I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening.
Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

Slashing Medicaid is not fiscal responsibility — it is moral failure. 1 in 5 Americans are at risk of losing their healthcare.
BREAKING: Democrats on the Budget Committee just took down Trump's budget which cuts Medicaid and food assistance to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
This budget is disastrous and cruel and we stopped it. Republicans have no mandate to rip away health care and food assistance from families.
Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?
Reporter: Why would Americans feel anxiety if they're already Americans?
Because due process and habeas corpus grant us the right to prove it. Even an American needs a hearing to prove they're American if the cop doesn't believe them.
Do you see how this works?
This decision by the Trump administration is a moral failure and betrays our Afghan allies who risked their lives and their families' safety to help U.S. service members. They may now face deportation and persecution by the Taliban. Utterly disgraceful.
Reminder that selling out to a wannabe dictator might just make you miserable.
Going to keep documenting history, even when they cut my mic.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE says CONGRESS is "not my lane"
If you defund Planned Parenthood, you're defunding breast exams, pregnancy testing, prenatal and postpartum care, STD testing, birth control, sex education, vaccines, mental health care, I could go on and on.
It's not about abortion, it's about cutting resources for women.

Republicans can’t even defend their cruel & partisan cuts to SNAP. They’ve had nothing to say during the first 3 hrs of this markup. While pushing work requirements for vulnerable Americans- most R’s have left Cmte and gone to bed for the night while Dems are still here fighting to feed people.
It is indisputable at this point that death is imminent for hundreds of thousands in Gaza. Trump is allowing the Netanyahu government to continue to wage an unrestrained assault while starving an entire population. This is an unrelenting moral failure and the US cannot remain complicit.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
Trump's right hand man Stephen Miller said they are planning to suspend habeas corpus — meaning they can snatch anyone off the street without a reason or trial. This country was founded on the basic principle that people cannot be detained without due process. This is a major warning signal.
A grant in Vermont that helped train 50+ women and nonbinary people each year in construction and renewable energy was cut by DOGE, alongside two dozen others across the country.
And Trump expects us to believe he's going to grow the workforce and create jobs? Give me a break.
You remember all that talk from Republicans saying we were lying about their plans to cut Medicaid?
Well, we weren't lying. We knew it was always their plan to rip away Medicaid from millions of Americans.
Removing highly qualified people from the military does not make our country safer.
Under Trump, ICE has become a means to carry out political arrests and silence those who disagree with his authoritarian agenda — now including members of Congress and mayors standing up for their constituents and conducting oversight.
You will not intimidate us into silence.
DHS confirms to @axios.com that they are considering arresting Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver and Rob Menendez.
Watson Coleman's office says they reviewed the body cam footage and that it proves "nobody 'assaulted' any agents."

In the United States, we guarantee free speech. No one here will lose their rights and freedom for publishing an op-ed. This is a win for the rule of law.
