The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Fernández: He refused to read the bill he wrote. They are so ashamed of it, they couldn’t even read it aloud—because they know it’s shameful to give tax breaks to tanning beds and take away hospital beds. Who likes tanning beds? There’s a certain personality who has a very orange hue about him.

Criticizing Clear Creek School District over spending on construction, teachers demand a pay raise
The district and local union have reached a tentative agreement that would give staff a 1% cost of living adjustment. Teachers want the board to dig into reserves to increase their pay.

Q: Do you see this as a compromise? Rep. Auchincloss: No, because 5 million Americans are going to lose health care... They are exploding the national debt and taking away health care from people while pushing a good economy into a recession. I don't see how this is a win for my constituents.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.
