Mitch McConnell has taken more medical leave than most mothers in America get for maternity leave.

BREAKING: Sen. Jon Ossoff tore into President Trump ahead of tonight’s address, calling him “the world’s most famous sore loser” and accusing him of reviving six-year-old grievances over the 2020 election while war escalates abroad and costs rise at home.

Ossoff warned that attacking Georgia’s certified election means attacking Georgia voters themselves, and pointed back to Trump’s recorded demand that state officials “find” the votes he needed after losing.

Today over 100 Democrats voted for the Massie Amendment to zero aid to Israel. My brother @RepBowman & @CoriBush lost their seats for this stand 2 years ago. As a colleague told me, Black martyrdom is normalized in America. Today I want to recognize their courage.

Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected? That is what we are fighting for in the midterms, a return to democracy & fairness and to remove fascist Republicans.

BREAKING: Thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets in Portland, Maine, protesting the death of Joan Sebastian Guerrero following a fatal ICE operation.

The protests are demanding accountability, transparency, and answers as scrutiny over ICE’s use of force continues to grow.

The case is rapidly becoming a national flashpoint in the debate over immigration enforcement and federal oversight.

AOC just tore into Senator Susan Collins over the Maine shooting:

“Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of the transgender community.

Transgender Day of Visibility is about honoring authentic lives and pushing for a world where everyone can thrive exactly as they are. #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #TransJoy

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.

Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.

We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Impeach Trump

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists

The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?

Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law

[NAACP @NAACP]

We’re deeply alarmed by reports of a draft executive order being circulated by pro-Trump activists, which seeks to exploit baseless claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election to justify a national emergency declaration.

This dangerous proposal, coupled with President Trump’s repeated threats to impose voter ID requirements and ban mail-in ballots, is a direct assault on our democracy.

The Constitution explicitly grants the power to regulate elections to state legislatures and Congress, NOT the president.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Thank you for standing up and leading with love.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history.

Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.
