Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.

ICE didn't even keep his family updated.

The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm pressing with Senator Markey and Rep. Pressley to hold ICE accountable.

Add this to our list of blatant war crimes. Hegseth, along with every officer along the chain of command, must be prosecuted.

That's a hell of an introduction! My first match was a scoreless draw at TCF in 2017, but it was enough to get me hooked.

War with Iran, ICE agents rounding up and killing citizens, concentration camps under construction, crimes of a child rapist covered up by DOJ… Yup, total vindication for people who claimed our biggest threat was transgender folks using public restrooms.

Just utter incompetence

A disaster of an administration

And very little criticism from the media, of course

A week ago, the ACLU got DHS officials to admit on record that there would be an additional 407 agents throughout March on top of the 150 CBP agents we would normally have here.

The idea that we are down to pre-surge levels is a lie that needs to be corrected for the country. We are still occupied.

There’s a movement to draft Barron Trump, but I think a campaign such as this would be more effective if it impacted someone Donald Trump knew personally.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state.
