Another anemic defense of the indefensible. Regrettably unsurprising. Never fails to disappoint.
Ask the married women in your district who took their husband's last name how they feel about this given that many are about to be disenfranchised.
🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Yes, where are our reps?
there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official.
something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

. @RepMattHall & Michigan House Republicans just endorsed a $7 BILLION gut punch to our kids’ education.
Because that is how much they and the Trump administration gutted just this month from MI Public schools.
MAGA doesn’t want to fix public schools—they want to burn them down.

Jon Tester: “What [Trump] has proposed to do with the Postal Service is a nail in the coffin for rural America… 10% of the people who live in Montana are veterans. You can say you're not cutting benefits, but if you don't have people in the VA to deliver those benefits, you have cut those benefits.”

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

The headline really sanitizes what they did to this guy. Getting stripped naked, inadequate food, sleep deprivation sounds more like war on terror ear rendition than "interrogation."

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.
It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.
I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers.
As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.

In an Oval Office meeting, Trump asked Elon Musk: Was there anything his administration could do for Tesla? Privately, he mocked the extent to which Musk's wealth was leveraged and his businesses were government subsidized. "I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg.'"

As Musk’s business empire falters, Trump summons a wave of conservative support
Amid calls for Musk to step back from the U.S. DOGE Service, Trump is offering a White House lifeline to his biggest donor -- further entwining their fates.
