ICE’s abuses go beyond the headlines. Residents are afraid to go to schools, to grocery stores, to even step outside. Agents are patrolling the streets like a military operation. A 20% reduction is not enough. All of ICE needs to leave Minneapolis now.

A devastating day for the paper of record in our nation's capital. Bezos just spent $40M sucking up to Trump with Amazon's 'Melania', but is now cutting a third of @washingtonpost.com staff – including much of the international & local teams – for "budget" reasons? (1/2)

Autonomous vehicle companies say their cars can do it all. But AVs still rely on remote human beings to navigate dangerous driving situations. We know nothing about who these people are, where they are, or how often they’re telling the AV what to do. I’m demanding answers.

I’m tired of our incredible immigrant communities being demonized with labels like “illegals.” We don’t use that term to describe any other type of human being, including those convicted of serious crimes.

Finally. This is an important first step, but there’s still work to do. This administration and its agents need to be held accountable for their campaign of reckless violence. It's time to get ICE off all our streets.

Aliya Rahman’s testimony described being dragged from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis while on her way to a doctor’s appointment. Her courage in sharing that terrifying story underscores the fear so many Minnesotans are facing and why ICE must leave our state.

ICE should be targeting the worst criminals. But under Secretary Noem, it’s been turned into a masked secret police force that shoots citizens and teargasses children.

We're already seeing the damage from Republicans' refusal to extend health care tax credits last year: 1 million fewer Americans signed up for ACA coverage this year. It’s only going to get worse as Americans realize that they can no longer afford their health insurance in Trump's America.

How can anyone believe Trump’s claims that ICE crackdowns are about crime when ICE is busy detaining preschoolers like Liam? Kids should be in school and safe at home with their families—not in detention centers 1,000 miles from home. It’s cruel. youtu.be/0gMqWklcuoI

Democrats won't vote to fund a lawless agency. There MUST be accountability at DHS—and if Republicans refuse to make the changes the American people are demanding, they cannot expect Democratic votes.

He incited an insurrection when he lost. He raided a Georgia county election office. Now, he’s saying Republicans should nationalize elections. President Trump is attacking democracy in America.

Damn right we object to Donald Trump’s attempt to take over our nation’s central bank. All 11 Democrats on @banking.senate.gov are clear: until the sham criminal investigations into Fed Board members are closed, we must not move forward on any Fed nominee.

This includes my bill to repeal the provision that would have let some Republican senators collect hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for legally obtained phone records. Politicians should be fighting for working families instead of fighting to line their own pockets.

The same Republicans that gave Trump $200 million to renovate the Kennedy Center in the Big, Ugly Bill said it was too expensive to extend the ACA tax credits. Apparently, there's an unlimited budget for Trump vanity projects and zero dollars for your health care.

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms. In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections. We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

Federal agents tear-gassed demonstrators and children in Portland. An agent in Colorado stole a woman’s phone and threw her to the ground. The disgraced former head of Border Patrol urged mass arrests. This isn't what Americans signed up for. We must rein in ICE.

Good news – This reverses Trump’s brutal cuts to medical research and housing programs and forces Republicans to negotiate on ICE. If they don’t agree to real reforms in two weeks, DHS will shut down.
