When HUD policies threaten our communities and our homes, we deserve to have our voices heard. NHLP’s Senior Staff Attorney Hannah Adams shared our plan to fight back against rapid evictions with @politico’s Cassandra Dumay:

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

BREAKING: lCE agents have now detained a 2-year-old girl in south Minneapolis and put her on a commercial flight out of Minnesota DESPITE a judge ordering the toddler’s release. Lawyers say they were asylum-seekers, stopped without a warrant, with no final removal order. Agents allegedly used chemical irritants and flash-bangs as they detained her. The court order was signed at 8:10 p.m. By 8:30 p.m., they were already airborne to Texas. This is a stunning abuse of power and a direct defiance of the courts.

I wish they had gotten to grow old together.
Be A King@BerniceKing

As we kick off King Holiday week, I am thinking not only of my father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but also of my mother, Coretta Scott King—the architect and steward of the King legacy. My mother understood that my father’s work could not live only in memory. She insisted it must be protected, taught, and practiced. Because of her vision, The King Center exists not simply to honor what was, but to equip people to live out what must be. Together, my parents gave the world more than words. They offered a philosophy and a way of life—rooted in nonviolence, justice, truth, and love—that calls us to create the Beloved Community in our time. As this week begins, my hope is that we move beyond remembrance and recommit ourselves to action: to learning, to practicing nonviolence, and to building the kind of world my parents believed was possible—one grounded in dignity, compassion, and shared responsibility. I hope you will join us—virtually or in person—as we reflect, learn, and continue this work together: thekingcenter.pulse.ly/2sdok3unmx #MLK #KingHoliday2026 #BelovedCommunity #CorettaScottKing #TheKingCenter

This is what democracy looks like!
Maxine Waters@RepMaxineWaters

The people won a bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives last night! That was a vote to extend the Obamacare subsidies created during the COVID-19 pandemic. Much credit to Leader Hakeem Jeffries for providing strong leadership and strategy to help educate the public about the increase in health premiums that they would experience without these subsidies. Hakeem Jeffries held the Democrats together, initiated a discharge petition, and was dedicated to not getting diverted from the healthcare issue. Because of Hakeem’s leadership, we were able to get people in Republican districts to become advocates and to lobby their elected officials. 4 Republicans supported the discharge petition, and 17 Republicans voted for the bill. Millions can be thankful their premiums will not increase or double. This is hard work because Trump is firing federal employees, cutting social service programs, and dismantling support for American citizens while he is destroying the East Wing of the White House to create a ballroom. But when the people learn and understand how destructive he is, we will have more wins, and that is what some of us are fighting for!

Rep. Mike Levin
Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
I am in disbelief that this Congress still hasn’t found the political will to do something as basic, as decent, as installing a plaque to honor the law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol on January 6. Honoring the people who risked their lives for this institution should not be controversial. It should be automatic. And if we can’t agree to put up a plaque in their honor, what kind of example are we setting for the American people, for our kids, and for the next generation of officers who might one day be asked to stand between democracy and chaos? Put up the plaque. Show the country we still have a conscience. And show those officers and their families that their sacrifice wasn’t political. It was patriotic. It was noble. And it will never be forgotten.

It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration. This must lead to the overcoming of violence, and to the pursuit of paths of justice and peace. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray too, entrusting our prayer to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto, and to Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles. #PrayTogether

This is devastating. This is horrible. This is the very antithesis of what America is. Every Republican should lose in 2026 because of this. Every single one. This is on them. This is on all of them.👇
