ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC' FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it? WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

To my fellow Texans: Ask yourself, what have Trump and the Republicans done to deserve five new seats in Texas? Have they lowered the cost of food? Reduced health care bills? Tackled the housing crisis? Addressed student loan debt? Made college more affordable? Ask yourself.

Project Warpspeed was probably the most consequential and unqualified success of Trump's first term, and mRNA vaccines one of the most exciting medical advances of the 21st century. But this time, Trump 2.0's anti-vax HHS Secretary (Kennedy) is cancelling all federal funding for

In all seriousness, what I hear from DC residents is that they’d like the 1 billion dollars Congress cut from the city budget back to make schools better (and the local police better funded). Also, if people don’t like their city government, they vote them out. That’s normally

Trump's people at DHS are referencing here "Which Way, Western Man," a book by white supremacist William Gayley Simpson that was published by an American Neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance. In the book, Simpson argued that Hitler was right and Jews must be killed.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly

Two solid minutes of resting dumb face from Will Cain who apparently couldn’t be bothered to do some googling before this interview. Brutal.

You lie like you breathe, @dhsgov. At BOP’s suggestion, I did follow their protocols, as I have successfully done in the past. BOP made clear that it was DHS that prevented my visit. Here are the receipts.

ICE grabs high school student out walking his dog—leave dog behind in traffic. Agents joked "Thanks to him, we get to drink this weekend"—laughing he just made them $2,500. First tied dog to a tree—then cut collar off & let him run loose in heavy traffic on Sepulveda Blvd.

I hope that someone will file a FOIA about this to confirm whether her suspicions are right. The idea that the federal government might be scheduling enforcement operations to target political opponents would be extremely concerning. More investigation necessary.

This is heartbreaking. In Phoenix, extreme heat is sending unhoused neighbors to the ER with life threatening injuries — and it is happening in Houston and cities across the country. As Co-Chair of the Homelessness Task Force, I am asking Secretary Kennedy and Scott Turner to work

.Gavin Newsom: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x+ the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? Eight of

This is illegal. Trump cannot refuse to spend federal funds that Congress has appropriated. It's basic constitutional law…and common sense. Trump is trying to dismantle the very foundation of our government and democracy. We won’t let it happen.

They're making another hype video, that's what this is for. Count the photographers and cameras and phones, the ones inside security are all Trump people, not press, and there are a bunch of them. This whole occupation is just one big photo op to JD Vance and Stephen Miller

State lawmaker Nicole Collier (D-TX): "Sorry, I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this." Sen. Cory Booker: "That is outrageous and first of all let me tell you something: Rep. Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office."
