Indiana on the verge of adopting legislation with stringent requirements that local law enforcement & sheriffs help ICE.

The bill is aggressive — e.g. requiring full compliance with detainers; far-right AG still trying to make it even stronger. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/27/i...

At a time when Black history is being erased, it’s more important than ever to keep diverse stories and histories alive.

This Black History Month, I wanted to share books that have inspired me and are fundamental to my thinking, politic, & how I represent our district in the Capitol every day.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The President of the United States raped underage women.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

It’s not every journalist there but I personally know that the New York Times has in recent years published lies without any fact checking

And I know this with complete confidence because the lies were about me and I know that no fact checkers contacted me

This is a huge problem

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

Dear God.

I am deeply concerned about the reckless termination of $600 million in federal grants by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2/3 of this funding was allocated to CA public health departments, and 20+ of the terminated grants supported HIV prevention. (1/2)

The SAVE America Act is blatantly anti-Democratic. I voted NO – for the generations that have come before and the generations that will come after, like my 14 year-old-daughter – we cannot make it harder to vote.

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist.
