I met Espinoza at the Northwest Detention Center.

She was kidnapped from her job. She spent what should have been her wedding day in detention.

She was working, contributing to our community, and is now married to a US citizen. This is who ICE is targeting. www.kuow.org/stories/she-...
Inside the black box of ICE detention in Tacoma, she watched her wedding day come and go

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

Trump’s priorities:

Bulldozing the White House ✅
Reopening the government ❌
Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://wapo.st/4hl7jyF

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

Trump’s ICE has detained more than 170 U.S. citizens this year — something they have no authority to do.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

We are 20 days into the Republican Shutdown — health care costs are skyrocketing and federal workers aren’t getting paid.

What is Trump doing? Building his gold plated ballroom.

It's no surprise that Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign is proudly saying that, if elected governor of New Jersey, Ciattarelli would support a ban on marriage equality. He's been against marriage equality for over a decade.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

After gutting Medicare and Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the rich, Trump and Republicans are now refusing to stop insurance premiums from skyrocketing.

Meanwhile, California will make CalRx insulin available at $11 a pen starting Jan. 1st.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

It’s day 17 of the Republican Shutdown, and approximately 750,000 federal workers have been furloughed and are missing paychecks.

Workers and their families deserve better. Republicans must end this shutdown now.
