My statement on funding DHS: The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

I don't agree with everything Newsome says, and I cringe when he makes stupid mistakes, but we MUST win in 28 and we HAVE to motivate other Dems to start speaking up. This is how we win (if there are elections) and this is the guy who is out there fighting.

This is a big deal. If other countries follow, Republicans will have repeated what they did causing the 1930s depression, the 1980s savings and loan crises, and the early 2000s great recession.

This is what bending the knee gets you… more abuse.

by the early 21st century, mainstream American political figures didn't dare display overt racism, Nazi sympathies or a hunger for violence Trump's white supremacist presidency has changed all that zeteo.com/p/the-essenc...

Here's the message: Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans. Effective because it's 💯 true.

📺 OMG—who made this?! Noah Wyle has a message for all you—vaccine skeptics… Share with a friend who needs to hear it.

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

Everything is so f**ked up that Trump has Jon Stewart defending... an oil company?!

Just an FYI: my Get Out the Vote efforts do not belie the fact that Trump will do everything he can to stop the midterms, and do not in any way intend to imply that voting is our ONLY cause of action, or that we must do nothing until we vote. Despite Trump's efforts, we still need to vote.

Ok, this is really cool. We'll get some good art and craft out of AI before it kills us all.

If you're a Republican, fraud and corruption is encouraged. That's the game.

If you elect someone who says he will be a dictator for one day, you will end up hoping to one day not be ruled by a dictator.

".. when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Guess what Trump. You’re gonna lose. I guarantee it you big pussy

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

The protesters in Tehran? "Patriots." The protesters in Minneapolis? "Anarchists and professional agitators." The eruption of protests on opposite sides of the planet has brought Trump’s views of democracy and popular dissent into stark relief. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

It’s been 16 years since the Citizens United decision that ushered in the current era of corrupt politics. I’m headed to the Senate floor right now to take stock of the wreckage that case caused.

relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

They aren’t spending your money well.

This is why Democrats simply cannot work with Republicans in Congress on appropriations or anything else in good faith. Trump will illegally seize money appropriated to Democratic states, refuse them disaster aid, threaten them with Fed invasion, threaten their governors, etc.

Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in. ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white. He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.

Using phony criminal charges to intimidate his opponents. Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities. Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries. Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.

Fear has been a tool used by oppressors since the beginning of time. A true leader doesn’t create separation. A true leader brings people together. America has NO leader.

This is where Congress should step in and stop Trump. But of course the GOP won’t do that. Which means the voters have to do their thing.

The Trump Justice Department is corrupt and illegitimate. There is zero basis to criminally target Fed Chair Jay Powell. America will not be intimidated.

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

Jerome Powell has more decency, courage, and love of country in his right pinky finger than can be found in the entirety of every single member of my former political party.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

A time-honored tradition: Republicans offering buts and prayers

We need more local reporting like this.

Over 100 members of Congress have mounted replicas of a plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection outside their offices -- because House Speaker Mike Johnson has disgracefully refused to install the official one. #TrumpCoupAttempt
