Trump’s ICE detained Kilmar Abrego García this morning—snatching him without cause. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s political terror.
Deporting him to Uganda is cruel and unnecessary. Ripping him from his family is next level evil. His family needs him.
We must fight for him.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, is sounding the alarm over a massive measles outbreak in neighboring Texas.
Cassidy fucked around and voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr as head of HHS.

The right has long hated Head Start because they think it helps women work outside of the home.
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.
