Tomorrow the Senate will hold votes on two bills: The status quo bill from the Republicans, which will lead to a shutdown. And Democrats' plan to prevent a shutdown while avoiding a catastrophe in healthcare costs.
Following a court decision against the administration, NY elected officials were trying to inspect the appalling conditions of the ICE holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza. It is their duty to observe and report on unsafe conditions. Release them now!
America is meant to be a bastion of free speech. Everybody across the political spectrum should be speaking out to stop what’s happening to Jimmy Kimmel. This is about protecting democracy. This must go to court.
BREAKING: We just released the Democratic plan to avoid a shutdown and the incoming Republican healthcare crisis. Republicans want the same old status quo of rising costs and declining healthcare. We're fighting back with a real plan that addresses the American people's needs.
JUST NOW: Former Director of the CDC Dr. Susan Monarez blew the whistle on RFK Jr.’s horrific vaccine policy, making changes to kids vaccines WITHOUT a lick of science or data to back that move.
Donald Trump is ordering Republicans not to even bother talking with Democrats about the budget. The American people know it would be him shutting the government down.
We will never forget those who were murdered that day, nor those who died from injuries in the years since. We support the families who continue to mourn loved ones, and salute the brave first responders who ran into danger. We keep them in our hearts. We continue to fight for them.
