🚨 Farm Bill Moves Forward...But Animal Protections Blocked The House passed its version of the Farm Bill, but only after blocking votes on multiple bipartisan animal welfare amendments that had strong support to pass. Among the measures denied a vote: - Ending extreme confinement of pigs - Halting horse slaughter exports - Cracking down on animal fighting networks - Stopping subsidies for mink fur farms Lawmakers were allowed to vote on a carve-out to weaken the greyhound racing ban, and rejected it 178–237. Critics say leadership blocked the other amendments because they would have passed. Now attention shifts to the Senate, where advocates say there’s still a path forward to restore these protections. 📢 The fight for animals isn’t over...it’s moving to the next stage.

“Unwanted calves, killed because you want their milk. In order to produce milk a cow has to have a calf, in order for you to have that milk the calf is taken away from his/her mum shortly after birth. This is extremely traumatic for the both mother and calf - mothers will bellow

The weapon used in the deadliest attack on Latinos by a white nationalist caused horrific destruction: 23 El Pasoans were killed and survivors are still dealing with their pain. ⁦@CObandoDerstine⁩ understands the stakes and I’m proud to support her washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

@reesejgorman It’s notable he doesn’t actually say he will vote no unless X Y and Z. It’s just… this should be in there…

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

@neeratanden He’s become an empty vessel - repeating whatever he believes sounds good on Fox News. Very sad and disappointing

@adam_wola This entire segment was completely devoid of that important detail or any other meaningful context. Totally one dimensional. It felt more like something out of the DHS Comms shop.

“‘Go to the port of entry,’ Good suggested. ‘Do it legally, right?’” …CBP allowed 12 people to claim credible fear at border ports of entry in March. When CBP One was in place, the number was over 40,000 per month, but the administration abolished the program entirely.

Anthony Good, Chief Border Patrol agent of the Del Rio sector, told CBS News' @camiloreports that the Trump administration's crackdown and policies on illegal immigration are not "harsh or inhumane," rather "just protecting the American public." "Go to the port of entry," Good suggested. "Do it legally, right?"

Dems could have folded after TX but they did not. It was CA Prop 50. Reclaiming a seat in UT. Pushing back in OH, IN, NH, NE, & KS. Now a big win in VA. These results don’t happen by accident. Huge credit on strategy & resources to execute the strategy goes to @hakeemjeffries
Jeff Zeleny@jeffzeleny

Will the Virginia redistricting vote make him Speaker? We'll know in November. But @RepJeffries was at the center of the strategy and winning effort. "Democrats did not step back," he said. "We fought back. When they go low, we hit back hard."

@EricMGarcia I actually see it differently. Women on the democratic side of the aisle are pretty uniformly aligned on this, but there are only a handful of Republican women who stand with us on this.

What does it say that the most ideological women on BOTH ends (Boebert, Mace, Luna and MTG on the GOP side and progressives Leger Fernandez and AOC) are the ones willing to go to the mat for female staffers while leadership does jack shit on pushing out creepy men?

Boebert: If your boss is mistreating you, or someone else in the office, tell somebody—come to my office. If you want to remain anonymous, remain anonymous. Let one of us loudmouths get it out there for you. I’m happy to issue receipts on behalf of anyone.
