Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.
This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tinny little douche face
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
I just left a visit to the ICE detention facility in Eloy. There’s a lot to absorb, but I want to tell you about a woman I met named Maria because her story really shows how messed up all this is.
She’s been in the U.S. for twenty years. Has no criminal history. She was detained at the Marine Base in Yuma. Her son is a U.S. Marine stationed there. He’s married to another Marine. And they have a two-year-old kid, Maria's grandson.
Maria was in Yuma because her son was leaving for training, her daughter-in-law had a hip surgery, and so they needed help watching her grandson. When she came back to the base after a grocery run, she was detained and reported to CBP. Now, she’s being held in an ICE facility.
I remember how proud my parents were watching my brother and I get sworn into the Navy, so I asked her if she had been there when her son graduated from boot camp. She broke down in tears. All she could say was how proud of her son she was.
That stuck with me. And it should stick with you. And if I have anything to do about it, it will stick with this administration. This woman loves America. Her son is risking her life for America – for us. She is the exact type of person we should want in this country. My team and I will keep fighting for her and her family.
ICE arrest mom working on farm—leave her 15 year old son alone to take care of her 2 younger children.
Doesn't know what to tell his brothers because "they’re little kids" and they will "freak out."
"Never received a call of a mother being abducted while working," said lawyer in Santa Barbara, California. "This is not normal."
Before Trump issued new orders, parents of young children would not be detained—instead receive a summons to appear in court.
15 year old Juan Martinez says there is enough food in the house to last a couple more days—but feels helpless because he can't drive.
His mom managed to call him from the back of an ICE van—and whispered to him to take care of his brothers.

The Biden administration sued the Navy Federal Credit Union to refund $80 million to service members who were illegally charged overdraft fees.
The Trump administration dismissed the case.
Now, the service members will receive nothing.
California Crackup? Try again.
California provides $83.1 billion more than we receive from the federal government.
Texas? Receives $71.1 billion more than they provide to the federal government.
71% of the U.S. GDP comes from blue counties.
@RepMaryMiller It’s not, exposing kids to ideas is good whether it is left or right. Having a concept of both sides is what is needed in order to heal America and understand one another. That truly makes America even greater than it already is. To me America is great and it can only get better
SO weird how Project 2025 and Trump's priorities regarding the elimination of the Department of Education aligned perfectly considering Trump pinky swore he had no idea what was in Project 2025 and the media was just like "WHATEVER YOU SAY, SIR"
This decision is shameful.
The Department of Education protects Americans' civil rights and helps millions of our kids get the education they deserve.
The Trump administration is abandoning our families and children.
Led by Catholic leaders and advocates, hundreds are marching from Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in a silent procession to the ICE office in Detroit to hand deliver a letter calling for humane treatment of immigrants. Archbishop of Detroit Edward Weisenburger is here walking.
@RepMaryMiller Instead of trying to divide us and make the situation worse, how about you look after the people you represent? I frankly like energy that doesn’t produce smoke harmful to our lungs or oil that damages wildlife
