Over 50 years ago, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act with a unanimous vote in the Senate.
Senators banded together across party lines because doing our part to help species survive and reach recovery must be a bipartisan cause.

Keep reminding people that Trump and Miller are deporting people here LEGALLY, who came here "the right way"---asylum seekers, visa holders, legal workers, etc---because they aim to remove as many black and brown people from America as possible while deterring others from coming.

Republicans in Congress have handed ICE more than $100 billion in funding, but ICE has failed to pay its medical providers since October.
This is unacceptable. Hospitals and doctors are owed millions while people in detention are being denied possibly lifesaving treatment.

And that's precisely the issue the MAGA GOP both here and in the Other Washington have with it: it accurately counts all the votes and shows that the MAGA agenda of raising our costs while cutting billionaires' taxes isn't popular.

Donald Trump abandoned his three eldest children when they were pre-teen kids--to run off with one of his mistresses.
Of course, he can't comprehend how important it is for Karoline Leavitt to be with her children.

Don the Con Trump told a crowd he's "very upset" that Karoline Leavitt loves her own children more than she loves him. He said that out loud, about a grown woman's newborn baby, like losing to an infant was a personal insult. (Note: This guy doesn't make jokes.)
