For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.
BREAKING: Hamas will release all 20 living hostages this weekend, AP sources say, as Israelis will withdraw from majority of Gaza.

The malignant clown show shut the government down. And their behavior has been increasingly unhinged ever since. Sad.

Just dropped a new episode of @USofSmallbiz that you won’t want to miss. I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with @ChrisRuddyNMX, the founder and CEO of @NEWSMAX, to talk about how he built one of America’s top media networks from the ground up. From starting as a

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

Republicans want to double your healthcare costs. Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people. Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense. And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

New day, same fake story. 👋🏽 Donald Trump is an embarrassing, racist, and corrupt liar. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.-IO
Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional. Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.
Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act? TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

Leaders of Congress' Asian, Jewish and Black Caucuses slam Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth for saying "no more beardos" in the military. "Hegseth’s appalling comments are an insult to the millions of Sikh, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Americans who have answered the call to serve."

Whenever @IlhanMN is in town she loves to stop by community events, so today we were lucky enough to get to visit the DFL’s Senate District 62 picnic in Powderhorn Park.

It is outrageous that the United States spends more on its military than the next 9 countries combined. Imagine if we stopped spending half of the nearly $1 trillion Pentagon budget and invested it in healthcare, education, and housing instead.

“I certainly believe that AIPAC is losing its grip on members of Congress” In an exclusive interview with TRT World, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said AIPAC is less influential in US politics than it once was, and that terms such as “occupation,” “apartheid” and “Nakba” are now part

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Why? Who told him to do it? He says on that same body cam footage: the Deputy Attorney

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created. They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care. NO.

Insane. The American people are sick and tired of the same playbook. This encapsulates everything wrong with Washington.
A senior Dem staffer is discouraging Democrats from coming out against regime change in Venezuela, congressional sources tell me. The staffer is using the Bush-era Iraq line, arguing that opposing Trump/Rubio's regime change amounts to supporting Maduro.

Donald Trump forced out a respected U.S. Attorney because they wouldn't go along with Trump’s demands for political prosecutions. Less than a week later, his inexperienced handpicked successor brings charges against a member of Trump's enemies list. In my almost six years as

From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon. No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously
NEW: President Trump says he offered the head of Somalia to take Rep. Ilhan Omar back home. “I suggested maybe he’d like to take her back… He said, ‘I don’t want her.’” https://t.co/AKFBhEmbfV
