- Insist elections are rigged despite zero evidence, silence the press... and find an excuse to deploy our military around election season to intimidate voters. This is the authoritarian playbook.
00:00 - It's day 100 of Trump's illegal war in Iran. 100 days spent putting our troops' lives in danger. 100 days without an end game. 100 days too many. It's past time for this war of choice to come to an end.
- Americans are getting pummeled by sky-high costs—and Senate Republicans couldn’t care less. Instead of fighting to lower energy and grocery bills, Republicans spent all day and night fighting to bankroll ICE and Border Patrol. It’s Trump first, America last. Every damn time.BREAKING: The Senate passes a $70B immigration enforcement bill without limits on President Trump's settlement fund. apnews.com/article/trump-…
- NEW: Senate GOP just began votes on their corrupt bill to hand another $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol. Meanwhile, there’s $0 to help you with soaring costs caused by Trump’s war. It’s outrageous. Senate Democrats will be introducing amendments all day to fight this.
- Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion. America has paid enough. No more. It's time to end the war.The House for the first time approves a war powers resolution to halt military action against Iran in rebuke of President Trump's war. apnews.com/article/iran-w…
- Huge news if you love meritocracy. Our transgender servicemembers earned their roles in our military, making us more lethal and prepared to defend America from her enemies. And that's something Hegseth can't say.
- Of all the things our men and women in uniform put up with in the middle of a war... Being used to stroke Trump's ego at his ridiculous UFC birthday party should not be on that list.The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at Trump's UFC cage-fighting event at the White House — and requiring those who attend to pay for their travel and meet height and weight requirements, according to people familiar with the matter and
- A great win for our state! 👏 These bills will help protect Illinois consumers against out-of-control price hikes from insurance companies, helping them save money and have more peace of mind.Illinoisans are getting squeezed by unfair insurance premium hikes. With this legislation, we're reining in corporate abuse and making auto and homeownership more affordable. abc7chicago.com/post/bills-giv…
- Do they care about our national security at all? Trump is plunging us further into war, cozying up to dictators and alienating our partners. The last thing we need is an inexperienced, partisan yes-man leading our intelligence community. This doesn’t make America safer.Bill Pulte, who has never served in an intelligence role, will be the acting director of national intelligence.
- Pete Hegseth—who never ranked higher than Major—is once again ignoring Generals' recommendations and denying merit-based promotions. For all his bluster about bringing meritocracy back to our military, this unqualified SecDef keeps doing the opposite. An insult to our troops.Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers in a move that targeted women and minority officers. nyti.ms/4fg7wUR
- I just watched Hegseth’s speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration’s “Peace Through Strength” has looked like.
00:00 - Ricardo and his mother Liliana are home! This happy news reminds us that when we come together and speak out, we can make a difference. We must keep pushing back against Trump’s attacks on our communities.
