If it’s true that the President of the United States had no idea that his war cabinet and VP were discussing war plans on a Signal chat that included a journalist, that is astounding ignorance and profound incompetence.

Another horrific shooting and yet another community reeling from the devastation of gun violence. Las Cruces isn’t just our neighbor—we are one deeply connected community. My heart is with the victims, families, and all New Mexicans; El Paso will always stand with you.
Las Cruces police confirm 3 dead, 14 wounded in Las Cruces park 'mass shooting'
Local, state and federal authorities are investigating what the Las Cruces Police Department described as a "mass shooting" overnight at a park.

A new report from @budgetlab.bsky.social confirms the GOP budget steals from the middle class to give to the ultra-rich. While billionaires get massive giveaways, costs go up for the bottom 40%. Republicans are proving they work for their billionaire donors — not for working Americans
70% of Republican budget goes to the top 5%. Meanwhile, costs go up for the bottom 40%.

This administration is disappearing people to other countries without a shred of evidence or any ruling from a judge. It’s authoritarianism on our soil.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

Along with my Democratic colleagues on the Appropritations Committee, I'm urging Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats to stand with House Democrats and the American people, reject this continuing resolution, and force House and Senate Republicans back to the negotiating table.

Again - Republicans control Congress and the White House. If their appropriations bill fails, Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have a short-term, CLEAN CR to give us time to do the appropriations bills. Don’t be fooled by Republicans pointing fingers; they just can’t govern.
Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)
There’s a viable alternative – I invite Republicans to join us and vote for a 30-day continuing resolution which ensures we do not have a government shutdown, and it gives appropriators the time we need to finish our work.
Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)
I voted against the Republican funding bill because not only does it slash programs important to seniors, families and veterans (it guts funding for the PACT Act), but it cedes Congressional authority and gives Elon Musk and Donald Trump unchecked power to continue wrecking the federal government.
