BREAKING: We’re suing Texas A&M University’s Board of Regents to challenge their censorship policy that restricts instruction on race, sexual orientation, and gender. Public universities can't ban ideas they don't like.

Today is Brian Sicknick Day in NJ. Brian was a U.S. Capitol Police Officer who defended the Capitol and our democracy on January 6, 2021, and died after being brutally attacked. 1/2

"Got any ideas for that Beech-Nut Gum ad?" "I was thinking a circus clown and strong man sharing a couple sticks backstage." "And they're in love, right?" "Of course they're in love."

I’ve spoken with Jason Watson. He knew exactly what this would cost him. He gave up his military career to take a brave stand for democracy. Patriotism that only works with obedience isn’t patriotism.

Imagine you had so much food in your house that, no matter have hard they tried, your family couldn't possibly eat it. Then, imagine what would happen if you continued to buy and hoard more food, filling cupboard after cupboard. You'd be considered mentally ill Why is this never applied to money?

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a historic settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital (“Texas Children’s”) that compels the creation of the country’s first-ever Detransition Clinic; requires the hospital to pay $10 million for billing Texas Medicaid for unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions, including by using false diagnosis codes; and compels the termination and revocation of privileges of multiple physicians. After a years-long investigation by the Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, Attorney General Paxton has negotiated a historic settlement that will help protect Texans. Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to “gender-transition” procedures. This Detransition Clinic will help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of “transitioning” them. For the first five years, all services provided through the Detransition Clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and be free of charge to patients.

Trump won only 18 months ago, for the second time. Yes, he’s unpopular now, but the idea that most people have simply shaken the scales from their eyes and finally figured out that he’s bad - well, we have some recent history that might urge us to be cautious about that.

Proportional representation requires zero consideration of race and produces better minority representation, both partisan minorities and racial minorities, than any attempt to draw majority-minority districts ever could.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 3mo ago

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."

Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers. 
Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published Nov. 2025)

We need public hearings in Congress. NOW.   There’s no excuse for saying “no” to the American people.   We deserve to know what is happening in this war waged in our name.

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 4mo ago

Congress must convene immediately to condemn Trump’s horrific threats against tens of millions of people and stop this unconstitutional war. We must prevent Trump from unleashing the catastrophic and illegal violence he is touting.

President Trump threatened on Tuesday to wipe out a “whole civilization,” as he ramped up pressure on Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has set a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern for Iran to end its effective blockade of the strait. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4suBZS8

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
