The absolute lack of humanity one must to posses to abandon, let alone detain, the very Afghans we took in after they stood up to the Taliban alongside U.S. armed forces. It’s shameful. These brave individuals are heroes and patriots—not illegals or criminals.
Both of these military bases were used to house Afghan evacuees after the Fall of Kabul. With ~12,000 Afghans slated to be stripped of legal status on Tuesday, the facilities could now be used to detain these same allies before they’re deported back to the Taliban regime.
New Jersey’s Congressional Democrats stand united in opposition of the Trump Administration’s decision to create a detention facility for undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Republicans just passed a rescission package that claws back $9 billion in federal funding for NPR, PBS, their member stations, & foreign aid programs. Because nothing says "fiscal responsibility" like gutting education, culture, & global aid while billionaires enjoy tax breaks.
BREAKING: $9 billion rescission package gets final passage in the House 216-213. This was close. Did not vote: Three members - 2 Rs, 1 D No votes: 2 Rs.
Republicans Big Ugly Bill will cut food assistance for over 1 million veterans and Medicaid for nearly 1 in 10 veterans. Our veterans put their lives on the line for our country. Now, thanks to my colleagues and Trump’s VA Secretary Doug Collins, we can't even give them basic…
Please take extra precautions, remain indoors, and stay safe. I will be monitoring the situation closely for updates.

This vote will reveal who in Congress wants to expose predators targeting children, and who wants to protect them. Every member should vote to release the list. But something tells me @HouseGOP will side with the predators.
House Democratic leadership appears to now be backing Rep. Ro Khanna’s measure to force the release of the Epstein files:
Less than a week after Grok AI literally called itself ‘MechaHitler’ now the Defense Department will use it to make strategic decisions. Over and over, Pete Hegseth has proven that he is unfit to defend all Americans. After leaking classified details on Signal to halting aid to…
The U.S. Department of Defense will begin using Grok, the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI that came under fire just last week after launching into an antisemitic rant and invoking Adolf Hitler. wapo.st/3GH1Ynn
Some Americans question whether the Earth is round. While they may be asking questions in "good faith," we shouldn't indulge unfounded conspiracies with our time and resources.
Americans have questions about geoengineering and contrails. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government. This ends today.
My deepest sympathies are with those affected by the flooding in Kerrville, Texas. I'm particularly devastated to hear about the young girls from Camp Mystic. As a parent, the pain I know those girls' parents feel is visceral. Thank you to the first responders for their…
“I had about 200 kids — scared, cold, and terrified. Probably the worst day of their lives.” Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin shares how he helped save 165 people during the devastating Texas floods at Camp Mystic.
I’ve been on the floor of the House for over 12 hours. @RepJeffries has been speaking for more than 5 hours straight. THIS is what standing up for Americans looks like. All we need is 4 Republicans with courage to join us to prevent these devastating Medicaid cuts. We’re not…
Jeffries: "16 members of the House Republican conference who just a few days ago made clear on the record that they will not support devastating cuts to Medicaid -- all we need are 4 Republicans from this group to join us and we can stop these devastating cuts to Medicaid. Join…
🚨OUTSIDE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON’S OFFICE!! Members of Congress who are also doctors have staged a protest in white coats to warn Americans that this horrible bill will close hospitals, slash care, and kill patients. Republicans will destroy lives. 🔥🔥🔥
It’s not only the poor or uninsured who will get hurt by Medicaid cuts. If hospitals close, no one gets care. Rep. @RepHerbConaway highlights the widespread impacts of the “Big Bad Budget Bill.”
As we continue to debate this bill, here’s a quick quiz to help out any Republican colleagues who may be unsure how to vote. Spoiler alert: I’ll be voting no.

The Democratic Doctors Caucus gathered outside Speaker Johnson’s Office to tell the American people the truth that House Republicans don’t want you to know: Medicaid cuts will kill Americans.
Thank you, @RepHerbConaway for the recognition! Honored to serve, @FTHSPatriots 🙏🏾 @MinCulturaPe #Peru 🇵🇪 #TumiUSA
Health care decisions should be between a doctor and their patient. Period. This decision continues to put women’s access to reproductive health care at serious risk. There is no room for politics in the exam room.

To call this bad is an understatement. This could be deadly for millions of children. There's a reason we don't hear about kids getting Hepatitis anymore: we have vaccines that prevent them from getting it. RFK now wants to undo that. The U.S. needs to take health…
The new vaccine advisory committee handpicked by RFK Jr. will examine the cumulative effect of the childhood vaccine schedule and reevaluate hepatitis B immunization recommendations. wapo.st/4l3ZSwW
