This is unhinged. Trump’s assault on the independence of the Federal Reserve is bad for the economy. It means making economic decisions based on political reasons, not economic reasons and leads to inflation aka higher prices, dollar weakness, and instability.

Rep. Angie Craig just exposed DHS/ICE going fully rogue. Congress has the right and obligation to inspect detention centers without notice, but ICE blocked her entry anyways. Kristi Noem has told her agency to go rogue and that’s exactly what Rep. Craig witnessed today. What are they hiding?

This wasn’t about leaks, it was keeping the American people in the dark. Congress has a duty to keep our men and women in uniform out of harms way unless an absolutely necessary. We need leadership that puts our country first, not giant oil corporations and one man's greed.

Trump just delivered the worst year for job growth outside a recession since 2003. Back when he was only ruining reality tv.

Yesterday, our worst fears became reality: Trump's dangerous ICE and CBP crackdowns killed a U.S. citizen. This violence isn’t isolated to one city or one moment. It’s spreading, and it will only get worse as more agents are rushed into ICE and CBP operations under Donald Trump and Kristi Noem.

Tonight, I voted to extend the ACA premium tax credits to lower costs and keep families covered. Now, Trump and Senate Republicans are standing in the way and may not even allow it to move forward. When premiums go up and people lose coverage, Republicans will be to blame.

Three year extension of ACA subsidies passes in the House

Let’s be absolutely clear: an investigation where the Trump administration is investigating itself is a SHAM. We need REAL accountability for this killing.

BREAKING: The AP just reported that Minnesota investigators say they can’t access evidence after the fatal ICE shooting, and the FBI has declined to join the probe.

What the …f*%k! They have lost their damn minds.

It will never be enough for the unholy trinity: Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump. After murdering a woman in her car, their next move was to storm a public high school and terrorize kids and staff. These kids will never forget this for the rest of their lives.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

Coordinated attacks? This was the glove compartment of the mother your agents just murdered @Sec_Noem

Noem: "People need to stop using their vehicles as weapons ... it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained"

We knew something horrible like this was bound to happen if Trump's ICE continued to run rampant through our streets. Let me be clear: these abuses MUST have consequences, NO ONE is above the law.

Republicans have forgotten that they represent the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: ICE has shot and killed a U.S. citizen. This is what happens when DHS lowers recruitment standards and rushes an enforcement surge into a city with no plan, no accountability, and no regard for human life. Kristi Noem: blood is on your hands.

Partisan pandering on FULL display. CBS News, recently bought and restaffed by Trump allies, is rewriting history in favor of Trump and not even trying to hide it. Let's be clear, the January 6th attack was a violent attempted coup orchestrated by Donald Trump.
