"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.
Are you kidding me? People can barely afford rent, much less a mortgage. And the President is outright saying he doesn't care if families can purchase their own home. Americans deserve a Congress and a President who pass laws to lower costs and HELP families buy a home.
Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes."
I voted NO on taking up the funding package before the Senate. Funding for DHS must be split off so we can keep working on common-sense reforms that all Americans support. Talks are happening to do that—and that's good. But we need a real deal locked in first.
"The sweetest person you can imagine." That's how a veteran patient described Alex Pretti - the man we all saw federal agents murder in broad daylight. Trump's VA Secretary initially responded by blaming that horrific killing on Minnesota officials. VA workers deserve better.
Republicans gave ICE a blank check, funding untrained federal agents who've been attacking, detaining, & even killing Americans. Republicans have talked for years about government overreach—well, here it is. Now's the time for senators to prove they care about the Constitution.
The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH. Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.
We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents. And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it. That cannot be how things work in this country.
This President is a shameful disgrace. But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable. In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.
Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."
Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA tax credits pushed thousands in WA state off of their health care plans. The same Republicans who said keeping health care costs from skyrocketing was too expensive didn’t bat an eye when they made tax breaks for billionaires permanent.
Democrats are ready to avert a GOP shutdown. But Republicans are threatening to block the 5 bills we all agree on. Why? After people have been shot & killed in broad daylight, they're insisting ICE—which they admit has enough money—needs MORE money without any new strings attached.
The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.
There's a clear path forward: 1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open.   2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP.   Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.
Reminder: Republicans voted to give ICE a $75 billion slush fund, a budget larger than most militaries. Every Democrat voted NO. We need immigration enforcement that is sane, upholds our rights, treats people with dignity and basic respect, and focuses on violent criminals.
Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE. ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.
