Join Marine Corps veteran Senator Ruben Gallego for a special VoteVets Town Hall on March 23rd in San Antonio. We’re bringing the conversation to Texas to discuss the biggest issues facing our veterans and working families.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

REVEALED: What did Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say Now, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.

Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.

Fox News admits to airing an old dignified transfer video on its program this morning, one that did not show Donald Trump wearing a white ball cap.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong."

The Supreme Court’s Declaration of Independence

1/ Okay, now I’m mad.

Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year.

Committee Democratic staff have worked with whistleblowers and ethical cybersecurity experts and identified additional concerns with DOGE’s interference at OPM. Experts have shown evidence raising concerns of potential Russian and Chinese access to OPM servers shortly after DOGE created the government-wide email infrastructure. Separately, information received by Committee Democratic staff indicated that DOGE employees lowered all firewall protections at OPM to enable the exfiltration of data for use outside of a government environment. Each of these instances raises serious questions about national security as OPM holds sensitive government operations data that adversarial state and non-state actors could use for leverage over

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

BREAKING: Our campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours after the FCC banned our Colbert interview.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Wow.

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.
