The president’s extreme and inhumane mass deportation agenda undermines the civil liberties of American citizens and endangers beloved members of our community.
We all must continue to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability for these abuses of power.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

As Trump's Washington is now clearly Putin's most important ally, it is simply logical for all of the European countries holding frozen Russian $billions to seize that money & use it to fund Ukraine's continued defense & eventual reconstruction after Putin surrenders. Russia is losing this war...

Republican Senators slipped this nugget into the CR last night. Rigging the legal system to give $500,000 or more to each of them because someone followed the facts and looked at their phone records. That’s your money folks.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Today in the Supreme Court, the president’s own lawyers said that the American people will pay 30-80% of the $4 trillion in tariffs.
Meanwhile, we’re experiencing an affordability crisis: rising costs of groceries, cuts to food benefits, and more.
This is a betrayal of trust.
