As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

Winsome Earle-Sears said Trump’s tax bill “does so many great things” — yet it raises costs for families across the Commonwealth.

We’ve heard enough. It’s clear that she cares more about Trump than making life easier for Virginians. See for yourself:

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

Trump’s harebrained, chaotic tariffs are now dragging down the entire economy!!! Along with higher prices for all of us, even though he promised to lower prices from Day 1.

Trump Fails at Basic Math. Apparent memory loss too. He’s Proposed RAISING TARIFFS on Drug Imports, which would increase drug prices.

If Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials can brief an election-denier group on how states are now using its databases to verify voters’ citizenship, then they can brief Congress, a trio of Democratic senators wrote to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
