We are hearing gripping & heartbreaking stories of kids being held in federal custody for months on end. I’m demanding HHS investigate the prolonged & inhumane detention of minors at unmonitored & unlicensed facilities—putting children at incredible risk.
THIS is the Social Security election.
Republicans are calling the program a scam. Democrats are fighting to strengthen the program and make sure it's around for generations to come.
Senators elected this fall WILL decide the future of Social Security.
Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen.
He’ll steal your tax dollars.
He’ll steal your healthcare.
He’ll even steal your pen.
I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.
For 91 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of the middle class, helping millions of Americans retire with the security and dignity they earned.
Now, D.C. Republicans are scheming to privatize it, gut benefits, and hand billions to Wall Street. Social Security belongs to the American workers who earned it. House Democrats will always fight to protect it.
As Social Security turns 91, we’re at a crossroads for the future of the program:
Democrats have plans to expand Social Security by making billionaires pay their fair share.
Republicans have plans to cut and privatize Social Security.
Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits.
Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @SenWhitehouse
If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits.
There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.
Criminals & illegals in the White House as well. Russia is their allies it seems & not America or Ukraine. Talk about illegals coming to America. Melanie & her family should be researched as well as others. Talk about hypocrisy and security risks as well #Trump#Russia#Putin
American actor Morgan Freeman on Trump:
"Someone is sitting in the White House leading us to disaster. I personally cannot understand how someone convicted of 34 felonies, like Donald Trump, can be president of the U.S. It makes no sense to me."
If Putin wants war so badly that he has now resorted to yet another political manipulation with his sham elections, to the point that he was afraid to allow even a single party that said at least something about the need for peace on the ballot – and removed the Yabloko party – then his priorities are crystal clear.
Putin’s plan is not particularly complicated. He wants to create the impression that Russians support the war – every party still permitted to run is against peace. And then, after the so-called elections, he plans an additional rapid mobilization of several hundred thousand Russians by the end of the year, plus just as many more next year. This will be on top of the recruitment they are trying to carry out through contract enlistment.
It's happening. Trump just hinted that he might declare a national security emergency for elections.
If they can't win, the elections, they will stop them. That's how far MAGA will go.
We live in very strange times.
The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.
Newsom: "That $400 million Qatari plane? That's not a $400 million gift. It cost you $936 million. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency. That has happened on our watch ... this Board of Peace in the Middle East? That's so he can get a piece of the Middle East."
The White House decided there was a threat so great that Donald Trump was secretly moved to another plane but they never told the passengers on Air Force One. Cowards look out for themselves. Leaders look out for their people.

Yet more wasted time and tax payer money #Trump squanders with a war going on, Americans less healthy, secure and poorer. Trump only cares about Trump and his billionaire buddies & family. Worst President in USA history imo & corrupt, cold human being. 🤬👎
The gutting of the Voting Rights Act is a deliberate attempt to undermine Black voting power. It’s infuriating and wrong. We must show up strong in November to take back the House, stop the SAVE Act and instead, finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
ICE detain teenage U.S. citizen woman for hours—say her legal documents are "fake."
Agents then took her 2 minor sisters into back of unmarked car—including 4 year old.
She had social security card & drivers license on her—agents handcuffed her & booked her in detention anyway.
Her 15 year old sister said she initially had difficulty getting into the federal building because she was a minor and only had a school identification card.
She said agents then still did not immediately accept the birth certificate as proof of citizenship.
Brittany Ramirez Corona was arrested when she came to pick up her husband's car—after he was detained earlier.
Incident occurred on Tidewater Drive in Norfolk, Virginia.
