Virginia Democrats have just confirmed that they will redraw their Congressional Maps. Maryland should be next. I'm ready, and so are my colleagues.
Wow, a novel thought: using the National Guard to help people.
NEW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that he'll deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers "on a humanitarian mission to support food banks as the federal government shutdown delays food benefits for millions of California families."
This deserves universal condemnation. Unfortunately, those in the White House disagree. This is abhorrent, and anyone who fails to condemn these messages does not deserve to be in public office. time.com/7325948/leak...
White House Shrugs Off Young Republicans Praising Hitler
The messages, obtained by POLITICO, show that Young Republican leaders praised Hitler and joked about slavery and rape.

Makes sense. They have no strategy to ensure our government stays open. If this does not alarm you, it should.
Johnson: “Manu asks, ‘Why don’t I change my strategy?’ I don’t have any strategy, Manu. I’m doing the right thing…I don’t have anything to negotiate.”
I am so glad to see the release of the remaining Israeli hostages this morning. Two years after the horrific attacks on October 7th, these families will finally have some semblance of closure.
Corruption in plain sight. This is not "America first."
Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."
Today marks two years since the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Two years later, dozens of hostages remain in Hamas custody. We cannot stop working until all the hostages are released. We cannot forget what happened on October 7, 2023.
Donald Trump knows he is losing this shutdown, that's why his language is changing. This is the Trump shutdown. It's that simple.
MAGA Republicans support extended the Affordable Care Act subsidies, yet the White House does not. Democrats should hold the line and protect health insurance in America.
Yom Kippur calls us to pause, reflect, and look within. It is a time for forgiveness, for letting go of burdens, and for opening ourselves to renewal. May this day be filled with meaning, compassion, and peace. Wishing all who observe this evening and tomorrow an easy fast.
We are one day away from a government shutdown. If ACA subsidies expire, many families could see their premiums jump by up to 75%. This would put health care out of reach for millions. Let your member of Congress know: health care must remain affordable.
We cannot normalize this happening in the United States. We need leaders right now that will stand up and fight back. We are sliding down a dangerous path. If we don't speak up now, we may not get the change to in the future. www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...
ICE agents point guns at bystanders during violent arrest in Maryland
“What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yelled. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”

Shanah Tovah to all celebrating in Maryland and beyond! 🍎🍯

Wishing you a sweet, healthy, and peaceful New Year.
There is a lot that this Administration wants to distract you from. Something that should be talked about everyday, however, are the Epstein files. We need a House majority that will order the DOJ to release them. The public deserves it.
House Republicans just passed a bill that ensures Affordable Care Act subsidies expire.

Let that sink in. They are completely fine with allowing you to pay more for health care.

We need a Congress that protects people, not makes it harder and more expensive to live.
If it was not clear before, it should be clear now. We need a Congress now more than ever that will have a backbone and stand up to this White House. The First Amendment is under attack.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says Sinclair has "every right" to demand that Jimmy Kimmel to donate to Turning Point USA
RFK Jr. should resign from office immediately. Congress should demand it.
Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"
The First Amendment is under attack in our nation, and Congress is nowhere to be found. We need a Democratic Congress to hold this President accountable, and we need it now.
JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
