ICE is purchasing warehouses across the country to turn them into detention facilities. Local leaders are often finding out only after the deals are done. Community members are fed up, and rightfully so. Decisions that impact communities shouldn’t happen in the shadows.

SCOTUS blocked Trump’s sweeping tariffs, and instead of respecting the rule of law, he’s attacking the Court and threatening even higher tariffs. Disagreeing with a ruling is one thing. Undermining the Court and threatening retaliation is another. Our democracy deserves better.

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans think Trump is focused on the wrong problems. While families worry about affordability and making ends meet, he’s claiming he’s “won” on costs. When so many people feel unheard, it’s time to focus on lowering prices and putting working families first.

Trump delivered a predictable, divisive SOTU speech. He has record low approval ratings and knows his party is about to lose big time in the midterm elections in November, so he resorted to giving a vicious and ugly speech to change the narrative. It’s classic Trump.

Congratulations to Team USA on a truly historic Winter Olympics!🇺🇸 Our athletes brought home a record-breaking 11 gold medals, an incredible achievement that reflects their hard work, resilience, and teamwork. So proud of the way they represented our country on the world stage.

Today, the Supreme Court told Donald Trump that he’s not a king by striking down his reckless tariffs. This is a huge win for the American people and for our democracy. Trump will try to find another way to get these tariffs implemented, but I’m going to do everything I can to stop him.

RFK Jr’s allies are trying to repeal laws requiring kids to be vaccinated against measles, polio, and other diseases before school. These protections save lives and keep classrooms safe. Rolling them back risks outbreaks and puts vulnerable children in danger.

Trump is officially disregarding scientific proof of climate change by ending the federal government’s authority to take on pollution. This doesn’t make the threat of climate change disappear. Our kids and grandkids will suffer the consequences of Trump’s decision.

ICE’s activity in the Inland Empire has proven that they’ll target people anywhere, including churches and small businesses. It’s been inspiring to see our community stand up to protect each other, but they shouldn’t have to. No one should be living in fear of their own government.

Our national parks are living classrooms. You can’t tell the story of America by erasing slavery, civil rights, Indigenous history, or LGBTQ+ history. Patriotism isn’t pretending our past was perfect, it’s having the courage to tell the full story. We can handle the truth.

The FCC’s interference in The Late Show over an interview with a Democratic candidate should concern every American. When government pressure causes networks to second-guess who they can put on air, that’s a threat to free speech.

While Trump says he takes pride in the current economy, the majority of Americans aren’t happy with it. If it’s “his economy,” he should start listening to the people living in it.

Tens of thousands of Californians just lost health care, and now face premiums that have doubled or worse. People are skipping doctor visits or going uninsured. Affordable health care shouldn’t disappear just because Republicans are indifferent to working Americans’ challenges. We must fix this.

Over 100,000 workers lost their jobs in January, making it the worst start to a year for layoffs since 2009. Things don’t have to be this way. We must invest in high growth sectors like healthcare, and rebuild American manufacturing by strengthening supply chains.

Federal prosecutors began investigating Renee Good’s murder, until the Trump administration told them to stop. They know they’re in the wrong and they’ll do anything to prevent being held accountable. It’s shameful and it’s cowardly.

A 6-year-old was thriving at school. Then Trump’s immigration crackdown sent her to a prison-like detention center where she stopped sleeping, eating, and feeling safe. It doesn’t have to be this way. This admin is willingly enacting cruelty and suffering upon children.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show gave the country exactly what it needed right now: a joyous celebration of our diverse cultures, and a call for love and unity. What a moving and entertaining performance. Bravo!

For 60+ years, the Kennedy Center has celebrated the very best of American art and culture. Now Trump is shutting it down for two years for a vanity project, showing total disregard for its history. It’s a stain on the legacy of a cultural touchstone that's served millions.

A college degree used to mean career stability. But now for the first time in decades, college graduates are more likely to be unemployed than trade workers. If the promise of a college degree is slipping, we owe workers more paths to good jobs without a lifetime of debt.

Kristi Noem has got to go. She's sent unaccountable federal agents into cities without oversight, putting entire communities into chaos, and she's shown no remorse. If Donald Trump doesn’t fire her himself, Congress will impeach her.

America’s economy is leaving too many people behind. While the wealthiest see record gains, working families are struggling to afford housing, groceries, and gas. An economy this unequal isn’t sustainable, and it isn’t fair.

I read 1984 as a teenager, then years later taught it as an English teacher. I never imagined its warnings would become our reality.

Amid the chaos driven by ICE activity in MN, a public health crisis is taking hold. People are skipping doctor’s appointments because they’re afraid to leave home. This is what happens when communities are pushed into fear. The harm ripples into every part of daily life.

ICE is out of control. We can't pretend this is business as usual. It's time for real accountability, including agents unmasking, and requiring warrants for enforcement actions.

ICE raids are tearing families apart, spreading fear in our streets, and hurting local economies. In MN, people are afraid to go out, and immigrant-owned businesses are closing to protect workers. The Trump admin says these raids are about safety, but they’re only causing harm.

