Today, SCOTUS ruled that the Trump admin can revoke TPS for Venezuelans, despite the fact that they face extreme oppression, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings, and torture — the exact type of situation that requires our govt to provide TPS. Read my full statement:

Sometimes, the Constitution can be unclear, and we need a judge to interpret it. The 14th Amendment is not one of those cases. Birthright citizenship is the law, and if you are born in the United States, you are a U.S. citizen.

After the Great Recession — which cost millions of jobs and destroyed countless lives — our government put regulations in place to make sure it never happened again. Now, Trump is getting rid of those rules. What could possibly go wrong? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Watchdogs could cut capital rules as Trump’s deregulation drive opens door to rollback of post-crisis protections

If Trump can undermine due process for immigrants here legally, he can do the same to you. What happens when he disagrees with you? What happens if he doesn’t like what you say? He’ll come after you just like he has to so many others. We must stand up for our collective rights.

Republican cuts to Medicaid mean that people will die. Families will face enormous medical bills and stop going to the doctor altogether. It’s a betrayal of the American people — and Democrats are fighting it with everything we have.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 18(source)
Trump is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants of ALL statuses off the streets, taking away free speech and due process rights, and violating the Constitution. But we won’t back down. We are ready to fight back.

This administration’s sweeping grant terminations have done nothing but stop important research, aimed at protecting and strengthening our communities — from climate resilience to cancer research. This funding should be restored ASAP.

As a result of this immediate loss of funding, King County was forced to halt their work, meaning their efforts to make our community healthier and better prepared for climate emergencies were stopped in their tracks.

The King County Library System recently had a grant abruptly terminated — funding that was being used to develop a plan to implement sustainable building design, upgrade infrastructure, and to help mitigate the climate crisis.

It’s not just liberal judges blocking Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship. A Reagan-appointed judge called it “blatantly unconstitutional.” Our courts have been clear: Trump is wrong and birthright citizenship is the law.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from violating due process rights with its reckless implementation of the Alien Enemies Act. This is a positive step — now Trump must abide by the ruling. My full statement:

Republicans wanted to use a bureaucratic trick to tell you their budget bill doesn’t cost anything or add to the deficit. But in reality, their tax cut for billionaires would cost $5.5 TRILLION. So I called them out.
