If this pilot had a nickel for every time he was shot down in the Iran conflict, he'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Republicans have caused health insurance premiums to skyrocket for millions of hardworking taxpayers.
Why?
They don’t give a damn about the personal finances of the American people.
Americans got trapped in the Middle East after Trump started war with Iran.
Did Trump use every tool he had to get them out?
A new document sent to my office reveals the answer is no. He didn't bother.
The Trump administration has deported 21,000 immigrants to places that the US State Department calls too dangerous for Americans to visit. The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children. https://t.co/VLmLiJQT8G
With Friday's strike, over 200 people killed by U.S. military in alleged drug boat strikes.
The overwhelming consensus of law of war experts, myself included, assess these to be murder because no armed conflict (and a war crime if it were an armed conflict).
Two hundred killed in a systematic policy also raises serious question: crime against humanity.

An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.
What happened outside Delaney Hall yesterday was deeply disturbing and completely unacceptable. It reflects the chaos, cruelty, and vast erosion of basic democratic norms that have become central to Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.
Delaney Hall itself is a moral assault on our state. It should close and should never have opened in the first place. A private, for-profit detention facility should never be allowed to profit from the pain and fear of vulnerable human beings.
Reports from detainees, advocates, faith leaders, and families describe conditions that demand urgent scrutiny, including concerns about medical care, food, retaliation against detainees, and the treatment of people who pose no threat to public safety, many of whom have lived in our country for years and have deep ties to American families and communities.
My friend and colleague Senator Andy Kim went to Delaney Hall to fulfill the responsibility to conduct oversight when credible allegations of abuse and mistreatment arise, and his treatment, including facing pepper spray, should alarm every American, regardless of political party.
We cannot allow fear, intimidation, or the abuse of federal power to become normalized in our democracy. We must reject the false choice between public safety and human dignity. We are a stronger nation when we uphold both.
I will be visiting Delaney Hall this week and working closely with Senator Kim, Governor Sherrill, our congressional delegation, faith leaders, and community partners to inspect conditions inside the facility, assess detainee welfare, examine medical care and safety protocols, and ensure transparency and accountability.
But oversight alone is not enough. Delaney Hall should be closed. And I will continue working to hold both the GEO Group Group and this administration accountable for policies and practices that betray our highest values and diminish who we are as a nation.
At this moment, New Jersey must continue to be a place that stands for justice, compassion, constitutional rights, and the basic dignity of every human being.
This Ebola outbreak has been a slow motion disaster - 900 cases and and now threatening the U.S..
We know how to stop outbreaks like this. But Trump chose not to stop it. He destroyed our global health team, deliberately exposing us.
1/ Here's the story of how this happened.
How do you screen for Ebola at US international airports when the incubation period is 2 to 21 days? Someone could be exposed, then few days late board a plane, and then arrive at US airport with no symptoms and then develop Ebola a week later. Can CDC explain this?
Eastern #DRC now faces a catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the #Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response.
The Ebola Bundibugyo virus has no approved vaccine nor treatment. Stopping this Ebola transmission depends entirely on humanitarian access. Yet ongoing clashes are driving mass displacement, pushing exposed contacts into overcrowded camps and severing critical containment corridors. Frontline workers are risking everything, while attacks on health facilities make tracking cases and their contacts nearly impossible.
We cannot build community trust or isolate the sick while bombs are falling.
We urge all warring parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire to contain this outbreak. To allow us safe and sustained access for medical teams.
We plea to prioritise human survival above everything else.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.
