Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Access to health care is crucial, especially for our veterans and their families.
“I think it’s my duty, because I look at them as my brothers.”

Now this vet sees 60 patients a day as a VA medical technician, and says the system is struggling to keep up:

Signed on this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act prohibited racial discrimination in voting. Here we are 6 decades later, still fighting against voter suppression and illegal gerrymandering in Texas and beyond.

In Arizona, public schools are being forced to close because politicians are defunding them through a runaway voucher program. We must strengthen, not abandon public schools.

We stand against any attempts to abusively redraw the electoral districts in our states. Diluting minority representation in an unplanned and opaque gerrymandering violates the Voting Rights Act, regardless of what political party would seek to impose it.
Leading Illinois Democrats and the head of the national Democratic party joined Texas House Democrats Tuesday in a call for a political redistricting fight to expand to a national battle on Tuesday.

We are proud to support this coalition.
While our current district maps by no means serve our communities or reflect our growth as a state, HB 4 seeks to make a bad situation even worse. Members of the Fair Maps Texas coalition joined up with other Texans last Friday to speak out against it. #fairmaps #txlege

The Congressional budget is a moral failure. Congress must fix this harm.

We will not stand by while millions go hungry or without health care. Today, we come together as a Jewish community to demand a federal budget that invests in women, children & families. Not one that abandons them.

Yes, because gerrymandering in such a corrupt way essentially leads to taxation without representation. Rings a bell, y'all?

Remember: Congress' job is to legislate and conduct oversight. Undermining any of its functions is undermining democratic process.
NEW: A dozen House Democrats are suing Trump administration officials, alleging that ICE has prevented them from conducting oversight on federal immigration detention facilities and encroached on their constitutional authority to oversee the executive branch.
