“‘I’m a US citizen, please help me,’ she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. ‘Why are you doing this to me?’” Trump’s secret police have detained nearly 200 US citizens this year. This is illegal and it’s a danger to our democracy. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
He’s aging now and we don’t know how much longer he has, but even today, with his achy bones and health challenges, he still has that mischievous playfulness. Happy birthday Otis! Thank you for blessing us with YOU!
Otis turns 14 today! This guy has given us so much joy and taught us so much about unconditional love! He’s gotten us out for walks even when we didn’t want to and made us laugh over and over again with his spunk and his spirit.
Being undocumented is NOT a crime. And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.
Scientists in Seattle are on the frontlines of the groundbreaking research to cure HIV/AIDS. Meanwhile, Trump has slashed funding for science and research across the country. We must restore this funding to save lives. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I was proud to stand with @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, & @pressley.house.gov to introduce our AI Civil Rights Act. As giant corporations & billionaires use algorithms to discriminate against people, Congress must pass this bill to protect Americans.
The last time we had a balanced budget was in the 1990s under a Democratic President. Republicans have no room to talk about wanting to “balance the budget” after they passed the Big Bad Betrayal — selling us out for a tax break for the rich.
As Trump detains immigrant fathers, mothers, and beloved community members, his administration is diverting resources and letting the real criminals run free. Weapons seizures are down 73%. Narcotics arrests are down 11%. He is not at all going after the “worst of the worst.”
HAPPENING NOW: I’m hosting my fifth Shadow Hearing, focusing today on Trump’s detention abuses. The administration is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants to detention centers with absolutely horrific conditions. If Republicans won’t conduct oversight, we will.
These are just a handful of the countless stories I’ve received from my constituents about how their health care costs are skyrocketing, thanks to Trump and Republicans. People across the country are going to get sicker and poorer — all so billionaires can get a tax break.
WA state law prohibits the public disclosure of personal information like full names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. This lawsuit is yet another power grab from the Trump administration — and a violation of our privacy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Trump is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants of all legal statuses into for-profit detention centers, denying them legal access, and subjecting them to awful conditions. 200+ judges have ruled against his actions, and I’m introducing legislation to fix this broken system.
As an immigrant, hearing the stories about conditions in Trump’s immigration detention centers has been horrifying. Today, I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end our over-reliance on detention and ensure that immigrants’ civil and human rights are protected.
Great to join @nationalnurses.bsky.social to call for a health care system that works for all Americans, not just the richest few. Congress needs to extend the expiring ACA tax credits to save families from a massive premium hike next year — and then we need to pass my Medicare For All bill.
Trump’s treatment of immigrants is beyond inhumane. That’s why today I’m introducing my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to phase out our over-reliance on private, for-profit detention centers & put in place guardrails to protect immigrants’ civil & human rights. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...
