My Republican colleagues who claim to value personal rights against government overreach now have an opportunity & obligation to prove that rhetoric is real. 5/

I am deeply grateful to brave whistleblowers who have come forward & put the rights of their fellow Americans first. 4/
In our democracy, with vanishingly rare exceptions, the government is barred from breaking into your home without approval from a real judge. Government agents have no right to ransack your bedroom or terrorize your kids on a whim or personal desire. 3/
It is an unlawful & morally repugnant policy that exemplifies the kinds of dangerous, disgraceful abuses America is seeing in real time. 2/
BREAKING: Whistleblower disclosures reveal a formal ICE policy to ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
Every American should be terrified by this secret ICE policy authorizing its agents to kick down your door & storm into your home. 1/
No wonder DOJ senior prosecutors are jumping ship—as Trump’s malignly motivated team seems intent on impeding local & state law enforcers investigating Renee Good’s killer, not seeking ICE accountability. Recent Dept of Justice subpoenas mock its name.
This is a U.S. citizen.
No criminal record.
No search warrant.
No excuse.
Unabashed cruelty & indiscriminate violence is ICE’s point & purpose.
In all of Putin’s years trying to divide & decimate our NATO alliance, he’s never come as close as Trump in just a few months. Time for Republicans to stand up to Trump’s deranged, self-destructive rants—tariffs & invasion threats against friends, aiding our adversaries.
Delta Sigma Theta’s 41st Annual MLK Scholarship Breakfast was an exciting celebration of educational achievement & commitment. Thank you to a great sorority!
Always an honor to join students, teachers & wonderful Meriden community—especially Rhudean Raye, now 98—in celebrating MLK’s ideals & high schoolers who embody them.
His obstruction means skyrocketing electricity prices, thousands of jobs lost, & more damage. He should abandon any legal appeal & allow this 87% complete project to be done.
“NUTS” is how I described Trump’s lawless, reckless block on Revolution Wind last summer. Now federal courts have told him the same, albeit with greater erudition & elegance.
These subpoenas are an authoritarian threat, further weaponizing & corrupting DOJ & aiding an ongoing coverup. Feds seek to whitewash ICE, silence dissent, & exclude state & local law enforcement from investigating Good’s tragic death.
ICE needs to be held accountable for its pattern of excessive & abusive use of force. I’ve introduced legislation that would give people real recourse & remedies in the courts when their rights are violated by a federal agent.
Maintaining Stars & Stripes’ independence is essential for honest, credible reporting. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding Sec. Hegseth make clear that hiring practices & editorial decisions at Stars & Stripes won’t be based on political loyalty.
Under my Insurrection Act of 2025, the President would be barred from using the military to silence peaceful dissent & protest.
Trump’s potential abuse of the Insurrection Act cries out for reform with safeguards & guardrails that I have proposed.
In racing to finish the crypto industry’s wish list, Congress should remember the lesson of Silicon Valley Bank—tech money comes fast but disappears even faster, leaving taxpayers & investors on the hook for bailouts & losses.
Talk from Trump is cheap. I’ll be introducing strong legislation to combat skyrocketing prices from data centers. If Trump is serious about this AI-driven drain on family’s pocketbooks, he will endorse my bill & make sure it becomes law.
Big Tech is making your electrical bills skyrocket. I’ve been demanding the White House’s plan to deal with energy prices & data centers for months—instead he’s palled around with Mark Zuckerberg & the AI elite.
