The DHS funding deadline is six days away and we can’t settle for empty reforms with the regime’s death squads.
Demand that Democrats hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

Andy Kim refusing to allow Phil Murphy to coronate his wife has actually destroyed one of the most entrenched machines in American politics.
the story here, which Kornacki gets right, is not exemplified in Mejia leading
it's that she's barely beating Malinowski who, while not a leftist, was an anti machine candidate who faced down an absolute money cannon of negative ads from DMFI and the machine
the *machine* lost here spectacularly

If Congress were to overturn DC’s tax code, it would be reversing *tax cuts* for DC working families struggling to pay the bills and removing funding for DC’s Child Tax Credit. Maybe not a surprising move for them, but it's important to highlight.
