Republicans want to write ICE another blank check, tens of billions more, after gutting most of the oversight that held it accountable.
People in our government’s custody deserve to be treated with dignity.
That should not be a hard thing to agree on.

I have said it before and I will keep saying it. Border security and basic humanity are not opposites. You can demand both, and most Americans do. When an agency answers rising deaths by reporting fewer of them, that is not reform. That is a red flag.
And it gets worse.
The 30-day standard made sure ICE could not dodge accountability by letting someone go right before the end.
Now that safeguard is gone.
This is not common sense.
It is a paper trail being cut short on purpose.
That rule existed for a reason.
It was written after a man who got sick in detention was released while comatose and died days later, and his death was never reported to Congress.
A new internal memo eliminates the requirement to report deaths that happen within 30 days of someone being released from custody.
Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it?
It is making the deaths harder to count.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
No administration in American history has been this corrupt.
None.
And Congress cannot sit back and let it stand. We are a coequal branch of government. That means we have not just the power but the duty to act: to check this president and stop the corruption lining the Trump family’s pockets.

For eight years I’ve worked every day to earn the honor of representing our community, rooting out corruption and delivering real results. I won’t let up.
November will be here before we know it, and I need you with me. Join the fight: www.mikelevin.org
To everyone who voted, volunteered, donated, or spread the word: thank you.
Our strong showing in the primary is a credit to all of you, and it has me more excited than ever for the general.
Is the fight over? No. The Senate is next. The President can veto. We know the math.
But for the first time, the People’s House went on the record and said the Constitution still means something.
That is not symbolic. That is the system waking up.

But that is exactly where it has been. Four months of war we never approved. And we were never told how any of this ends.
Today, a majority of the House finally drew the line.
That is not a technicality. That is the whole point.
Article I is clear.
The power to send this country to war belongs to Congress. The framers built it that way because they had just escaped a king who could march a nation into war on a whim. They never wanted that power in 1 set of hands again.
For four months, one man decided we were at war.
Today, the House said no.
We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.
Call me crazy, but doesn’t a “ceasefire” mean you actually cease firing?
If that’s what you’re fighting for too, make your voice heard in this primary.

California’s primary is Tuesday, June 2. Take five minutes TODAY to fill your ballot, sign the envelope, and drop it in an official drop box or at any CA vote center. No stamp needed.
I’m honored to be fighting for an America that every working person can afford.

Follow the money on this one. It’s rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements.
The company is 2 years old. It had fewer than 50 employees.
And 3 months before the deal was announced, Trump Jr.’s venture firm took a stake in it.
