My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.
It’s time to fight back.

Authoritarians find education threatening because it enables people to learn how the world is made and dream how it could be different. The reconciliation bill is a strike against our freedom to question, learn, and choose our fates. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Should Doom the GOP. But It Will Doom Many Americans Too
Trump and the GOP will celebrate its likely passage with a pyrotechnic display of lies, to help them “justify” more tax cuts and other benefits for the rich and powerful.
