Our schools should be safe spaces for our children. Today's action by Trump's ICE on the campus of John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore traumatized our kids.
This is not making our communities safer.

I warned the Trump admin of this exact eventuality.
Their actions combined with FIFA's ridiculous pricing schemes have discouraged fans from coming to games & now, one day before kickoff, ~180K tickets remain unsold.
Our local businesses are being shortchanged.

Inflation is at its highest level since 2023. Gas prices are above $4 per gallon. Groceries get more expensive every week.
The President may love it but the American people sure as hell don't.
Trump may not care about Americans' financial situation, but his illegal war is hurting working people every day.
Inflation is at the highest level since 2023 & prices on everything from gas to groceries have gone up.
This war is making us less safe & worse off. We must end it.
The Trump admin insists they review every refugee case based on its merits, & that it has nothing to do with race.
Look at their own quota system: nearly 100% white.
So much for merit-based.
In the midst of an Ebola outbreak: we have no confirmed CDC Director, Surgeon General, or FDA Commissioner. Half of NIH's Institutes & Centers lack permanent leadership.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is leaving work at 4pm & spouting conspiracy theories. This is public health under Trump.
Trump again refused to say his slush fund is dead. He also refused to say payouts shouldn't go to people who beat up our Capitol Police on Jan 6.
To every Republican who voted against my amendment to stop payments to those convicted of heinous crimes, what’s your excuse now?
This judge exposed the truth: the Trump Admin’s “anti-immigrant sentiments” are behind their dismantling of our asylum & legal immigration process.
It's a direct attack on what Lady Liberty stands for.
This ruling is a step in the right direction. We must keep fighting back.
In the past 6 months alone, over half of the publicly known donors to Trump's gold-plated ballroom, are reported to have received $50 BILLION in taxpayer-funded contracts from the federal gov.
Wild coincidence or taxpayer-funded corruption? You be the judge.

Senate Republicans just voted to give billions more of taxpayer money to Trump's lawless ICE operations.
The American people deserve a govt that puts them first.
Today, Trump & his rubber stamp Republicans once again failed them.
My full statement ⬇️
Today, we gave Republicans a choice: Do they want to support people who assaulted police on Jan 6th or the police officers who defended the Capitol on that day.
They made their choice.
Another shameful vote from Republicans to send your tax dollars to these criminals.
I just offered an amendment to prevent anyone convicted of heinous crimes — from attacking law enforcement to molesting children — from getting money from Trump's taxpayer financed slush fund.
Republicans blocked it.
All to please the Dear Leader. It's sick.
Senator Bill Cassidy & I are teaming up to undo Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund.
As it stands the fund could reward rioters who assaulted police on Jan 6.
Our amendment makes it a compensation fund ONLY for officers who defended the Capitol that day & their families.
It's been 103 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump's illegal tariffs. He still has no plan to return the $1,700 he owes American families & now is trying to stiff businesses too.
Trump stole this money from hardworking Americans & business owners. Release the money, NOW.
In case you're wondering why I won't stop until "no slush fund" is in law. ⬇️
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
SCOTUS just cleared an Alabama redistricting map that just 3 years ago a federal court ruled was illegal racial gerrymandering. Even after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, judges still said this map was unconstitutional.
But SCOTUS is allowing it for this election. Corrupt.
Today, Sec. Mullin conceded that DHS has made numerous false statements.
That’s why independent investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, & all victims of DHS's violence are necessary.
But he won't give states access to critical evidence.
What is DHS hiding?
Let's be clear: Bill Pulte has zero background for this job.
He won Trump's favor by weaponizing our govt against Trump's political foes.
As America’s most powerful intelligence official, he can do incalculable harm.
This should be a non-starter.
