That would play right into Trump and company’s hands. We need people to use their heads, not lose them. This is gonna be a marathon. But we’ll outlast them and we won’t back down.

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

Is this what you meant by one of those offensive dumb things young boys do that you talked about the other day?

Want to fight this? Don’t respond to Trump. He doesn’t care. Demonstrate in front of every Republican member of Congress’s office in your state, even if they are not your district & demand restoration of healthcare cuts & the release of the Epstein files. They are the weak link. Exploit it.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. — ProPublica

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

This movement is about delivering something better for New Jersey — lower costs, more opportunity for our kids, and a government that's truly accountable to the people.

$40 billion could provide more than a year of affordable health care for millions of Americans.

Instead, Trump uses your taxpayer dollars to bail out his “favorite president” in Argentina.

U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
