The Trump Administration just passed a horrific milestone. 30 deaths in ICE custody. People are dying because of their cruel negligence.

BREAKING: 30 immigrants have died in ICE custody since Donald Trump took office, making 2025 the deadliest year in ICE detention since the early 2000s.

Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are holding Medicaid and Medicare funding HOSTAGE unless hospitals comply with their partisan and anti-trans agenda. Patients deserve better.

BREAKING: Trump, RFK Jr. announce they’ll cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding for any hospital that provides lifesaving gender affirming care to minors—effectively inserting the federal government in between doctors, parents, and patients.

BREAKING: Bipartisan group of Senators introduce bill to sunset Section 230 immunity for tech companies.

Dan Bongino didn’t even last a year. Botched the initial release of the Epstein files. Required a polygraph exam waiver. Supervised haphazard firings and reassignments of agents. Totally ineffective—and we’re all less safe for it.

Dan Bongino’s best hit. "You can't tell your audience for years, go out and do stuff, talk is cheap, and then when the opportunity comes to do stuff it’s, ‘I didn’t mean me, I meant you.’ You’re kind of a fraud.

Protecting drug traffickers. Not you.

THE TRUMP-BONDI PLAN TO TACKLE DRUG TRAFFICKING: Pardon drug kingpins. Divert drug enforcement agents. Shutter key task forces. Terminate grants. Reduce trafficking prosecutions. Ineffective.

The Trump Administration’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean are unlawful. And the Department of Justice provided legal cover for it? We need a hearing ASAP.

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats press for hearing on legality of Trump’s extrajudicial killings in Caribbean Sea.

PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test. They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Fragile.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? Trump nominee: Joe Biden was certified the winner. Blumenthal: You’re not answering the question. Nominee: I will repeat that. Blumenthal: Don’t insult my intelligence by asking me to accept that answer.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: I want to address the events at Brown University and the aftermath. It’s an ongoing investigation. Speculation is not helpful to the investigation. It gets people agitated and revved up. Just shut up—until we know who did it and why.

Sen. DURBIN: ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting American citizens, even veterans. This is the type of thing we expect from totalitarian regimes that have rightfully been relegated to the trash heap of history. We cannot tolerate it.

Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors in the House today. Still crickets from Senate Republicans on bringing him in. Why are Republicans so afraid of the world hearing what he has to say?

Criminal justice reform must be a continuous conversation. Congress needs to reform outdated sentencing laws.

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, GRASSLEY introduce four bipartisan criminal justice reform bills to help make our justice system fairer and communities safer.

Beneath the dignity of a president. Making a murder about you personally is embarrassing and cruel.

Sen. DURBIN: The Trump Administration is rounding up tens of thousands of immigrants with no criminal history. Only 2.5 percent of immigrants arrested by ICE in Illinois in September and October had been convicted of a violent crime.

Sen. WELCH: I’m concerned about this Trump nominee’s role in January 6th. He was present on January 6th at the Capitol. We already rejected Ed Martin for his ties to January 6th. It’s shocking that we’re forgetting 150 officers were injured that day.

Sen. DURBIN: I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump rejecting a bipartisan immigration deal because he didn’t want immigrants from ‘s***hole’ countries. He denied it. Two Republican Senators claimed I was lying. Now, he’s bragging about it. This is racism, plain and simple.

Senate Judiciary Republicans just advanced an extreme, unqualified U.S. Attorney nominee. No federal court experience. Never tried a case to verdict, judgment, or final decision. Not one significant litigation matter. Defends the January 6th insurrection. A rubber stamp.

Sen. DURBIN: Kristi Noem has stiff-armed this committee, refusing to commit to a hearing date. Mr. Chairman, you have the power to issue a subpoena. It will be bipartisan. It’s time for Noem to stop galivanting around the country and be held accountable.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

Sen. DURBIN: Donald Trump has engaged in a lawless, failing mass deportation campaign. He has diverted resources away from drug trafficking, gun violence, and other threats and put us at risk.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Parents don’t want speeches. They want a law. The House has weakened the Kids Online Safety Act that would prevent abuses and impose a legal responsibility on Big Tech. It’s a disservice to parents, children, and victims.

Sen. DURBIN: The threat is accelerating, and the numbers tell the story. What are we going to do about it? Now’s the time to address online child exploitation. America’s children cannot wait any longer.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: We need votes. The Senate passed the Kids Online Safety Act in a 91-3 vote last session, but House Republican leadership failed to give KOSA a vote. Not a vote.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: What will happen if we pass my bill to force social media companies to remove nonconsensual images of children? NCMEC expert: It’d address one of the biggest threats our kids face and finally gives children their power back.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Parents who lost their children to online exploitation already suffer an enormous loss. Congress shouldn’t tell them they can’t get justice because of the platform.

Sen. HIRONO: Child exploitation is only getting worse. This issue has a bipartisan focus, and there is a desire to do more.

Sen. DURBIN: If you have the nerve to give a speech here, you should on the Senate floor, too. We must bring the same sense of urgency to protecting kids in the virtual world that we do in the real world.

ICE puts a U.S. citizen in a chokehold, forcing him to his knees in the snow. When he offers his ID, agents ignore him.

Cousin of U.S. citizen zip-tied, inappropriately touched, detained by ICE: They asked what could you be hiding under your hijab? Stuff like that. They even made jokes saying this is the wrong attire to try running away from us in. I feel upset—I call Minnesota home.

It’s law. Active members of the Armed Forces should not obey unlawful or illegal orders. This country deserves a President and federal law enforcement that uphold the law, not use the threat of prosecution to chill speech.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: “If you’re doing something that’s just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.”

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats push back against FBI, DOJ investigation threats targeting six Members of Congress for releasing a video simply reiterating current law—military members do not have to obey unlawful or illegal orders.

Dayanne Figueroa is a Chicagoan, an American citizen, a mother, and a victim of the Trump Administration’s cruel anti-immigrant agenda. ICE agents smashed her car, pulled her with guns drawn, and violently arrested her. Thank you for bravely sharing your story with Congress.

US citizen and veteran detained by ICE: I’m here as a veteran, father, and ordinary person who believes in our country. I respect law enforcement, but I also believe accountability is the foundation for respect. I was arrested and detained by ICE agents.

Rep. GARCIA: Our witnesses today have been in some cases abused, smeared, and mistreated by our own government. The Trump Administration is telling blatant lies about their conduct. You’re bringing light to what’s happening to US citizens as they interact with ICE and DHS.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: This report ought to shock America’s conscience. At least 22 American citizens were treated in a way we would not tolerate for anyone. Our fellow citizens are being abused and mistreated by ICE agents and the United States government.

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, GRASSLEY introduce landmark legislative package to help protect kids online.

Bye 👋

Dreamers are American in every sense of the word except on paper.
