To the parents of Alex Pretti: you must be feeling unimaginable pain right now and I’m sorrier than I can say for your loss. Alex dedicated his life to serving others and his last acts were to help people while tending to a sick country. He will not be forgotten. He will be remembered as a hero.

Here's a moment of zen as ICE entered a neighborhood in Minneapolis. I love my patriotic fellow Americans standing up for what's right. BTW, the large amount of smoke at the end is because the ICE thugs lobbed a teargas canister at the crowd as they skedaddled away.

There's a GoFundMe for the ICE murderer. As of this morning, it'd raised over $300,000. Many of the comments were sickening. Are they watching the same videos I am? Disinformation is key but some people's moral compass is gone. I knew the USA wasn't perfect; I just didn't know it was this bad.

We are all Renee Good. You'll never convince me the ICE agent (refuse to say his name) wasn't teaching her a lesson for not being afraid of him. The expletive he uttered immediately after murdering her said it all.

I love karma. The solution to preventing redacted text in Adobe is using the deluxe version. Prior to Trump, the DOJ subscribed but DOGE canceled the premium subscription because having industry-standard document management tools amounted to waste, fraud, or abuse. Hoist by their own petard.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Thank you, Rep. DeSaulnier, for holding the Sacklers & Purdue accountable for the evil they've done. It's cold comfort to those who've been hurt badly but at least they can't continue their damaging behavior as easily in the future. We need more leaders to fight for (not against) regular Americans.
I’m glad to hear the news today that the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma will be forced to pay for the deep harm they have caused countless families and communities (1/3).

Thanks, Rep. Pappas, for trying to do something to help keep healthcare affordable for so many. I doubt the Trump admin will do this because they don't care about anyone other than themselves but good for you for trying. Keep up the good work!
Open enrollment must be extended to give people the time and flexibility they need to choose their coverage.
I’ve called on the Trump administration to take this simple step, but if they won’t act, Congress must.

It's hard to explain to people outside Texas just how terrible the political situation is there. Sometimes it's even hard IN Texas because far too many don't know. This sums it up.

At what point can a state rig elections so aggressively that their results must be nullified?

I was proud to join local leaders and project partners to break ground for the new Mary Rose Wilcox Center which will help even more families access the care they need.

The failure of Republicans to do anything to save health care is truly disappointing.
But House Democrats remain committed—we’ll keep fighting to protect health care.

I’m a NO on this bill that does nothing to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Republicans did not come to the table to stop this — they own the shutdown and they are responsible for jeopardizing health coverage for so many Americans.
