The House voted 214-208 to pass a war powers resolution directing the president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran. This is the second time the House has voted to rein in the president’s war powers over Iran.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal:
“[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Today’s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president.
It’s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court — but it just doesn't work that way:

This bill that Republicans dragged through the Senate will take funding from public media which is especially crucial in rural areas, cede our leadership on the world stage, and undermine future budget agreements.
This was shortsighted and it is going to hurt the American people.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something.
Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files — in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendment⬇️
