For years we heard Republicans use scare tactics about the Democrats, claiming that if they win elections they will raise prices and make it harder for us to live. Republicans have done just that, and they no longer have any credibility. I am voting Democrat to lower prices that Republicans raised.

We’re in federal court today to defend over 100 Venezuelan men who the Trump administration deported to a a torture prison in El Salvador last year. Multiple courts have found their removal under the wartime Alien Enemies Act was illegal — these men deserve to finally have their day in court.

She was the youngest woman sentenced to death in the modern era of the death penalty and would be the first woman executed in the state in 200+ years. Tennessee already botched one execution this year. Tell Governor Lee to stop Christa's execution.
