Peaceful protest is a hallmark of our democracy. But vandalizing a Jewish owned community center is neither protest nor activism. It’s antisemitism. And it only serves to diminish legitimate expression. Intolerance and hate of all kinds must have no safe harbor.

BREAKING: A fourth court has found that President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, seeking to stretch the meaning of "invasion" beyond its plain meaning.

The ruling blocks AEA deportations in the Western District of Texas.

I gotta say, Gavin Newsom is meeting this extraordinary moment like a total f’ng badass.

Do not obey in advance.
Communicate often.
Remain calm.
Hold the line.
Call them on their bullshit.
Bring the facts.
And push the fuck back.

This is the way.

In the Pacific Northwest, salmon aren't just fish—they're a way of life, and foundational to our economy & culture.

Trump's budget wants to completely ELIMINATE the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund.

I'm tearing up Trump's budget, and won't vote for ANY bill that eliminates this funding.

As Trump’s Edu. Dept. pushes cuts to literacy, mental health, and civil rights enforcement, Sen. Patty Murray isn’t backing down without a fight as she secures a future for our students, teachers, and communities.
Our students deserve better, and Sen. Murray is leading the fight to protect them!
Literacy is McMahon’s top priority. Senators ask, where’s the money?
The education secretary also answered questions about FY26 proposals for mental health, civil rights, college access and where this year's spending stands.

Trump is required by LAW to get $220 million for childhood literacy programs out the door to benefit students.

Secretary McMahon couldn't even provide a basic timeline to do so.
