A federal judge just found that the Trump Administration is LYING about its use of tear gas on peaceful protestors. Stay vigilant.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues critical injunction limiting use of force by immigration agents, saying tactics “shock the conscience.”

ICE agents are traumatizing children and parents as part of Donald Trump’s cruel immigration raids. This does not make America safer in any way.

Armed Trump-Noem ICE agents just chased a teacher into a PRESCHOOL, putting kids in danger. Terrible.

Edmund LaCour, a Trump judicial pick, is an architect of Alabama’s plan to disenfranchise Black voters. Even though he kept losing in court, he repeatedly helped Alabama defy court orders. Senate Republicans confirmed him during the Trump shutdown.

Sen. KAINE: I’m happy—because my friends won on Tuesday. But I’m happy anytime we have elections where people really participate. The kinds of things we’ve done in Virginia to make elections more accessible to all are commonsense, good for democracy, and good for voters.

Sen. DURBIN: Americans voted for a vision of our nation on Tuesday. Will we stand for equal justice under law? Or will MAGA politics damage the democratic process? Well, the American people certainly answered, resoundingly rejecting the Trump Administration’s disastrous policies.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: I would’ve hoped that the basic operation of democracy wouldn’t be a topic that we’d have to come here to worry about. But, the character down the road in the Oval Office is making all sorts of threats to our elections.

Sen. PADILLA: Thanks to election workers and volunteers, Tuesday’s elections went smoothly and successfully. Virginia and New Jersey saw record turnout. New York City had the highest municipal turnout since 1969. Americans showed up in overwhelming numbers to say “enough.”

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: I’m here to talk about a right that was exercised in overwhelming numbers on Tuesday… the right to vote. It was an inspiring example. But the right to vote is under systemic, strategic, relentless assault by the Trump Administration.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are denying Members of Congress their right to visit ICE facilities and meet with detainees. We know detainees are reporting overcrowding, inhumane treatment, and prolonged stays. But they won’t let us see for ourselves. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

BREAKING: Sen. DURBIN presses Acting ICE Director on its unlawful denial of Members of Congress to visit ICE facilities and speak to detainees, despite constitutional authority and laws explicitly granting access.

“Investigator investigates who criminal suspect is communicating with while committing crimes”… isn’t the “gotcha” Republicans think it is. Jack Smith should testify under oath before us.

Jack Smith investigated Donald Trump’s illegal, desperate attempts to overturn the 2020 election. He’s offered to testify. If Republicans have soooo many questions, why won’t they let him?

Senate Republicans confirmed an extremist judicial nominee during the Trump shutdown. This anti-abortion radical completely struggled to defend his stances. Painful to watch.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority used the “major questions doctrine” to BLOCK: Student loan forgiveness. Vaccine requirements. The Clean Power Plan. If that’s the case, the same logic should apply to Trump’s reckless tariffs.

Senate Republicans are confirming judges who will put Trump ahead of the Constitution… during the Trump shutdown. Sen. BOOKER has told these nominees frankly: “Your job is not to be President Trump’s lawyer on the courts.”

Senate Republicans confirmed an extremist Trump judicial nominee to a Delaware seat. But she has no connection to Delaware. Sen. COONS: “I’ve visited Florida a couple of times. I suppose that qualifies me to be a circuit court judge in Florida.”

Senate Republicans have spent the Trump shutdown pushing through judges—instead of making health care more affordable.

Donald Trump is not judge, jury, and executioner. Summary executions are illegal—in peacetime and wartime. Congress needs answers on Donald Trump’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats demand answers from the Justice Department over the Trump Administration’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are lying to you. “Worst of the worst.” “No citizens arrested.” It’s untrue—and the reality in Chicago is harrowing. Sen. DURBIN exposes it here.

The Trump-Bondi Justice Department refuses to release a copy of Volume II of Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. What are they hiding?

Targeting kids and families on Halloween… the Trump-Noem anti-immigrant agenda knows no limits. Heartless and shameful.

Republicans have sent multiple letters asking for information about Jack Smith’s investigation into Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election. But they refuse to ask him to testify publicly.

Let kids trick-or-treat in peace. Also, doesn't Kristi Noem have costumes to wear tonight?

Kristi Noem just told her MAGA audience (FOX “News”) that she will amp up shameful immigration raids on Halloween. The “worst of the worst” aren’t trick-or-treating. They’re in the Trump Administration.

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats call for former Special Counsel Jack Smith to publicly testify before the Committee and for the Justice Department to release the unredacted copy of Volume II of Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller slashed refugee admissions, limited it to white South Africans, and broke the law to do it. Illegal and invalid.

BREAKING: Trump Administration slashes refugee admissions to 7,500—almost entirely limited to white South Africans—without the legally required consultation with Congress.

Kristi Noem is LYING to you to appease one person. Donald Trump.

Kristi Noem is telling bald-faced lies about ICE arrests. More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions. 170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.

Trump-Bondi DOJ: “We will consult with career ethics officials.” Trump appointees: *fire career ethics officials* 🤔

Donald Trump is trying to snag $230 MILLION for himself from the Justice Department. During a government shutdown. When costs are rising. All for him—none for YOU.

Donald Trump’s desperate money grab from the Justice Department is just another grift. Plus, there are major ethics concerns with his former personal lawyers at the department. This can’t stand.

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats probe Trump $230 million settlement claims before Justice Department.

Sen. PADILLA: Political violence is never acceptable. No matter where it comes from. Violence as a political tool is an attack on democracy.

Sen. WELCH: The stakes are too high. If all political violence is wrong, evil, and corrosive, the debate about ‘where there’s more’ doesn’t help us get anywhere.

Sen. DURBIN: The Trump Administration cut staffing to prevent domestic terrorism. Political violence expert: There isn’t even an office anymore. Durbin: Are you concerned? Expert: I’m worried about rising political violence. They dismantled the apparatus that can prevent it.

WOW. Watch ALL Republican witnesses support the pardons of violent extremists who attacked law enforcement officers. Even after hearing one officer’s harrowing recount of his attack on January 6, 2021. Disgusting.

DC police officer: I’m intimately familiar with political violence. When I fought to defend the Capitol and your very lives on January 6, I was beaten, bloodied, crushed, with my eye gouged and my skull smashed with my own baton.

Sen. DURBIN laundry lists recent episodes of political violence from across the spectrum… then denounces them ALL. Every Democrat and Republican must condemn these. No hesitation.

Sen. BOOKER: There is political violence. Both left-wing and right-wing extremists. To say it’s ‘just one and not the other’ deepens the problem. But we have an Administration that’s eviscerating people who should be keeping us safe.

Sen. WELCH: Everybody involved and convicted for January 6th was pardoned. Raise your hand if you think those pardons were appropriate. ALL Republican witnesses: *raise hands* Welch: Even those attacking Officer Hodges? Republican witnesses: *silence*

DC police officer: This is the helmet U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick wore on January 6, 2021. He died the following day. His family just got it back.

Sen. DURBIN: At the outset, I want to recognize law enforcement here today, including those who defended the Capitol on January 6th, and the family members of those who are no longer with us.

Political violence must be condemned no matter the ideology. Period.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have slashed funding to combat domestic terrorism. If they’re serious about stopping political violence, they’ll restore these funds.

This Republican witness in 2020: White supremacist extremists are certainly the most persistent and lethal threat when we talk about domestic violent extremists. Will he tell this same truth in 2025?
