Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he wants to do in Lebanon what was done in Rafah.
I've seen firsthand how the Netanyahu government razed Rafah to the ground.
No American taxpayer dollars should be used to support this.

How is it Trump's nominee for the IAEA, a key nuclear inspection agency, didn't know that both the IAEA AND Trump's 1st Admin certified that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA?
The JCPOA was preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up & started a war.
Trump promised that "TrumpRx" would lower prescription drug costs. Yet the companies who signed these "deals" kept raising drug prices & grew their profits by $70 BILLION last year.
Another Trump scam that promised to help working people but ended up being a gift to big pharma.
One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.
As I said from day one, this case was never about one man, it was about all of us. If they can deprive him of his rights, they can deprive you of yours.
One year on, they’re still trying but we’re still fighting.
Thousands of Haitians have been living & working in America legally for years, after fleeing violence in Haiti. Stripping away their Temporary Protected Status would send them back into harm’s way.
The House has acted — now the Senate must follow suit.

Trump's Budget Director admitted it: Trump & Republicans CHOSE to give big PERMANENT tax cuts to the rich, while the much smaller cuts for working Americans EXPIRE in 2 years.
Their priorities are clear.
We need a tax code that works for working people, not the super-rich.
If you were outraged when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you should be outraged by what they're doing to students who spoke out against the war in Gaza.
Now they're firing immigration "judges" who refuse to go along with their illegal scheme.
Defend free speech! ⬇️
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a US citizen & journalist, was arrested in Kuwait in March on vague charges meant to silence free speech.
No reporter should be arrested for doing their job.
Release Ahmed, NOW.

4 years ago, then-Rep. Mike Waltz called on President Biden to make clear that Putin was an 'absolute war criminal.'
Today, he refused to even utter those words himself.
As one of Trump's top diplomats, his reversal speaks volumes.
This is another win for our communities in the fight against ICE's mass detention facilities cropping up in our backyards.
In January, I joined hundreds to demand ICE stay out of Washington Co.
I commend @oagmaryland.bsky.social for his tireless work to fight back against this effort.
to halt arms sales to the UAE, until we verify they're no longer arming the RSF. The US must use its leverage to help end this horror.

Today marks 3 years of civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces & the genocidal RSF, which has killed thousands of Sudanese civilians, left millions starving & displaced, & led to untold levels of sexual violence against women & girls.
We must pass mine & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill
[1/2]
Here's your friendly Tax Day reminder that not only did Republicans give massive tax breaks to the rich last year, but Trump’s billionaire Cabinet also axed the IRS’s new free filing tool, so now Americans have to pay more to get their taxes done.

Trump's DOJ is trying to erase the most serious charges against members of the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers for helping plan Jan 6.
These are the people who beat Capitol Police bloody & tried to overturn an election. And the Trump Admin wants to let them get away with it.
www.cnn.com/2026/04/14/p...
Instead of ending his illegal war in Iran, Trump spent the weekend attacking Pope Leo & posting pictures of himself as Christ.
This unhinged man is unfit to be Commander in Chief. He is putting Americans & the world in danger. We must end this war now.
On Yom HaShoah we remember the over 6 million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Today & everyday, we must stand together against antisemitism & ensure that Jewish communities can live & pray without fear.
Never Again.
From calling a documentary on female Holocaust victims "inherently discriminatory" to basing their cuts on AI chatbots, there's no low to which Trump's DOGE goons didn't stoop.
They wreaked havoc, wasted taxpayer $, & made our gov LESS efficient. They must be held accountable.
The “America First,” president wants to cut billions of dollars from American innovation and scientific research.
From NASA to NIH, no one would be spared.
We cannot let this budget pass.

The Trump Admin is rigging our immigration appeals process to hide the real problem in this case: Trump & Rubio's illegal crackdown on freedom of speech.
We must ensure Mahmoud’s rights are respected — if they can take away his rights, all our rights are in danger.
apnews.com/article/mahm...
It’s been 50 days since the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & he still has no plan to pay back the money he stole from American families.
When are they going to see the $1,700 he owes them? Return the money, NOW!
