Your taxpayer dollars are funding Trump’s out-of-control DHS and inhumane detention centers.
The ICE Funding Accountability Act and the Private Detention Accountability are two ways I’m fighting to stop it.
It's time for Congress to step up and reign in this administration.
ICE won't talk to the people who live in Roxbury, NJ because they know that nobody wants a detention center in their backyard.
I spoke with the community there and it's crystal clear: nobody wants this.
ICE is invading your communities, buying up warehouses, and converting them into detention facilities the size of 8 football fields.
I’m taking action in Congress to stop it.
This should worry all of us. Trump doesn’t care about safe and secure elections, he just cares about himself and his power.

Frost: Asking questions about UFOs… it has nothing to do with the investigation. Don't waste our time. Don't waste the time of survivors who have been waiting and waiting for justice.

"Just like the Forever Wars, this fiasco is also birthing its own captive constituencies... from contractors supplying it to MAGA-adjacent young (and not so young) men signing up for ICE, which Ganz describes as 'an employment program for the Trumpenproletarian mob."

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.
Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.
They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.
Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.

A lesson in right vs wrong:
Using government power to target political enemies is wrong.
Standing up for those who are targeted is right.
Bowing down is wrong.
Refusing to be deterred and stating tall is right.
Silence is wrong.
Peaceful opposition is right.
