Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

Last week, I led 143 Democrats on a letter to Speaker Johnson (tag him, not a collab), demanding he bring the House back into session so we can get back to work. Our neighbors can’t wait — we need Republicans back in DC to do our jobs and negotiate a path forward. (1/

Some House Republicans are breaking ranks — and it isn’t rocket science as to why:

Costs are up, rural hospitals are closing, and Speaker Johnson refuses to end week four of their vacation while the government remains shut down.

In a brazen political act, Secretary Chris Wright cancelled over $600 million for Colorado energy projects.

I’m demanding answers on the reckless decision because Coloradans shouldn’t be forced to pay the price with higher energy costs and layoffs across our state.

Give me a break, Mike. The opposite is true, and you damn well know it.

You call it “historic and heroic,” but what you’re really bragging about is Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation blueprint to gut democracy, hand unchecked power to one man, and erase social programs.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Trump says he will not give NYC federal funds if Mamdani wins while promising to give $20B to Argentina.

How is this America First?

This is election interference. Blue states should stop sending tax $$ to the federal government.
