Yesterday, America spoke. They do not like Donald Trump’s chaos.
We will keep fighting his cost-spiking policies and build a more affordable Virginia for all.

Have you ever, in your entire life, had a 46-day paid vacation?
House Republicans are enjoying that right now while millions of families struggle to make ends meet without a paycheck.

There are no words. Hungry kids are not a bargaining chip. Choosing to let millions go hungry is unspeakably cruel.

This is your reminder that millions of Americans will lose food benefits this weekend because Trump is refusing to tap his emergency fund.

I don’t understand why there’s not wall-to-wall coverage of the fact that House Republicans are on a 5-WEEK TAXPAYER-FUNDED VACATION… while working families wonder if they’ll lose SNAP benefits.

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.
It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.
This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.
