This is happening, people. They are brutalizing, abducting and detaining peaceful protesters. And they are doing it anonymously with no accountability. This could happen to anyone.

In this recording from our live conversation, I spoke with Evanston resident Jennifer Moriarty, who was "grabbed by the neck" and then detained while peacefully protesting against ICE.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto.
Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

The House CR has lots of problems, but a big one is that it restricts how the District of Columbia spends its OWN money. This doesn't save a single federal tax dollar—it just treats DC residents like pawns.
It's undemocratic and un-American. I will fight it on the Senate floor.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
