Arizona Republicans introduced a proposal on Jan. 12 that would effectively criminalize any attempts to “obstruct” ICE officers’ arrests. The plan was announced just days after a deadly shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good.

The weight of this grief is suffocating. It’s not just one loss — it’s the tens of thousands brutalized, disappeared, and killed — and the ones we know are still to come. It’s the exhaustion of standing witness to the same cruelty, the same violence, again and again.

They aren't going to drop this 'goal' of taking food away from people who need it. Of the reapplications, I wonder what percent would actually be approved again. Surely they will move the goalposts on eligibility.

The Trump admin. will require all SNAP participants to reapply, claiming an anti-fraud crackdown, though fraud is minimal and states already recertify regularly.
Mass reapplications will overwhelm offices, cause delays, and put children, seniors, and working families at risk of losing benefits.

With heating costs up and winter weather on the horizon, families shouldn't have to choose between staying warm and putting food on the table.
I joined a bipartisan group of 32 senators in calling on Trump to release LIHEAP funding to keep families safe and warm this winter.

Justice for Virginia and the hundreds of other victims is long overdue.
