This breaks my heart.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.
The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Thank you Eric for your leadership on pushing for progress! we’re all in this together! #pushforprogress
We're launching our Push for Progress campaign to accelerate ALS research, expand treatment access, & secure $1BN in federal funding over 3 years. ALS is at a tipping point CLOSE to new treatments, but thousands will lose access unless we TAKE ACTION @ iamals.org/progress

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year.
Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually.
The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

This is a disgrace, RFK, Jr. Restore the research funding today!
My constituent Brian Wallach has been fighting ALS for 8 years, alongside his wife and two daughters. They hope that a breakthrough in ALS will give Brian a chance for a future with his family.
By firing researchers and cutting ALS funding, RFK Jr. and the Trump Admin are taking away that hope.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Not efficient, not competent, not legal.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
