No, I'm tired of the silence over 5,000 trans service members and their families being kicked out. I'm tired of the silence over the demonization of the trans community. I'm tired of trans youth being attacked. If you want stack up your Democratic campaign record against mine, I'm here. Go ahead.

This is an example of why Progressives cost Democrats elections. Tom gets to choose what he writes about and you rip him for not discussing something unrelated and off his topic. This is a sad but persistent habit of certain liberals. It is a losing play. Pontificate elsewhere. Dear God, indeed.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.
