Dear @ICEgov: Your out of control agency has killed people. Your personnel will be investigated. And if the facts warrant it, a future Administration will prosecute your personnel who violated the law. November is coming.
Oh my god. A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after being released by DHS in the middle of the winter and far away from where they lived.

Why do Republicans say AOC is “just a bartender” when she has a masters in economics, but they don’t say Markwayne Mullin is just a plumber? HINT: racism and misogyny

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

Mamuka Artmeladze was 43 years old. He had no criminal record. No charges. No court date. He entered this country legally and was swept up in a mass enforcement operation targeting truck drivers. ICE’s own records confirm he posed no threat and should not have been detained at all. After 4 months inside Winn Correctional Center, a for-profit facility already under federal investigation for banned chokehold use, falsified medical records, and inhumane conditions, Mamuka was found unresponsive in his cell. He was pronounced dead less than an hour later. The cause of death is still pending autopsy. ICE has offered no answers. This is not an isolated incident. Fifty people have died in ICE custody since this administration took office — the deadliest period for immigration detention in over two decades. This is a system. 🎥: @hereswhykevin

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.

This is Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Democratic U.S. Representative who has served Ohio's 3rd Congressional District since 2013. Rep. Beatty brought the lawsuit that resulted in Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center. She's our Hero of the Week.

Days after Republicans gave ICE goons another $70 billion, a U.S. citizen was pinned to the ground and tased while restrained, and witnesses threatened at gunpoint. These disgusting abuses aren't slowing down. They're being rewarded. Don't look away.

“It’s time to wake the fuck up” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

Again to be clear they stopped counting deaths at 800,000 in December 2025. It is well over a million now
Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Another sad example of how Republicans dishonor women, even those who gave their lives for our country.
This is Sad! For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery. Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down. Why? Because the ceremony recognized women. This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation. Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway. We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸

This is how it's done! Excellent job by Rep. Sykes!
here's the full clip of Rep. Emilia Sykes's brilliant line of questioning that made Chris Wright squirm by confronting him with the completely unhinged comments Trump just made in the Oval Office about inflation and the war in Iran

🔥Hakeem Jeffries torches GOP’s $70B blank check to Trump’s mass deportation machine: “Taxpayer dollars should make life more affordable—NOT fund brutality against American citizens, families, kids & veterans.” No oversight. No guardrails. Pure cruelty. Please watch and share!

#TraitorTrump & his Regime are allowing public lands & waters to be pillaged for profit. Repubs don't care about protecting our own country, much less the rest of the planet.
Imagine an underwater Grand Canyon where corals have been growing since before the United States was founded. 🐠 Plunged in total darkness. Untouched. Protected. Until one signature changed everything. On February 6, 2026, that's exactly what happened. The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is bigger than Yellowstone. Its submarine canyons drop into depths we're still mapping. There are sea creatures here science hasn't even named yet. It’s underwater mountains — millions of years old, rise from the ocean floor, drawing sperm whales and endangered right whales from miles away. The cold-water corals living here? Some have been growing for over a thousand years. A trawl net destroys them in seconds. They don't grow back in our lifetimes. The monument was created in 2016 for one reason — to keep this ecosystem off limits from exactly this kind of destruction. It worked. Until February. One person. One signature. Zero public input. No congressional vote. No comment period. Just a proclamation — and a thousand-year-old ecosystem lost its protection overnight. Proclamation 11009 — "Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Atlantic"— erased the ban overnight. Trawl gear, dredges, otter nets. Now permitted inside monument boundaries. And here's the part that should make you angry — this administration tried this exact move in 2020. Conservation groups sued. They won. Biden restored protections. Now we're back here. How many more monuments have to lose their protections before Congress does something? 🐠 #DemsUnited

Today, Republicans voted to add another $70 billion slush fund to the lawless and unaccountable agencies of ICE and CBP with zero reforms. We should be investing in the American people, not sending billions more to these agencies. My full statement:

Our kids are dying. And they laugh. During a debate on requiring safe storage of guns, a senior House Republican clapped and laughed at their inaction on gun safety. This is not normal. This should never be normal.

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

Teenagers, toddlers, & babies have been abducted & taken to Dilley. And Republican & their private prison corporation friends are profiting from the pain of child abuse, child neglect, & childhood trauma. We must close Dilley & end this state-inflicted trauma.
