A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool.

This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

While ICE terrorizes our communities, private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic are raking it in.

They of course have been some of Trump's biggest donors.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant.

That is unconstitutional.

History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

On the campaign trail, Trump railed against private equity tax loopholes.

As president, he's enacted more tax breaks and regulatory rollbacks that benefit the industry — and his war on the IRS has gutted the agency's capacity to audit PE firms.

Promises made, promises broken.

Watch this. @slotkin.senate.gov lays out exactly what it looks like when a president uses the FBI and DOJ as political weapons to punish free speech.

The goal is clear: intimidate critics and chill dissent.
Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like.

The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work.

Watch my full response.

Over the last week, we’ve seen federal agents arresting, threatening, and using force against innocent bystanders.

They have carried out enforcement actions in schools, at hospitals, and in one horrific instance shot and killed someone.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.

The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Nothing trickled down.
