Horrified by the death of our Massachusetts neighbor Emmanuel Damas in ICE custody. He was denied medical care for months.

I’m sending his family my deepest condolences. A family who has been robbed of their brother & son.

Emmanuel is at least the tenth person to die in ICE custody this year.

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Are you surprised? I’m not surprised. He is not what he wants Maine’s Dems to believe he is. This is some dark stuff.

3 US troops killed, 5 seriously wounded in actions against Iran U.S. Central Command officials announced Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed in action during combat operations.

Heartbreaking news this morning. Three American servicemembers killed, five critically wounded, and many more injured.

There are real consequences for our men and women in uniform and their families when we go to war. That’s why I will vote YES this week on the War Powers resolution.

If you watch one single clip this week, let it be this one. And watch the whole thing.

This isn't a game. This isn't about politics. This is about how corruption is destroying millions of American lives.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Citing my reporting for @propublica.org, 4 House Dems have formally asked the head of the federal prison system to explain how the agency will fix severe staffing shortages affecting safety and operations.

Ilhan Omar Says Her SOTU Guest Was Arrested and Hospitalized During Trump’s Speech Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding an explanation as to why her guest was arrested at Tuesday's State of the Union address.

“Reports indicate she was aggressively handled until someone intervened to secure medical attention. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and later booked at the United States Capitol Police headquarters,” the congresswoman said.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

This week, my good friend Fr. Jonathan Slavinskas from St. Bernard’s Church in #Worcester delivered the opening prayer for the United States House of Representatives!

Thank you, Father Jonathan, for reminding us to lead not by power, but by conscience—mindful of the dignity of every person.
