“America’s democracy is not guaranteed— it is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it” - Vice President Kamala Harris

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

These accusations about the Democratic Party fall flat especially when this administration is actively weaponizing our government to target political opponents, dehumanizing the vulnerable and marginalized, has abandoned working people and families, and more.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

"If you want the American experiment to end, if you want to have a society crumble and collapse because it's led by people who hate it, that's all the Democrats can offer — the politics of self-hatred, self-loathing, and self-destruction," says @StephenM.

"If you believe in the Golden Age, if you believe that America's best days are still ahead, there's only one choice that you have to make — and that's to support the Republican Party."

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Donald Trump vowed vengeance and retribution on the campaign trail and now we are witnessing this administration target a sitting member of Congress. This is deeply troubling and a reminder of how far they are willing to go to wield more power and incite fear in our country.

Instead of working across the aisle to reform our immigration system and ensure the law is enforced fairly and humanely— this administration continues to justify their callousness and carry out the implementation of their extreme and draconian immigration measures.

Homan: "Over 60% of everybody we arrest is a criminal. But if you're in the country illegally, you're certainly not off the table. If we find you, we're gonna arrest and deport you."

Happy Indigenous Day!

Indigenous rights are human rights and human rights are Indigenous rights.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day we honor and commemorate the heritage and traditions of the indigenous community and acknowledge how their contributions have shaped our country in various ways.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

We also continue to address the longstanding inequities and injustices that are perpetuated against their communities and remain unwavering in our work to build a nation that is more free, more tolerant, and diverse and where all people are treated with dignity and respect.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

While this administration continues to justify their draconian cuts to vital programs— millions of Americans especially the vulnerable and marginalized are paying the price.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

“I seriously worry for our families because I do think it feels very life and death.”

Overwhelmed by some of the same economic challenges as the people seeking their assistance, including skyrocketing costs of groceries and fuel, food bank officials say they are nearing a breaking point — and many blame federal budget cuts. https://t.co/h1edqIMuIF

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Instead of addressing the affordability crisis and providing breathing room for working people and families— he imposes tariffs that have cost over $1,400 on average for US households and escalated tensions in the Middle East which has lead to even higher cost on basic goods.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

President Trump campaigned in 2024 on promises to lower Americans' cost of living, vowing to push gasoline prices below $2 a gallon and to deliver 2% mortgage rates. Two years later, consumers face sharply higher costs for many of the necessities he pledged to make more affordable. https://t.co/0jOVTJ4Yej

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Democrats are focused on addressing the issues most pressing to the American people and put a check on this administration and their cronies.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Republicans have emboldened Trump at every turn and have passed legislation that has benefited the powerful and privileged instead of working people and families, have attempted to disenfranchise voters with the SAVE Act, and more.

We need new leadership in Congress.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

And yet this administration barred certain media outlets from the White House, weaponized the DOJ and FBI to target political opponents, have encouraged the passage of the SAVE Act to disenfranchise voters, and more.

That doesn’t sound like you care about freedom.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

America is the greatest experiment in freedom ever tried. FIGHT FOR IT! 🇺🇸

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Americans don’t want ICE at our election sites.

Donald Trump would rather place blame on the Ukrainian President instead of taking responsibility for his escalatory conflict in the Middle East with Iran.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: Trump says Ukraine should get a new president as he blames Zelenskyy for U.S. diesel prices. https://t.co/mDNJtplmPF

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

In November— let us remind this administration that the power is with the people and we will not be deterred by their antics.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

This administration has been laying the groundwork to undermine a free and fair election by encouraging Republican-led states to gerrymander and deny equal representation, attempting to pass the SAVE Act to disenfranchise voters, and intimidate voters with “poll watchers.”

[Lauren Underwood @LaurenUnderwood]

$75 billion more for ICE. $186 BILLION cut from SNAP.

That's the trade Republicans made in the Big Ugly Bill: detention centers OVER dinner tables.

When we win back the majority, we can reverse every one of those SNAP cuts for our hard-working Illinois families.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Republicans agenda if they maintain a majority in both chambers of Congress:

More tax breaks for the wealthy.
More cuts to social safety nets.
More funding for ICE to incite fear and chaos.
Escalation in the Middle East.
Higher cost and higher unemployment and stagnant wages.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Mullin: Saying there have been many ICE involved shootings is absolutely false. You guys don't cover all our other arrests, just these ones

(There have been at least 25 shootings involving immigration officers in Trump's second term)

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

We are not witnessing the enforcement of existing law.

Americans are witnessing acts of violence being perpetrated by ICE agents in various communities across our country and this administration continuing to justify these heinous and draconian enforcement measures.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Markwayne Mullin: "No, we're not putting a pause on enforcement. I'm sorry, we're not. In fact, I'm not sorry ... we will not stop doing our job."

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

Dehumanization and brutalization is not immigration enforcement and it is despicable that this administration continues to justify their draconian policies.

[Democratic Politics @KHDemocrat]

This administration has allowed for ICE to run rampant and incite fear and chaos in various communities across the country and we can no longer tolerate these lawless and violent acts that have unfolded as a result.

Reporter on ICE shooting in Marble Hill NYC: He was shot while inside his vehicle. The NYPD says he's now at a hospital. When we showed up there was a rush of ICE officers. Then they all left in a hurry suddenly.
