I'm relieved @repilhan.bsky.social is okay after she was attacked at her town hall last night. But Trump’s response was shameful — & Republicans should say so. His baseless & racist attacks against her have no doubt endangered her. His inability to condemn the attack is appalling.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the more than 6 million Jews — and millions of others — who were murdered by the brutal Nazi regime. May their memory be a reminder that we must fight antisemitism, hatred, & bigotry in all their forms. Never Again.
Trump's ICE just purchased a warehouse in MD for $100M to hold 1,000+ detainees. Last week, I joined Marylanders demanding that ICE stay out. This Admin is spitting in the face of communities from Minneapolis to Maryland & wasting our tax dollars. We won't back down. (1/2)
UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry. It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.
Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers. My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers. [1/2]
Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action. How did Senate Republicans respond? By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check. They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.
Such mistreatment would be further evidence of the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore Holding Facility — something I have repeatedly called them out on. We will continue investigating & update when we know more. [2/2]
They think the American people are stupid. It's been 2 days since the killing of Alex Pretti & this Admin continues to lie about what we all saw on video. Americans are horrified & don't want their tax dollars funding this brutality. Not another dime to this lawless operation.
The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core. Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions. That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.
The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House. The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm. Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.
Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents. Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable. Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!

On his trip to MN yesterday, Vance said DHS wasn’t targeting people based on race. Not only is that false, remember, this Admin took a case to SCOTUS specifically arguing they should be allowed to do that. Trump’s SCOTUS ruled in their favor. Don't be fooled by their lies.
In case it wasn't already clear: Rubio, Noem, & Trump want to punish these students for their free speech. They're all for free speech until someone disagrees with their views. But that's not how our 1st Amendment works. The courts must stand up to this miscarriage of justice.
But their actions – Renee Good's killing, detaining kids, racial profiling, entering homes w/o warrants – are the result of orders from Miller, Noem, Vance, & Trump. We cannot let them hide or give them another dime. [2/2]
Last year, Trump proposed big cuts to Chesapeake Bay clean up & restoration. Despite these threats, in the bill that passed Congress last week, we secured a record $93M for the Bay Program & restored funding for other critical programs that support the Bay. A win for Maryland.
