If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

A Virginia judge temporarily halted the state’s newly approved congressional map — but state officials are already moving to try to overturn the ruling, setting up a rapid legal fight in the state’s Supreme Court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

Israel just killed another Lebanese journalist, Amal Khalil — then reportedly bombed rescue workers trying to help her.
(Although from the @wsj headline you’d never know who killed her🤔)
My G-d
The Navy goes from an incompetent in John Phelan who was appointed because he was a Trump donor
To Hung Cao-the apparent king of stolen valor who believes parts of America are being overrun by..witches and wiccans
Heaven help our sailors fighting Iran-on active duty in the Strait of Hormuz
So Hegseth didn’t get along with the Navy Secretary and also doesn’t get along with the Army Secretary. He seems to be the common denominator.
MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately.

Probably not suspicious that Trump fired his Navy Secretary in the middle of a naval blockade.
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
