People in the #FightingFifth and across the country need relief from the housing crisis, but Trump didn't even bother to show up and sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act because he'd rather focus on his voter suppression efforts, the SAVE act.
Housing affordability is a crisis, and I will continue fighting for you—even when your president bails on you.
.@RepAlGreen speaks to the media following his removal from the State of the Union address: "Tonight, I wanted him to have a person confront him and let him know that Black people aren't apes."
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?
In a Trump-Musk economy where the price of eggs is at an all-time high, Republicans are placing one more burden: $130 for a passport just to register to vote.
Their so-called "SAVE" Act is a modern-day poll tax and an assault on our #VotingRights.
My friend @CoryBooker got into #GoodTrouble for over 25 hours calling out Trump's cruel agenda. The previous record was held by Strom Thurmond protesting the Civil Rights Act & was broken by a man bringing us together, not tearing us apart. This is OUR Civil Rights Movement yall!
Booker is still going
Sen. Cory Booker, who has been speaking for more than 15 hours on the floor, has relayed to his staff that he is ‘feeling good,” according to one of his aides per @mkraju
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. " - Congressman John Lewis
Thank you @SenBooker for getting into #GoodTrouble!
As the first Black woman DPG chair, I set out to build a party that wasn't just present but powerful. That’s exactly what we did. I remain committed to electing Democrats, and fighting for a future where every Georgian has a voice and stake in our democracy.
Let’s Win Yall!!!
