I think Democrats need to make clear that the while the government is shut down, Congress is not. It can and always has done its work during a shutdown.
Mike Johnson has made it appear in media that House can't do anything unless govt is open. Media doesn't correct him.

🚨🚨🚨 The Supreme Court has just allowed Trump to strip as many as 350,000 people of legal status, effectively IMMEDIATELY.
Every Venezuelan granted TPS through the July 31, 2023 designation has been rendered undocumented as of now, significantly increasing the undocumented population.

NEW: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to resume its termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants, staying a lower court decision that had halted the process. Only Justice Jackson notes her dissent.

On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we recommit to stamping out hate toward LGBTQ+ folks. Amidst the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ bills and policies, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community and will keep working to create a more welcoming and safer world for all.

I took my 2 year old son to an MLB game today for some quality dad time and he absolutely had a blast. In fact, he was sad when the game ended because he wanted to stay at the ballpark. It was a good reminder that there’s still a lot of joy in life.

UPDATE: Visas of numerous students at University of California schools have also been revoked, including several at UC Berkeley, six at UC San Diego and eight reportedly at UCLA.
Many of those whose visas have been revoked appear to be foreign-born students who have engaged in political activism.
