This is a dangerous escalation. Trump is deliberately stoking chaos and fear. This isn’t about safety, it’s about spectacle, and it puts everyone at risk. The Administration needs to reverse course NOW.

Breaking: More than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter. www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/p...

The Governor and the Mayor have NOT requested support from the National Guard. This is purposefully inflammatory from the President. It’s designed to create chaos and escalate. This should be reversed.

“We tried to talk to the administration and tell them that there was absolutely no need to have troops on the ground here in L.A.,” Mayor Bass told The Times while discussing President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard. Read more: www.latimes.com/california/l...

Harvey Milk was a veteran, a dedicated public servant, and a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights whose courage gave hope to millions. Trying to erase his name during Pride Month is an insult to his legacy. Hegseth should reverse this absolutely shameful decision immediately.

I went to the Senate Floor to bring up my resolution urging the Pentagon not to rename ships in the John Lewis class, named after American civil rights legends like the USNS Harvey Milk. Republicans blocked it. On the first week of Pride Month no less.

Horrific. I stand with @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta. He must be released immediately!

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJun 4(source)
We are not going to let the Trump Administration intimidate us and terrorize our communities. We’re fighting back and demanding accountability for the ICE raid in South Park on Friday.
Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJun 2(source)
When heavily armed ICE agents storm a local business, shove people against walls, and handcuff innocent workers, it's not about public safety. It's to intimidate and to strike fear in everyone's hearts, especially immigrants. Together, we're here to say we won't stand for it.
Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govMay 30(source)
Cross-border pollution isn’t just harming our environment — it’s threatening our neighbors’ health, shutting down businesses & closing beaches. Thank you to @booker.senate.gov for joining us to see firsthand what our communities are dealing with & why we’re continuing to fight for real solutions.
Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govMay 28(source)
Our communities deserve nothing less than clean water and clean air to breathe! We've secured over half a billion in federal funds to combat pollution, but this is why we've called for a state of emergency, funding for air quality monitoring, and ongoing CDC research. We won't let up.

Widmer Josneyder Agelviz Sanguino came here legally with his mom and two little brothers through the U.S. refugee resettlement program—he was fully vetted. Trump has been kidnapping and disappearing immigrants across the country. It is unacceptable. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Judge orders Trump administration to allow attorneys access to Venezuelan man in Salvadoran prison
It’s the first such order in the mounting legal saga surrounding President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of men to a supermax prison in El Salvador.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Their courage and unwavering dedication will always be remembered. We are forever in their debt.

I'm praying for the victims of this horrible crash. Incredibly thankful for our first responders, military officials, and emergency personnel who are on the scene and providing assistance. As we continue to learn more, my thoughts are with all those affected.

I am horrified by the murder of two young Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum. My prayers are with their families. Antisemitism, hate, and violence have no place in our country. We must condemn it in all its forms.

House Republicans just passed their billionaire tax giveaway at the expense of everyone else. This bill is the largest Medicaid and food assistance cut in American history and the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. It now goes to the Senate, but we need to keep fighting.

Breaking News: The House narrowly passed a wide-ranging bill to deliver President Trump’s domestic agenda, after Speaker Mike Johnson put down several mini-rebellions in Republican ranks to get the legislation to its first big victory over Democratic opposition. Follow live updates: nyti.ms/43CA0BP
Red text read: "Breaking News." White text reads: "House Passes Bill to Deliver Trump’s Domestic Agenda. The legislation would slash taxes, steer more money to the military and border security, and pay for some of this with cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, education and clean energy programs."

So sad to hear of the passing of my colleague, Rep. Gerry Connolly—a true champion for the people of Northern Virginia and for the country. My prayers and condolences are with the entire Connolly family as they grieve this loss. May he rest in peace.
