would be nice to hear @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social say this too
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

don't negotiate for things they are already supposed to be doing @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:

- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions

He doesn’t even *ask* for it.
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.

a great start but not enough. keep pressing @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
Schumer calls for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to be removed from their jobs.

Rep. Randy Fine on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "I blame Ilhan Omar for what happened"
January 28, 2026 at 4:59 PM
you should cosponsor this @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

End Qualified Immunity now. Hold the ICE officer who blocked aid accountable for Renee Good’s death.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.
This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

If ICE is now training new officers that they can forcibly enter residences based on an administrative warrant, "more training" is not the solution to our ICE problems.
January 22, 2026 at 12:03 AM
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
January 21, 2026 at 11:23 PM
this isn't an issue of training @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social

Hey @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social it'd be cool to hear you speak up about this too. She's your lt gov, ya know.
This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"
January 15, 2026 at 7:22 PM
he's talking about you @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social
I think it's just the cowardice that gets me. It can't be any worse, what ICE is doing, and it's still not enough to get many Democrats to condemn them root and branch as Gestapo. The gulf between their cowardice in power and the courage of people on the ground in Minneapolis with no such power...

hey @kaine.senate.gov what the absolute fuck are you doing?
BREAKING: The Senate confirmed the first lifetime judge of 2026. Seven Democrats inexplicably voted to confirm Alexander Van Hook to the Western District of Louisiana.

If all Dems/Independents voted no, given absent Republicans, the vote would've failed. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/with-democ...

Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First.

How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

Your dumb
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?
January 7, 2026 at 7:09 PM
Hey @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social you guys represent a lot of military folks. You think they're cool with this? This is a threat to all of their retirement pay. Maybe you should do something about it.
The Pentagon will cut the military retirement pay of Sen. Mark Kelly for what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Arizona Democrat’s “seditious” statements on a video telling service members they have the right to refuse to execute illegal orders.
