A Republican was too much of a coward to face his constituents. So he sent his staff to a town hall with donuts to ‘own the libs.’ It’s bizarre behavior for any elected official — but weird stunts like this that reveal the GOP’s disdain for the people they represent mean our organizing is working.

Trump is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.

Even though Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House, we are still facing a government shutdown because the GOP can't get its act together.

Finally, good news on S. 240, the anti-trans foster care bill we highlighted last week. After supporters of trans youth packed the Senate Child Welfare Subcommittee's conference room, the subcommittee met without discussing or taking a vote on the bill. It remains in subcommittee.
