ICE has shot another person, this time it was in Austin, Texas. His name is Wilber Garcés Pérez and he was shot while doing his job. He should be home with his family, not in ICE detention with no medical care. This chaos has no place in our communities.

Trump's response? He has American military grovel on the ground to fête Chinese leaders with a spotless red carpet.

what an incredibly fucked up thing to say to the UN
Trump: "In January, at my direction, the United States military conducted a massive military operation penetrating deep into the Venezuelan capital ... it was a war. To the victor belong the spoils."

I just received a notification of another death in ICE custody – the 57th death during Trump’s second term.
It’s time to shut down these private, for-profit detention centers.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

Countless members of Congress have yet to hold a single public town hall.
In the 119th Congress alone, I've held 28 town halls —and over 100 since I was first elected.
EVERY Member of Congress should hold monthly town halls. I'm introducing a bill to require the same.

Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!
