I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent—if you’re protecting predators instead of survivors, you don’t deserve a seat in Congress. Our oath is to the Constitution and to the people, not the powerful.

ICE is beyond reform and should be abolished.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who the U.S. wrongfully deported to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody on Monday, his lawyer said, after the Trump administration indicated it planned to deport him again, this time to Uganda.
Abrego Garcia Detained Again After Administration Signaled It Would Re-Deport Him
The move came only three days after he was freed from custody in the criminal case that was filed against him in Federal District Court in Nashville.

The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen.
Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

Scientists find strongest evidence yet of life on an alien planet
In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet's atmosphere the chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes.

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’
While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

The Republicans’ budget bill that passed the Senate is nothing short of devastating.
And every Representative & Senator who voted to support it has let down the communities that elected them to be their voice in Congress.

An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.
