If Trump could have paid our TSA agents all along, why'd he wait 45 days to do so? The answer: He wanted to hold TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & others hostage to try & get another blank check for his lawless ICE operation. He failed. The House should pass our bipartisan bill, NOW.

While the Iran war rages on & prices keep rising, Republicans have decided to use this pivotal weekend to try to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. They're scared of running on their failed policies, so they want to rig the midterms in their favor.
Not one more dime for an illegal war of choice that is making us less safe. The best way to protect our troops, end the killing of school children and civilians, reduce skyrocketing oil and gas prices, and stop wasting billions of taxpayer dollars is to cut off the funding.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Katz said Israel would use the "Rafah" model in Lebanon. Earlier this month, the Trump Admin rushed a sale of over 20,000 bombs to the Netanyahu gov. Today, I asked the official who signed off on the transfer if it complies with US policy & intl law. He wouldn't answer.
Trump's Budget Director admitted it: Trump & Republicans CHOSE to give big PERMANENT tax cuts to the rich, while the much smaller cuts for working Americans EXPIRE in 2 years. Their priorities are clear. We need a tax code that works for working people, not the super-rich.
Instead of ending his illegal war in Iran, Trump spent the weekend attacking Pope Leo & posting pictures of himself as Christ. This unhinged man is unfit to be Commander in Chief. He is putting Americans & the world in danger. We must end this war now.
Two weeks ago, I told Todd Blanche, his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund was a pure theft of taxpayer dollars. That reality seems to be catching up with them. While they may be signaling an end to their corrupt scheme, we can't stop pushing until it's outlawed all together.
One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. As I said from day one, this case was never about one man, it was about all of us. If they can deprive him of his rights, they can deprive you of yours. One year on, they’re still trying but we’re still fighting.
As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity. As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.
Next week, Republicans will have another chance to vote with us to end the war in Iran. @sanders.senate.gov & I will also call for a vote to stop the sale of US taxpayer-funded weapons to the Netanyahu gov, which has used them in violation of international law. We must end these wars.
Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation. Our democracy can only function when we resolve our differences peacefully. I am grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and that no one was seriously injured last night.
Fun watching the Portland Fire offense continue to build and flow. -Dive from the wing, Bridget Carleton fakes a screen and flies off a flare at the top. Fever able to switch and recover. -Cut from the right wing opens up space, could be P&R but Carleton attacks 1v1

This episode was my pick and I went a little outside of our wheelhouse by picking a noir flick from 1955. I’m proud of this one, and I love this film so much. The opening hooked me good, so before you check out our new @cultfilmclub.com episode, see if this opening grabs you the same way…
Corporate landowners are spraying glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, all over Maine's woodlands. We're told it's safe. They used to tell us DDT and PFAS were safe, too. If the corporate landowners wouldn't drink this, why the hell are they making us drink it? #mepolitics
