For millions of parents, child care costs more than rent.
Moms are quitting jobs they love because they can't even FIND child care.
And Republicans' response tonight? A blank check for ICE.

The trump 2 crew is trying to make the case SPLC is a secret pro-hate, anti-democracy org. It’s blatantly absurd. But this follows years of bogeyman conspiracy: it’s difficult to differentiate between the WH and WN on telegram. If there is a rational goal, imo it’s to drain resources in court.
SPLC Union Logo: Yesterday, the Department of Justice leveled outrageous allegations at the Southern Poverty Law Center. In so doing, they maligned the integrity of the SPLC workers who have labored tirelessly for decades to expose the dangerous cruelty of extremists and hate groups in the United States.
SPLC Union Logo: This work is punishing. It takes a toll on our health and on our safety. But we persist because we believe in our mission to advance justice for all, and we believe that investigating, naming, and alerting the American people to the activities of those who seek to harm our neighbors is a moral imperative and an essential public service.
Today our colleagues are facing abuse and harassment from the far-right figures emboldened by this attack. But we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to name racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.
Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
BRUTAL NEW POLL
Donald Trump is cratering. His approval with Republicans hits an unprecedented low.
A judge found that DHS deliberately violated the El Gamal family’s due process rights & recommended they be released from detention.
They are not a flight risk or a threat to their community.
Further detention is unjustified & would be an expression of this Administration’s anti-immigrant animus.
Ofc no Republicans showed up to face their people. All US citizens who got shot or abused by their federal agents.
They invited Stephen Miller and Tom Homan but they are also no show.

Moshannon should be shut down.
This hunger strike demonstrates what we already knew: without real oversight, the abuse & neglect will continue.
I plan to go back to Moshannon to do my job, get some accountability, & push for its closure once & for all.

If anything, this hearing has strong witnesses, from George Reyes, Rev. David Black and Ryan Ecklund.
Marimar Martinez’s opening statement was so strong. Calling the ICE agents that shot her as her “executioners”.
Congress is currently is considering adding up to $140 billion to ICE's already bloated budget.
Our leaders shouldn't give ICE and CBP more blank checks to violate our rights.Tell Congress to rein in ICE at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
Incarcerated people stopped believing they deserved soap and toilet paper when the government controlled the news they could watch, writes @joinjeremy.org's Jeremy Busby.
People on the outside may stop believing they deserve democracy.
At a time where families are struggling to make ends meet, "the Trump admin. wants to waste billions more to ensure its mass deportation agenda rages on."
Meanwhile, reports of abuse keep piling up: from teenagers targeted to families torn apart.

Looks like Rev. David Black, the Presbyterian pastor who was shot in the head and body with pepper balls by DHS agents as he was praying outside an ICE facility in IL, is back on the Hill today.
He's testifying at a Homeland Security committee hearing on "ICE and CBP attacks on U.S. citizens."
Among all Trump’s immigration cruelties, this one would be especially hideous. Afghan allies who protected our troops were promised safety if America left. Now America is abandoning them & breaking its promise. Pass our Afghan Adjustment Act immediately.
Today, @ICEgov got around to deleting questions I sent for the article below -- which was published in August 2025 (!!!) -- without ever reading them.
This is why reporters need to ferret out stories.
Thanks for all your work, James Covington!
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.) called it after Bondi was booted, “Well … first it was Kristi Noem, now it’s Pam Bondi … it would be too much like right that Pete be next. I see a theme. He will throw the incompetent women under the bus a lot faster than the incompetent men.
My statement regarding unfounded attacks and threats against my family and staff.
No one in Congress—or their family or staff—should face threats, attacks, or lies for doing their job.
Rep. Ansari is not only speaking up for the majority of Americans who are opposed to Trump’s illegal war, she’s leading the charge to hold those responsible for it, like Pete Hegseth, accountable.
“… support for impeaching Trump today is only a few percentage points lower than it was for Richard Nixon in 1974: And at the height of Watergate, days before Nixon resigned, Gallup found 58% wanted him removed. Trump is in ‘Nixon resignation’ territory with these impeachment numbers …”
