My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Since Trump and his aides keep lying about grocery prices, here are the facts: Food inflation in Biden's last year: 1.8 pct. Food inflation since Trump began his trade war: 3.1 pct. Trump has nearly doubled grocery inflation. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices
Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

Why does drump wear MAGA hats when he is representing our country, even in foreign countries. Because he is not the people‘s president, he serves only his minions. We are screwed.

NEW — Trump, who has fomented violence his entire political career, now claims that political violence is done mainly by “the left.” It’s not true. In fact, scientific research says the exact opposite. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich. Republicans passed this knowing people will die. They know people will lose their health care. They know children will go hungry. They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
