Big, big night for Democrats and lovers of democracy from coast to coast. The Fox News talking point black voters would stay home was clearly debunked in New Jersey! The rumors of the death of the Democratic Party has been greatly exaggerated.
Trump wasn’t on the ballot on Tuesday — but still took a major loss
“Hopefully POTUS starts focusing less on international stuff and more on domestic issues,” one White House official told MSNBC after losses in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City rolled in.

The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority.
Meanwhile.
The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

This is a national disgrace, done without any public input or the consent of the U.S. Congress. The work of a dictator unaccountable to anyone. Let's wake up Republicans in the Congress, or Trump will render the Congress useless.

If Congress lets enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose health coverage — including 1.1 million Black Americans. Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right.
Congress must act now to keep coverage affordable and protect every family’s care.

Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals.
It does not.
The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL2) condemned Trump for sabotaging the $1.9 billion Red Line Extension project, falsely claiming the project's "race-based contracting."
The Red Line extension is slated to add four train stops on the city’s South Side, improving access for disadvantaged communities.

If Republicans don’t act now to extend enhanced premium tax credits, hundreds of thousands could lose health coverage and millions more will see premiums spike by as much as 114%. #TrumpShutdown #ShutdownDon

Our very own, Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in the 2nd congressional district town of Dolton, Illinois, took the Trump administration to task suggesting on Tuesday that people who support the “inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States” may not be “pro life.”
White House pushes back on Pope Leo’s statement that immigrants are subject to 'inhuman treatment' in the U.S.
It’s not the first time the bishop of Rome has criticized the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
