Known as the red card, a resource distributed by the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center lists tips and legal rights for immigrants who might find themselves targeted by federal agents. Demand for the cards has surged since President Trump returned to office. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...
Two hands hold a small red card with white lettering against a wallet. The card reads: “I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions, or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. I do not give you permission to enter my home based on my 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door. I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4th Amendment rights. I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.” Photo by Loren Elliott for The New York Times.

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare.

There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it.

We only need three House Republicans to join us.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I am so very sorry
For your dear friend
And his family...and you

This tragic disease
I try to walk in their shoes
To all of you with a loved one or a diagnosis my heart breaks
