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

The Trump Shutdown is underway. Senators, you can fix this with a bipartisan agreement that protects healthcare and prevents Trump from stealing from our communities! We'll support you in this effort!

This is gross behavior. No excuses.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Don't wait for 2026. Every year is an election year and there are always actions you can take.

Voting to retain fair judges means ensuring courts defend personal freedoms.

This November, vote to retain
Justice Christine Donohue
Justice Kevin Dougherty
and
Justice David Wecht

Protect PA.
