.@Sec_Noem, your options are limited: You either resign; Your supreme leader fires you; Or you will be impeached. Today, I took the first step towards your impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into your lawlessness.

DHS is stripping unaccompanied minors of their safety. More than 6,200 children have been in ICE detention, including at least 500 babies. No baby or child should be held in detention.   Congress must take action! I joined @RepDexterOR to establish clear protections for immigrant children.
This administration has treated children with disgusting cruelty and callousness. After seeing it up close, I had to take action. The Dignity and Due Process for Children Act will establish a floor of legal protections every child in this country should expect. This is a floor. A starting place. We must pass this legislation now. No child belongs in prison, and until this is the law of the land, we must ensure their most basic rights are protected. CHILDREN must be protected, not treated as criminals.

Civil society is the first line of defense from abuses of power by authoritarians like Trump. And just like authoritarians do, Trump is weaponizing the government, raiding and intimidating organizations that protect our civil rights. That's what desperate wannabe dictators do to suppress and chill dissent. But we will not be silenced! An attack on civil society is an attack on all of us. We will hold the Trump administration accountable.

As DHS continues to strip unaccompanied minors of their safety and immigrants of legal protections, they are deploying ICE agents to raid and intimidate legal service providers and organizations.   As fascists do, the Trump administration is weaponizing the government to supress dissent and scare us into surrending our rights. But they won't succeed.   No matter who is at the helm, DHS is a weapon. It can't be reformed. We must abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.

59 years ago, the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Loving v. Virginia advanced Americans' civil right to marry, legalizing interracial marriage across the country.   Today, as multiracial and mixed status families are still the target of white supremacist attacks, we must remember the power we have to fight for our civil rights. We must recommit to protect diverse families and demand their equal treatment under the law.

AI tools are being used to surveil, target, and violate our rights and privacy.   We cannot settle for unregulated, unaccountable AI. We must establish rules, limits, and oversight on AI companies.

The violent and cruel tactics deployed against immigrant detainees and U.S. citizens exercising their right to protest at Delaney Hall are unlawful, unconstitutional, and unacceptable. @replamonica and I are demanding Markwayne, as the new Secretary of DHS, enforce a Use of Force Policy across the country. A Use of Force Policy should NOT be a suggestion - it should be mandatory.

While working families are facing a crushing affordability crisis, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire. We are seeing the effects of a system that has never worked for working people. But we are clear: Working families deserve better! I will continue fighting to pass my Living Wage for All Act, my Pensions for All Act, and my Equal Tax Act. We will not stop until working families are guaranteed EVERY SINGLE THING we need to thrive.
Elon Musk has become the first person to cross the trillionaire threshold, at least on paper, after SpaceX priced its blockbuster initial public offering at $135 a share. cbsn.ws/4vKWwUo

10 years ago, 49 lives were taken in a horrific act of hate at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. As we remember those who lost that day, we must recommit to dismantling all forms of anti-LGBTQIA hate, and we must pass gun control reforms to protect our communities.

For years, Puerto Ricans in Humboldt Park, my neighbors, have organized to end the unacceptable colonial status of Puerto Rico. We are clear that any legislation that attempts to address the future of the archipelago by reinforcing colonialism betrays Puerto Ricans and every person committed to ending the long-standing imperialism of the United States. As we approach July 4th, we must affirm the fundamental freedom that was sought, but has been continuously denied to so many: No kings, NO COLONIES.
A status bill that includes colonialism as an option is not decolonization. @RepAOC & I oppose the Resident Commissioner's legislation & will keep fighting for real self-determination for Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico's colonial status is a stain on our history. It must end.

A burning cross is one of our nation's most violent, hateful symbols of white supremacist terror. 

White supremacy is a threat to our shared humanity and our multicultural, multiracial democracy. It makes us all less safe. 

We must continue to resist and confront hate and oppression in all their forms.

Salah must be released. Wrongfully detained for exercising his right to dissent, the Trump administration used immigration detention to silence him. As his health declines in ICE custody, I joined @RepGwenMoore to demand his immediate release. We will not give up on our constitutional rights nor abandon our neighbors!

Republicans in Congress are weaponizing oversight and federal education funding as a tactic to attack CPS. Schools are meant to be sanctuary spaces for our young people – including those of the LGBTQI community – to dream, grow, and realize their full potential. Using the power of Congress to bully children and their families is unacceptable. As Members of Congress, we must affirm our fundamental belief that every child is precious and deserving of dignity, love, care, and opportunity.

As the product of public schools, I proudly stood with CPS students, educators, parents, and human rights organizations to say: Hands off our children, our schools, our cities!   Our communities won’t betray the fundamental belief that every child is precious and deserving of dignity, love, care, and opportunity.

Last night, Republicans gave Trump an additional $70 billion for DHS's mass deportation campaign. The same campaign that has resulted in abductions and kidnappings, the militarization of our cities, the murder of our neighbors, the persecution of dissent, and the rise of fascism in our nation. Republicans are complicit in the terror ICE and CBP have unleashed on our communities. But the fight is not over; we must continue working to abolish ICE and dismantle DHS! Any outraged member should cosponsor Melt ICE Act as a first step!
