"Baggage of first American Pope, you bring a true first American family."
Louis Prevost, the MAGA-supporting brother of Pope Leo, met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office last night.
“This is the baggage of being the first American Pope ... you bring with you the first truly American family,” @adamwren.bsky.social quips on today's #playbookpod: ow.ly/gr2m50VWglF

My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

Democrats, we need to unify behind ONE STRATEGY on immigration right now. We have Latino Americans being detained, law abiding, tax paying undocumented immigrants doors being knocked down, families being torn apart. We cannot stand by quietly. UNITE, SPEAK UP, TAKE ACTION!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Please do not forget that in Nov Wis passed a referendum that was harmful towards Undoc immigrants & Latinos. ACLU Wis warned about it. Why did WisDems not stand up for our people? Is this what we should expect as Wikler as DNC chair?

All week I’ve been fielding calls asking what we know about ICE raids - and the first verified reports we have are that they showed up at elementary school. Is the Trump White House scared of elementary school children?
After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school.
Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American.

ICE agents tried to enter a Chicago elementary school. Staff turned them away.
The incident comes amid a threatened Trump administration crackdown and sent ripples of fear through the K-8 school.
