Republicans shut down the government rather than work to lower health care costs.
Now, as millions face massive premium hikes, House Republicans are still nowhere to be found.
Democrats have been in Washington—ready to end the GOP health care crisis and reopen the government.

This is shameful and un-American. The people have a right to ask what their military is doing, and we shouldn’t have to buy just the official line.

If the courts are now saying federal law enforcement can discriminate on the basis of race, they are disregarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the 14th Amendment. They’re taking us back to Jim Crow with this one.

Back to school season under the Trump administration means:
A hollowed-out Department of Education
Fewer kids receiving free school meals
Astronomical costs on school supplies
Student loan borrowers left in limbo
Rising fears of school shootings
Families deserve better.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

How convenient, now the Trump administration cares what the courts say?
Q: What's stopping Trump from redacting sensitive information in the Epstein files and putting out what's appropriate?
Leavitt: A judge would have to approve that. That's out of Trump's control

The Trump administration had appealed a decision that had directed it to stop gutting the U.S. Education Department and to reinstate many of the workers the government had laid off.
