Newly unsealed documents confirm that the Trump regime knowingly targeted students for their free speech. Rubio and Noem worked to arrest and deport students for exercising their First Amendment rights, weaponizing legitimate concerns about antisemitism to crush dissent and amass power.

I voted against giving another penny to ICE and Kristi Noem and remain hopeful that Senate Democrats will do the same. We must stop these lawless attacks on innocent American citizens.
We will continue to expose the Trump regime’s lies and demand accountability.

While I have been a sponsor of Kristi Noem impeachment resolution since it was first filed, Trump should dismiss her this week. ICE has become a 3-letter word for lie, and Noem another way of saying incompetent, irresponsible.

Trump’s Board of Peace, more accurately known as his “Board of Hypocrisy,” composed of war criminals, thugs, and the intimidated. Not focused on Gaza, since Palestinians excluded. Only about Trump wanting to be king of the universe.

As liar-in-chief, Trump has clearly inspired his agents to lie about Minneapolis killings of American citizens and to obstruct state and local law enforcement from conducting independent investigations. So much lawlessness and disregard of our Constitution, Trump, Bondi, and Noem should be impeached

Alex Pretti, a nurse who cared for our veterans, was dedicated to helping others in any way he could serve. Though he posed no threat, this beautiful life was cut far too short by trigger-happy ICE agents.

My thoughts recorded yesterday about Trump regime flooding cities with unwanted and unnecessary ICE agents. More violence, more suffering, more chaos, more tragedies. 5 times more federal agents invading Minneapolis than its entire police dept.

As Republicans seek to impose a nationwide abortion ban, I spoke out against their failure to recognize the right to life for so many women across the country. Women like Kaitlyn Kash and Amanda Zurawski who were denied life-saving treatment during pregnancy complications because of Texas GOP’s ban.

New whistleblower report: ICE is telling agents they can break into homes without a judicial warrant--a blatant attack on our Fourth Amendment. The Trump regime is returning us to the kind of wrongdoing engaged in by the Red Coats, which was cited in our Declaration of Independence.

Starting wars around the world wherever Trump’s whim takes him will only make us much less safe. To found this country, Americans got rid of one despotic king. We don’t need another one. I urged my colleagues to support the Venezuela War Powers Resolution and demand an accountable president.

A recent GAO report identified a serious fraud problem in Obamacare that must be addressed. And that’s exactly what the Biden administration did by suspending 850 agents and brokers for suspected fraudulent conduct. Those same brokers were reinstated by Trump without an explanation.

Instead of targeting "the worst of the worst,” Trump orders ICE to violently provoke—dragging law abiding families from their homes, churches, schools, and health care facilities. Important for neighbors to make full use of the power of nonviolent protest against these injustices.

Trump doesn’t want to be just king of America. He wants to be king of the universe. With the “Board of Peace” unable to stabilize Gaza, Trump has expanded its mission and invited fellow authoritarians Putin, Lukashenko, and Orban to join a pay-to-play institution in Trump's own megalomaniac image.

For many years, he was practically my next-door neighbor. I have valued his friendship and advice for decades and extend my condolences to his many friends, and especially to his son Thomas, who ably continues the paper.

Tommie Wyatt was a big man with a big heart who recognized and uplifted so many people, whose contributions might otherwise have gone unnoticed. The same year that I was first elected state senator, he founded The Villager, a weekly newspaper widely circulated among African-Americans.

Trump’s costly trade war continues to backfire, bigly. While his tariffs taxes have sent prices skyrocketing for consumers, America lost 68K manufacturing jobs in 2025, including 29K in autos. Now we’ve ceded the Canadian EV market to China. Trump’s tariffs are making America poorer and China richer

More phony investigations as Trump seeks to intimidate and suppress any critic. Patriotic Americans will not be silenced by his regime. We must continue peacefully pushing back against a wannabe king.

Trump pledged to bring prices down on Day One. A year later, inflation has cost working families $1,625 in higher prices, and policies like his steep tariff taxes worsened it. While the wealthiest few have benefited greatly from the GOP’s Big Ugly Law, working Americans are stuck with the bill.

Trump continues to endanger Americans as the U.S. becomes the only country to withdraw from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. He continues to surrender U.S. global leadership, empowering China to fill the vacuum and dominate the clean energy economy.

Trump once again endangers our security and serves Putin by weakening NATO through an extraordinary message to the Norwegian Prime Minister: “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace”

Trump says he’s cracking down on fraud. His plan? To pardon it.
He’s only merciful to those who pledge loyalty or millions to him: repeat fraudsters, mortgage scammers, and inside traders.

With soaring healthcare premiums and grocery prices that keep climbing, Trump focus on yet another pointless use of force against a long-time ally is not only deeply unpopular but would undermine NATO benefitting Trump’s buddy, Vladimir Putin.

Masked operations dragging law abiding neighbors out of their homes is unfair, unjust, and un-American. Just as criminals must be held accountable, those ICE agents, who provoke violence and brutalize immigrants, must be held accountable. They have no “absolute immunity” for their wrongdoing.

With more Trump slashing of federal research funding, Microsoft’s chief scientist is correct in warning that America could fall behind in the global AI race. After losing almost a billion in funding, academics are moving abroad, risking the future of US scientific research and advancement.
