Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.

This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits. 

Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

The Republican budget cuts taxes for their billionaire donors, while cutting off Medicaid from older Americans in Nursing Homes.

Every single Budget Committee Democrat voted against it.

And now the battle moves to the House Floor.
