This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

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.

More norm busting, or really dynamiting. Any search of reporter’s phone has been exceedingly rare, requiring special signoffs within DOJ. But search of reporter’s home basically unheard of. And this looks to be petty and political, not eg national security.

The videos people are taking of ICE agents torturing human beings are breaking through.
And that is why they want us to be afraid to record them.
We cannot look away.

The atrocities of the trump regime are documented and undeniable. And yet the people most able to do something, congressional republicans, do and say NOTHING. We need politicians with a moral compass and the guts to do what is right.

They use Nazi slogans and deploy Nazi terror tactics…but don’t call them Nazis, otherwise you’ll get a heap of Nazi gaslighting about being responsible for them being Nazis.

@aoc.bsky.social has this exactly right.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

In case you missed it: Senate Democrats tried to stop a Trump Administration rule from raising health care costs, and Republicans blocked us. The folks stuck paying the price will be working families.

Congressman Moulton is joining as a cosponsor of Congresswoman Kelly's articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem.

Accountability can't wait.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Congress has an obligation—and a legal right—to conduct oversight of federal facilities.

Trump, Kristi Noem, and this administration are breaking the law to avoid accountability.

I’m taking them to court.

Grocery prices are still going up for American families.

And there is nothing in Venezuela or Greenland that is going to change that.

How about focusing closer to home?

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan

"One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

No official seal on the podium.
“One of ours, all of yours”
A Nazi slogan indicating to protesting civilians that if you hurt one of ours we will kill all of you and yours.
No dog whistles.

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.
