHILDREN. Congressional actions directly affect coverage ONLY for LAWFULLY present immigrants & their children. LONG TERM: WORSE health outcomes & NEGATIVE impacts on US economy. -Kaiser Family Foundation

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Alaska is breaking purple!
We must pay attention to all these municipal elections and special elections between now and the midterms.
Democrats are outperforming extreme, right wing opponents.

For many of us Alaskans, the PFD is essential. Yet this year’s check is among the lowest ever, forcing families into impossible choices. We need a formula Alaskans can count on. One that's affordable, true to our share of Alaska’s oil wealth, and puts the 'permanent' back in Permanent Fund Dividend.

The health insurance industry doesn't care who you voted for — only how much money they can extract from you.

Insurance premiums are set to double, and Republicans shut down the government to make sure it happens.

Now is the time to demand universal healthcare with Medicare for All.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

ICYMI: The second Trump administration canceled previously awarded federal grants intended for bike lanes, pedestrian trails, and street safety upgrades on 9 September 2025.

Car-Centric Trump Admin Cancelled Bike and Trail Grants. Labels Them Hostile to Cars — Konsyse

The Department of Transportation rescinded millions in grants. It cited policies that prioritize vehicle flow over multimodal safety.

“When in our history have we tolerated unlawful riotous assemblies night after night around FBI buildings, or ATF buildings, or DEA buildings?” Miller said during an interview on CNN. “This is the textbook definition of domestic terrorism.”

Really Stephen?

The GOP won't swear-in Adelita Grijalva, leaving AZ-07 without a federal representative during a government shutdown.

She will also be the 218th and final signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files—I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right?

Obtuse laws control women in many red states. A friend told me her niece married an American & lives in US, came up to visit her Canadian family, ended up having a tubal pregnancy. Emerg doctor advised her not to return as she could be arrested for seeking an abortion outside her state.😡🤡#BoycottUSA
