Please, let’s make this happen! The Center for Biological Diversity is pushing to have Trump’s image taken off the 2026 national park passes and they’ve filed a lawsuit to do it. Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, which requires the

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy. Corruption on display.

Trump is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants of all legal statuses into for-profit detention centers, denying them legal access, and subjecting them to awful conditions. 200+ judges have ruled against his actions, and I’m introducing legislation to fix this broken system.

I’m horrified by the number of deaths in ICE detention since Trump took office. This admin is funneling immigrants to private, for-profit prisons that put money over safety. I will continue fighting for increased oversight, accountability, and justice. www.newsweek.com/democrat-pra...

Leading Democrat calls rise in ICE detention deaths under Trump "stunning"

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

RIP Lenny Wilkins, one of 5 in the Basketball HOF as both player and coach, and an all-around mensch. Before the Jazz came to Utah, I was a Sonics fan (born in Seattle); Wilkins led the team to the NBA Finals in 1978 and to a championship in '79. He was so cool www.seattletimes.com/sports/sonic...

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before. It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

Prices since Trump took office: -Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7% -Utilities: ⬆️ 11% -ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26% -Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3% Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

House Republicans simply don’t want to work anymore. Mike Johnson sent the House home more than six weeks ago. Democrats have been in D.C., ready to negotiate an end to this Republican Shutdown that saves health care for the American people. Where the hell are Republicans?

Trump, after multiple lawsuits, is still refusing to pay out full SNAP benefits to the 42 million Americans who rely on this assistance to stay fed. It sounds like a complicated situation, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. Here’s a quick explainer. ⬇️

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Proud to have the support of Tribal leaders on my executive order to set a new foundation for our state’s relations with sovereign Tribal Nations. My administration is committed to respecting the sovereignty of Tribal governments and building our partnership with Washington’s tribes.
