We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

WATCH: โTodd Blanche is committing a fraud on Congress. This document is a sham.โ @SenBlumenthal warns the insurrectionist slush fund is NOT dead, and @SenThomTillis & @JohnCornyn are falling for another Trump/Blanche lie.
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
She cycles around, sets up her bench and a small table with coffee and cake somewhere, and chats with complete strangers. The goal is to strengthen the neighborhood and combat loneliness, particularly among seniors.
๐ฅ Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."
Whitehouse on Blanche: "Today is a sad and embarrassing day"

SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY, and MEDICAID IS OUR RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE.
Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: "There's always a glimmer of hope that somebody will do the right thing. I hoped that it would be John Cornyn, because he has been such a great advocate for putting sex trafficking rings away. To see that this is how he's going to end his legacy is really depressing."
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Last night, @governorferguson.bsky.social made a formal request for an expedited emergency declaration for the Spokane fires. Our ENTIRE delegation is urging the President to approve that request immediately. All of us are working together to make sure Eastern & Central WA get more help ASAP.
No money for healthcare or universal basic income but hey trillion dollars wars, billions for ICE, billions upon billions of welfare for corporations and millions for putting fake gold on shit, hundreds of millions for a ballroom and bunker, 2 billion for a mob of traitors.
We just got back from Delaney Hall and we can confirm that Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo died on Saturday while in ICEโs custody. More on what we heard today at Delaney:
This short-term funding bill blocks a corrupt policy that would allow Trump to hold even more federal grants hostageโand it closes House Republicans' loophole to pull funding for other agencies to give to Border Patrol. My full statement.โฌ๏ธ

Sanders: Look at what Mamdani is doing and contrast that with Trump. Trump cuts funding for child care. Mamdani thinks we should have free, universal child care. Who do you think is on the side of the American people on these issues?

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

This kind of harassment is not accidental. There are no consequences for the perpetrators. There is no restorative justice for the victims. Defund and abolish ICE. It's un-American.

Trump's immigration apparatus is abusing children & even sending children not in their custody to abusers including 3yr old Orlรญn Josuรฉ Hernandez Reyes who was beaten to death after ICE deported his mom.

We must relay these stories to friends & neighbors & shine a light on the depravity. Don't let friends be ignorant about what's going on. Prisciliano's illness was survivable if he had had adequate care. But Trump's ICE apparatus it's a moneymaking venture for himself & his billionaire buddies.
๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐จ Prisciliano Trejo, aged 29 becomes the 50th person to die in #ICE custody. He was denied medical care until it was too late. His family was denied the ability to see him when he was finally sent to the hospital. This thread is one you must spend time on. We cannot ignore the atrocities!
Former government official: This is a moral question. A father was told his daughter would be taken from him. People are dying in our governmentโs custody with no one watching, no one accountable. This is not the United States that we were raised to believe in.
Sen. SMITH: A Minnesotan has been held in detention since December. Sheโs here legally and literally wasting away, but unable to get the medical care or legal advice they need. Does this sound familiar? Medical expert: Itโs not uncommon. Former official: And itโs exacerbated.
