Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no β€˜misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as β€œcommander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed β€” the House voted, but not the Senate β€” It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Here's a gift link to the New York's Times' timeline of Homeland Security's killing of Alex Pretti. It shows clearly what actually happened and makes it abundantly clear that the Trump regime is lying to cover up a murder.

This is apparently real. People who voted for him must've wanted someone stupider than they are. I'm sorry, but he's a " low-IQ individual," to quote the Low-IQ Individual in Chief.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need β€œmore training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβ€”impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
