“Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the suspect is a naturalized citizen from the United Kingdom with a prior criminal record.” Isn’t that was ICE was supposed to be for? Why is he still on the street while infants and children are being detained in your for-profit detention centers?
Sorry to burst Chuck’s bubble, but if he really wanted to rein in Trump’s power he’d force a Declaration of War resolution instead. No one wants this war - on either side. A no vote would cut it off.
It was a pleasure to be there and to be able to share a vision for the future that is centered on people and human dignity. It’s a message more people need to hear. Thank you for attending the event!
When a President talks this way, people die. That is the reality. And, our troops are dying in a war Congress has not authorized.
American service members are not props, and the Constitution is not optional. No matter how much some leaders want it to be. #iran #veterans #OH7
Corporations are exploiting AI to eliminate jobs without accountability. We need both to regulate AI and to hold accountable, companies who use AI to displace workers.

Last week, the U.S. Treasury Department declared the U.S. insolvent with a deficit of nearly $48 trillion dollars.
If the debt was an American household, “that household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Its total liabilities = $1,361,788

I’m running for Congress, in part, because the American people deserve leaders who understand public service is honorable, our institutions matter, and that even in disagreement, there must still be a line we do not cross. #Mueller
The office of President is not supposed to be a platform for cruelty. It is supposed to reflect the values of this country at its best. When that standard is lost, it lowers the moral standard of our politics and tells the country basic humanity no longer matters.
Robert Mueller was a Marine, a public servant, and an American who served this country for decades. You do not have to agree with someone on every issue to understand that when a person dies, especially someone who served the United States, the response should be sympathy, dignity, and respect.
No family should go bankrupt because someone got sick. A medical emergency should not become a financial catastrophe. Families should not have to choose between treatment and rent. Healthcare is not a luxury. It is basic stability. #healthcare #m4A #medicare #ACA #LauraforUs #OH7 #OhioPolitics
I explain my firm decision to refuse AIPAC funding and clarify why supporting the Jewish community and Israel's right to defend itself are separate from accepting money from political PACs. #AIPAC #Israel #OH7 #LauraforUs
I do not take corporate PAC money because I believe your representative should answer to you, not wealthy donors. This campaign is being built by people who are tired of being overlooked and pushed aside. Give today to help us grow. #LauraforUs #OH7 #OhioPolitics secure.actblue.com/donate/laura...
We've spent too long sending career politicians to Congress while expecting different results. Its time to try something different: its time for a change. #LauraforUs #OH7
Food costs keep rising while paychecks stay flat. Washington keeps telling people to work harder. That is not the problem. The problem is an economy built to protect profits before people. Share this if your grocery bill is hitting harder than ever. #affordability #OH7 #LauraforUs
If you work full time, you should be able to afford a place to live. That should not be controversial. Across Ohio’s 7th, families are being crushed by housing costs that rise faster than paychecks. People are not failing. Policy is. I believe housing is part of basic economic dignity. #OH7
American service members and their families deserve the truth.
The rest of us deserve answers about why there is never enough money for health care, lower costs, or working families, but there is always money for another war of choice. END

So far, the story is:
Not a regime change war but the regime is gone.
Not about liberation but the people are supposedly “free.”
Not an imminent threat but maybe it was.
Nuclear program “obliterated” but also the reason we had no choice

Here, people are working two jobs and still falling behind. Seniors are starving on SNAP benefits slashed by this administration. Prices are way up. Wages are flat. Good jobs are disappearing. And this government - instead of fighting for you - is dragging us toward another war in the Middle East.
Today, the U.S. launched military strikes against Iran without a vote of Congress. Without the consent of the American people, who, by and large do not want this.

The U.S. government has no right to withhold funds Congress has already allocated, by law, to programs and services benefitting the American people.

As many as 550,000 people file for bankruptcy every year due to medical bills in the U.S. 26,000 Americans die each year because of lack of health insurance. If we can use taxpayer dollars to send a hospital boat to #Greenland, there is absolutely NO reason we can’t have Medicare for All here. #M4A
Wexner laughed when his lawyer joked about killing him for answering too many questions in his deposition.
Must be nice.
Epstein’s survivors aren’t laughing. Justice isn’t supposed to have a price tag. I will fight to make sure it doesn’t.
I’m not laughing.

What does freedom mean if families can’t afford housing, healthcare, or security?
In 1944, Franklin Roosevelt proposed a Second Bill of Rights—economic rights to make freedom real in everyday life.
I made a short video about why it still matters today.

Today, we lost Rev.Jesse Jackson. He stood by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. He ran for Presient twice because he knew the only way to change the country was to challenge it and force it to either expand its vision or be defined by its limits.

Not sure if they are setting up Republicans on this but obviously MANY more reforms are needed.
It’s a concrete patio now.
This airs at 8 am EDT tomorrow at aljazeera.com/live and then will be repayable at some point at www.aljazeera.com/program/head.... It’ll be better than anything you usually watch in the morning, I’m sure. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social was terrific.
This is illegal, immoral, and it needs to stop.
Spent my day getting into some good trouble with @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . Obligatory late-day selfie for context.
