I hope you’re safe ❤️
Bring them all home.
Andry & the 252 other men sent, without due process, to a torture prison in El Salvador feels like the epitome—the soul, moral center, & quintessence—of this administration. I will never forget it or him.

Also, if you don’t know the definition of grace, now you do.

We’re getting the f–ing files.
🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @oversightdemocrats.house.gov subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic:
August 1814:
British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings.
July 2025:
Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

If the current president wishes to distract us from the Epstein Files, he can focus on releasing Venezuelan prisoners, with no criminal records, sent to CECOT without due process, including Andry, a gay makeup artist seeking political asylum.

Trump’s claims about deportations to an El Salvador prison are falling apart

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Rep Hortman and I were classmates at the Kennedy School and graduated together in 2018.

It took me a moment to realize the person who I remember as deeply service driven and incredibly bright was the victim of last night’s heinous act.

She was a bright light and made us all better.

Psst... Gov. Pritzker: We could reduce tax revenue needed to fix Chicagoland's $771M transit budget gap by using money from highway trust fund, still funding a normal amount of road work.

IL AFL-CIO could you support that?

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.
