Democrats brought a war powers resolution to the floor to rein in Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran.

Republicans failed to uphold the Constitution and stop Trump’s destruction. They failed the American people.

I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.👀

Democrats are campaigning as if the 2026 election will be fair. That’s a mistake | Austin Sarat Trump’s remarks and Project 2025’s proposals have made the plan clear. Democrats must focus on stopping it

The U.S. "will have elections this year, but they will not be free and fair."

“'There’s no chance in the world that Donald Trump is going to allow himself to lose in the 2026 elections, because that would be the end of his ability to wield total power.'"

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

According to the regime, "interest" in the Epstein files has dropped dramatically since Trump started his unauthorized war.
Really?
Not for me. Anyone else?
Do not let him distract attention from this. That was the whole point of his war. #Epstein is the key to it ALL.

I may have missed it before, but I'm just now seeing that EPA appears to have formally eliminated its Office of Children's Health Protection. Interestingly, I'm not seeing any press coverage of this. So, either people think it's not a big deal or they missed it, too.

Republicans support Trump’s ongoing coup against our Constitution. GOP won’t defund his personally pardoned criminal untrained army that courts found violated the Constitution over 4,400 times (and counting). They refuse to impeach him for bombings, raiding the treasury, racist posts, and emoluments

Yeah, given the pattern of Trump toadies screaming their way through the hearings, this is essential. (Though a lot of this will depend on the committee chair, and all are GOP now of course.)

Tillis, like Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, & anyone else ostensibly still a "moderate" & "pro-democracy" GOP Senator, is welcome to caucus with the Democrats, giving them control of the Senate & actually fighting back against the authoritarianism, at any time.

The SAVE Act and its more extreme version, the SAVE America Act, could shut millions of eligible citizens out of our democracy.

"This morning the online Smart Wall Map, which depicts completed, on-going, awarded, and planned Border Security Wall projects from the US Department of Homeland Security, has been updated to “wall off” nearly the entirety of the Big Bend region from the Rio Grande via over 400 miles of wall construction. The entire region – and beyond. There are very few exceptions.
So far beyond, in fact, that the current plan effectively walls off the public from the entirety of the famed Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande, Rio Grande Wild & Scenic River, a currently accessible and protected river corridor managed by the National Park Service. This sacred river corridor is one of, if not THE crown jewel of river recreation in the American Southwest, and is one of the last remaining wild and pristine stretches of river in Texas."

Whatever BS reason they're giving for doing this, you can bet it won't be closed off to mining and logging interests.

Let EVERYONE you know, who enjoys this natural treasure. It might just be the thing that gets the "I don't do politics" folks off their butts.