This is long overdue. 80 years after being denied their commissions and labeled enemy aliens, 7 Japanese American WWII soldiers are being promoted to officer ranks. They gave everything for a country that questioned their loyalty. We are forever indebted to their bravery.

Trump’s mass deportation campaign isn’t just targeting families, it’s destabilizing entire communities. ICE raids at businesses are fueling fear, disrupting livelihoods, and violating basic rights. This blatant authoritarian overreach can not continue.

Americans are paying attention, and they’re rejecting the Trump administration. A clear majority say ICE’s deadly tactics have gone too far. It’s time to listen to the people: end the chaos, and get ICE out of our communities.

More than 100 refugees with no criminal record have been arrested in Minnesota by federal agents. This isn’t law and order. It’s racial profiling, plain and simple. The Trump administration is vilifying innocent people who came here seeking safety. We must hold them accountable.

I'm horrified by the murder of Alex Pretti over the weekend at the hands of ICE agents. This has made it clearer than ever that Kristi Noem must be impeached. I voted against giving more money to ICE, and the Senate must do the same.

Alex Pretti was shot and killed by ICE agents, then labeled a “domestic terrorist” by the Trump admin. This is how far they’ll go to dodge accountability. It’s shameful. Kristi Noem must be impeached, and the people behind this atrocity must be held accountable.

At least 31 people died in ICE custody last year, the highest number in 20 years. There is no accountability in a system built on cruelty. It’s time to put an end to these inhumane practices.

Blocking members of Congress from inspecting ICE detention facilities is an attack on accountability. Oversight isn’t optional in a democracy, especially when lives and civil rights are at stake.

Trump said he “won on groceries.” One year later, voters say the economy and cost of living are headed in the wrong direction. Americans have made it clear that they want lower bills, not more lies from Trump.

Every time Donald Trump puts our military in harm's way, it’s worth remembering that he also cut 35,000 VA healthcare jobs, and ended life saving clinical trials for cancer treatment and opioid addiction. It's a slap in the face to the people who have sacrificed so much for us.

Trump’s vow to impose tariffs unless Europe hands over Greenland is reckless, destabilizing, and wrong. Sovereignty is not for sale – and bullying our allies weakens America.

Americans’ Social Security data should never be used for political games. The Trump admin now admits members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team may have misused sensitive data and even discussed matching it to voter rolls. This is a massive abuse of power.

Two things can be true at once. People can be happy that an authoritarian like Maduro is no longer in power, but the methods used to remove him from power were a dangerous overreach.Don’t let the GOP fool you. They’re trying to normalize fascism.

Trump promised a manufacturing comeback. Instead, we got 8 straight months of job losses, 70,000 factory jobs gone, and small businesses cutting shifts to survive. Tariffs are not a viable plan. Working families deserve real economic strategy.

ICE is conducting raids, arrests, and fatal shootings near school grounds. When students are feeling unsafe in the classroom, something is deeply wrong. ICE shouldn’t be anywhere near schools, period.

Renee Nicole Good was an innocent woman who was shot and killed by ICE agents. Now, Trump and his allies are trying to paint her as the villain. It's a new low, even for Trump. The longer these lies continue, the more frequent these incidents will become.

A woman was killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, and now hundreds more federal agents are being sent in, not to protect people, but to intimidate communities. No one should live in fear in their own neighborhoods.

The independence of the Federal Reserve is not optional. Using the DOJ to target Jerome Powell sets a dangerous precedent that echoes the worst authoritarian impulses. We must protect our institutions.

In just one day, Donald Trump threatened Colombia, insulted Mexico, declared Cuba “ready to fall,” and revived his fantasy of seizing Greenland. This isn’t presidential leadership – it’s authoritarian posturing. Reckless words have real-world consequences.

Trump’s fantasy of “taking over” Greenland isn’t just a silly headline—it’s a threat to global stability. Denmark’s prime minister is right: this kind of rhetoric could shatter NATO. Words matter. So does responsible leadership.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can’t mandate vaccine changes, but CDC guidance matters. It shapes what states, schools, and doctors do. When anti-science ideology drives public health policy, it’s our children who pay the price.

The CPB may be gone, but public media isn’t. We owe it to our kids, our educators, and our democracy to restore federal support for the trusted institutions that bring us fact-based news, educational programming, and cultural storytelling.

Trump’s mission to capture Maduro was carried out without approval from Congress. This kind of unilateral action is deeply troubling. We can’t allow this to become commonplace.

2025 left job seekers facing a slow, uncertain market. And 2026 may bring more of the same. Americans are ready to work, but the economy isn’t working for them. We need policies that support job growth and protect those most at risk, especially in hard-hit communities.

Since Donald Trump took office, energy bills have gone up 13%. That’s not an accident. It’s the result of policies that cut clean energy, rewarded polluters, and left working families to pay the price. It’s time to invest in an affordable, sustainable energy future for all of us.
