People love saying they’ve changed. Evidence would be helpful.

I am here in Congress as Democratic Senators prepare to hear live testimony from those hit hardest by the Trump admin’s delegalization campaign—the largest effort in US history to strip protections and status from immigrants, many who have lived here for years.   Over 1 million are already impacted.

I've never woken up in Palermo wishing I were back in America. Not once. Not on hard days. Not on holidays. I miss my people — but hustle culture stole them from me anyway. Full essay: zerlinamaxwell.substack.com/p/mental-hea...

Democrats will take back the House this fall, and maybe even the Senate due in part to a last-minute change in Maine. All they have to do is not screw up for the next two months. President Trump and his party are that unpopular.

Democratic control of Congress won’t be the only change on the Hill in January. We’re already seeing GOP candidates in Michigan, Iowa, and Florida distance themselves from an unpopular president to remain in office. I expect some other Republicans to feel emboldened to do the same.

The cost of diesel fuel is at a record high while Trump is encouraging big tech to continue building enormous data centers in our backyards. These consequences of Trumps’s self-serving polices and my Republican colleagues’ mindless support for them have become the reality for millions of Americans.

Thank you to Al McFarlane of Insight News for covering this important race.

My goal as County Attorney is simple: we target criminals, not entire communities. The answer to crime isn’t to villainize entire groups of minority communities. As a Black man, I’ve experienced this my entire life; unnecessary blame and persecution for the actions of others.

It is barbaric that Americans owe $220 BILLION in medical debt. In the richest country on Earth, healthcare should be a right—not a debt sentence. We must *finally* eliminate medical debt and deliver Medicare for All.

Africa’s future is our future. Honored to have hosted the CBC ALC Africa Braintrust panel to discuss innovation on the continent. As the only African-born member of Congress, I’m proud to work to ensure Africa's future is inclusive and built for the people.

The Hyde Amendment blocks federal funds from being used for abortion care. This means women on Medicaid have to pay for abortion care out-of-pocket, making access to abortion dependent on economic status. The Hyde Amendment is discriminatory, and it’s past time we repeal it.

Settlers are driving Palestinians from their homes in a violent land grab. Sanctions can stop it. I'm introducing legislation—alongside Reps. Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, Escobar—that imposes sanctions against anyone looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza.

Could tell you some things about our neighborhoods, who owns what, who overcharges the people without cars, who owns the housing but don't wanna be antiseptic, know?

This is the answer to nearly question or outrage you may have or suffer. This picture tells the story: the current story and the story of the last 50 years.

Well now Missy, you “protecting your peace?" Or you, "avoiding finishing a conversation you started" because you realized you're in over your head?

Biology is a hard science. It is not unfair nor insensitive to notice this is a man past physical and cognitive prime. Beyond a certain age, a woman cannot bear children. At his age, Trump cannot stay awake or make sound decisions.

Government regulating corporations: TYRANNY. Government regulating libraries, classrooms and reproductive decisions: SMALL GOVERNMENT. That's a fascinating definition of small.

Cover the costs by not paying Israel blackmail money or gifting them bombs.

5.2 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits since the OBBBA. SNAP enrollment now at lowest level since 2019. Experts predict that more people will drop out of the program in the coming months as the 2025 tax and spending law imposes additional changes to SNAP. www.cbsnews.com/news/snap-be...

I watched somebody brag about being unbothered. You gotta say you is, you ain't.

This is a complaint on behalf of working people who do not have time. The pharmacy cut its hours again. After making an appointment, paying for it, having the prescription filled. And the pharmacy is closed. #greed

Is he distancing himself a little bit?

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Like someone plopped a head on dead damn body.

Trump is standing like no human has ever stood before

Hospital: Hmm, how much money we need this month? Ok, well then we gotta slap some high-dollar diagnoses on some folks. #healthcare #Hell

I'm so glad my psychiatrist actually analyzes me with deep context on who I am as a real individual & not just a freaky medical specimen & is actually that knowledgeable about my medical condition that he could get that abusive psych hospital right when they called me schizoaffective bipolar type.

Go live? How about, I am logged on now for a little while?

Some folks swear they’re busy. Half the time they’re just disorganized. Disorganized + Overly-Caffeinated = Disaster
