Caretakers taken from seniors, our neighbors stolen away in the night, too few nurses to care for too many sick – these are the consequences of purposely thoughtless, unforgivably cruel immigration policy.

This march did not start with us.
63 years past the first March on Washington, I was proud to carry the torch lit by heroes of our history like Dr. King and John Lewis, as we confront the same fight against injustice and inequality that they devoted their lives to defeating.

Anthropic disclosed the previously undetected incident one week after ChatGPT developer OpenAI said one of its systems hacked a tech company.

If scammers steal your money, they shouldn't get to keep it.
That's why we're reintroducing legislation to fix a legal loophole and help families get money back when they’ve been ripped off.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent each day of the last 35 years making this nation better. He was a loving father and husband, a hard worker, and everything an American should aspire to be. He was all that and so, so much more. But ICE didn’t even hesitate to make him its next victim.
