Donald Trump spent his first 100 days in office breaking promises and creating chaos.
It's no surprise that 45% of Americans gave him an "F" on his performance.

America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment.
Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution.
Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate.

We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.
1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.
Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

How quickly has Trump changed Republicans views on Russia? Not just members of Congress, but his voters. He called Putin a victim because Trump was getting investigated over Russian collision. I don't think it can be any more obvious this point Russia is in some way manipulating our government.

Last week, we reached 100,000 patients as part of our medical debt relief program.
I’m excited to announce that already we’ve alleviated this burden for more Illinoisans.
As of today, an additional 170,000 Illinoisans will have their debt erased — relieving $345 million.
