Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Happy 50th birthday Katie! My gothic style life advisors gave me great advice in the 90’s which still holds true today- when creepy people are coming your way, bark as loudly as possible. Also, make time to snuggle with the ones you love. You never know when it will be the last. 🎂🥳

Nearly all National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles are demobilizing, Governor Newsom demands those remaining be released.

“As former governors, we counted on our courageous National Guard troops to fight wildfires, respond to floods, & support public health.”“Federalizing the Guard without state consent not only breaks with tradition—it jeopardizes the very missions the residents of our states depend on.”

We’re suing the Trump Administration over its illegal attempt to defund Planned Parenthood in the reconciliation law. Federal funds don't pay for abortions. This is purely retaliation against Planned Parenthood that will wreak havoc on healthcare services across the nation.

I urge the court to order an immediate end to the Trump Admin’s firing rampage. The illegal ransacking of federal agencies and the mass firing of federal workers that make these agencies run has sown tremendous chaos, instilled distrust among the American people and caused deep harm to our country.
