They are going down the list of amendments now. And the entire ICE action is the most obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment this country has ever seen.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that when you ban abortion and try to criminalize OBGYNs for practicing medicine, there will be fewer OBGYNs in your state.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

New Mexico is ready to prove universal childcare works. Families will save up to $12,000 per child per year. We actually had this system during WWII and it worked too. When I get to Congress, I'll fight to bring this nationwide. Every working family deserves affordable childcare. #UniversalChildcare

Republicans had months to keep healthcare affordable for working families. Instead, they played politics while families in NJ-07 and around the country face hundreds more in monthly premiums starting January 1st. This is exactly the kind of dysfunction I'm running to fix.
