This is racist garbage from President Trump. If you’re finding yourself defending it, you’re on the wrong side of history. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

If they can do this to a sitting senator, imagine what they can do to you.

I was glad to have the opportunity to meet with the Lebanese Chief of Defense General Haykal yesterday. Michigan is home to the largest Lebanese-American community in the country, with so many who have deep ties and family trying to make it in this dynamic country.

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November. Here's why.

Michigan mayors also visited Senator Peters and me. They shared their concerns, and we brainstormed what we can do about them at the federal level. The theme at both of these meetings is that people want ALL their elected officials to work together, cut through partisan noise and deliver results.

Last week I spoke with mayors from across the country. They’re concerned– about housing costs, data centers, and ICE – and feel more pressure than ever as the bridge between their community and the federal government.

This week, I met with Michigan Sheriffs on their annual trip to Washington to hear directly from them about what we can do on the federal level to make sure they have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.

The President sold our most sophisticated AI chips to an Emirati company with ties to the Chinese military. Now we find out they paid hundreds of millions directly to the President’s kids. It’s all there in plain sight. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

So, this month and every day, let’s recognize the achievements, bravery, struggles and resilience. Happy Black History Month!
- ES
Amidst ongoing efforts to erase or downplay Black history and heritage—in our museums and our classrooms—it’s even more important to celebrate and honor the contributions of the African American community.

In February of 1926, Carter G. Woodson established a history week to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. 50 years later, it became a month-long celebration.

Wishing all Michiganders a Happy Black History Month! This year is very special because it marks 100 years of formally commemorating the history, culture, and contributions that African Americans have made in this country.

It is deeply concerning to have federal officials going after voter rolls for what appears to be very political reasons. And, as a former CIA officer, I cannot tell you what the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was doing, helping with a raid in Georgia. youtube.com/shorts/HymkJ...

ICE used to have five months of training, but they've shortened it now to 47 days. The number 47 was picked because President Trump is the 47th president.

Last week, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. I was unable to support more funding without serious, legislated change.

The model should be our state and local police officers, who adhere to a set of standards every day while protecting our communities. If my colleagues meet the moment and accept legislated reform and change, I am ready to vote for the bill.
- ES
My sincere hope is the White House and my Republican colleagues in Congress hear the chorus from the American people, and use the next two weeks to put the appropriate limits on ICE.

I have talked about these very issues for a year now, and I was unable to support more funding without serious, legislated change.

Today, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. The events taking place in Minneapolis represent a cultural moment — where people across the political spectrum saw, with their own eyes, U.S. citizens abused, threatened, and gunned down. Our fundamental rights as Americans, trampled.

In this week's Intel Brief, we dig into three important topics: 1️⃣ How ICE operates with different sets of rules than the police. 2️⃣ The raid on a Georgia election office, and the larger efforts to collect voter rolls 3️⃣ How the chaotic approach to China is hurting Americans youtu.be/Sh0ilxogooc

Secretary Noem must be held accountable, and she needs to explain herself before Congress and the American people.

That means uniformed military who are trained to go after foreign adversaries would now be told to arrest, detain, and interrogate American citizens. The last thing we need is the active duty military taken off their posts defending our country and put onto American streets.

He’s using this word to build a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act, which he’s talked and tweeted about dozens of times in the last year. Invoking the Insurrection Act allows him to deploy the US military and *have them act as cops in the streets.*

Watch this space: Last night, the President called VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti an ‘insurrectionist’. Meaning that he was a person who was engaged in violent uprising against an authority or government.

Did VA officials try to stop a memorial for Alex Pretti?

This isn't a Republican or a Democratic thing. From Zach Bryan to Joe Rogan, folks of all kinds of different views are crying out for reforms and to rein in ICE.

This morning, I voted no on the bill that included funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The White House needs to hear the American people, and rein in ICE, end the violence and stop the attack on our fundamental freedoms.

Secretary Noem fundamentally doesn't understand her role as a Cabinet Secretary. She needs to resign, be fired, or, if that doesn't happen, she should be impeached.

There needs to be consequences for what happened in Minneapolis. That starts with leadership. Secretary Noem should resign. If she doesn't, President Trump should fire her. If that doesn't happen, she should be impeached. youtube.com/shorts/1xmV6...

The President directed the Department of Justice to make a secret list of “domestic terrorist organizations.” It seems clear from his own order that Trump plans to see how far he can stretch the law before someone tells him no.

What could happen to people on President Trump’s secret “domestic terrorist” list? They could be targeted by the federal government just for disagreeing with President Trump’s agenda.

This is the President's playbook. The truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

Americans can see with their own eyes. ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President. They must be reined in. I’ll be voting no on the Homeland Security funding bill.

The most patriotic thing we can do for the country that we love right now is for everyone, regardless of political party, to call and demand change from those who infringe on our Freedom.

This is an attack on ALL of our freedoms as Americans. We're not the Land of the Free when we can't walk our dog or take our kid to school without federal forces looming. We’re not the Land of the Free when the rights guaranteed in our Constitution are shredded.
