Here is the cruel irony. In the same week that Republicans are putting forth the nomination of a Secretary of Defense who won't even say that sexual assault is disqualifying, Republicans want to fool you into thinking that they care about…

if you believe we should be able to detain and deport undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes and you took Republicans at their word that the Laken Riley Act was necessary for us to do that, you need to know that is…

Today I rise to honor a fallen hero in central Washington. Zuza served the Yakima County Sheriff's Department at the hand of Deputy Nick Ward. In her 7-year career with the sheriff's department, Zuza had an incredible record of 138…
