Horrified by mass deportation policies?

While Trump is president, we use every tool available to reduce the harm.

But when Democrats win back the White House, true immigration reform must be a top priority so that hardworking families can finally apply for legal status.

The Trump administration just admitted it was a "mistake" to ignore a court order and deport Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19 year old college student who was flying home to visit her family for Thanksgiving.

I'm demanding Any's immediate return.
US apologizes for mistake in deporting Massachusetts college student, but defends her removal
The Trump administration has apologized in court for mistakenly deporting a Massachusetts college student, but still argued the error should not affect her case.

Today in America we face our biggest free speech crisis in modern history. I'm proud to join @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @crow.house.gov introducing the No Political Enemies Act to protect Americans' First Amendment rights.

The Iranian government's attacks on peaceful protesters are horrific.

I stand with the Iranian people taking to the streets to peacefully demand a better future.

And I stand against Trump using these protests as pretext for another reckless attack.

Bombs do not create democracies. No more wars.

This is your daily reminder that Republicans in Congress voted to kick 17 million Americans off health insurance to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Fire Kristi Noem.

Decades after being bombed by the KKK, a Jackson, Mississippi synagogue was lit on fire.

My thoughts are with Mississippi's Jewish community. Antisemitism anywhere is a threat to the fundamental rights of all Americans.

Kristi Noem started the new year by firing even more FEMA employees.

Noem is dismantling our country’s ability to respond to disasters. Texans have already been hurt, and her recklessness will cost more lives.

I joined Representative Neguse demanding she reverse these cuts.

Kristi Noem:

-- Sent ICE to terrorize American cities, where they have shot and killed people.

-- Fired thousands of public servants at FEMA and delayed search and rescue operations in Texas by 72 hours.

-- Funneled $172 million for private jets for herself.

She's a disaster.

Here are two numbers you need to know today.

Trump is now talking about spending $500 billion for Greenland.

While 17 million Americans are about to lose health care because Republicans cut funding.

Crazy.

We need a peace movement in America.

We need safety and prosperity for people -- not wars to enrich Donald Trump's donors.

Yesterday, Trump announced he wants to channel Venezuela's oil money into a slush fund for himself.

Hell no.
January 8, 2026 at 4:09 PM
Today ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Horrific.

Trump's reckless mass deportation policies are terrorizing American cities and endangering everyone -- immigrants and U.S. Citizens alike.

The chaos and terror must end.

Trump has no right to take us to war with Venezuela. This is reckless and illegal.

Congress should vote immediately on a War Powers Resolution to stop him.

My entire life, politicians have been sending other people’s kids to die in reckless regime change wars. Enough. No new wars.

Health care is a human right, not a bargaining chip.

Republican politicians who cut health care to pay for more billionaire tax cuts, or to increase profits for their corporate donors, are selling out working families.

Wishing every Texan a safe and happy New Year’s Eve!

I'm proud of our state's resilience in a tough year, and I'm ready to keep fighting for working families in the year ahead. 💪🏽

Millions of kids are going to lose health care so that billionaires like Trump’s Secretary of Education will get a tax cut.

So I asked her to explain how that is ok.
December 30, 2025 at 8:55 PM
Trump is afraid of being held accountable by voters in 2026. He’s so afraid, he's willing to rig the maps and cheat the system.

Texans deserve fair maps and real representation.

Social Security is a promise earned over a lifetime of work.

Any politician who treats it like a bargaining chip or a business opportunity is betraying working people.

A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted because the company cut corners. OSHA’s fine was just $50,000.

Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone.

A worker’s life is worth more than a rounding error to a billionaire.
December 23, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Working people deserve a government that works for them – not one captured by billionaires and corporate lobbyists.

Congress needs to tax the rich and hold Trump accountable for his corruption.

Austin’s airport is critical to Central Texas’ economy and I was proud to fight for this federal funding.

It's a win for our community that will result in better infrastructure, good jobs, and easier, safer travel for all Texans.

Release the Epstein files.

If Trump is allowed to take bargaining rights away from federal workers, he will come for yours next.

I’m fighting back.

No war with Venezuela.
