Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

This is the most important story of the day. A Tulsi aide ordered a senior analyst to redo an assessment of the relationship between Venezuela’s government and a gang after intelligence findings undercut the WH justification for deporting migrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

A Tufts University doctoral student was freed from ICE custody on Friday after a federal judge in Vermont ordered that she be released... ..the government had not produced any evidence against her aside from an op-ed she co-wrote in her student newspaper last year. abcnews.go.com/US/judge-ord...

I know from experience: When we fight, we win. This week, we stopped the GOP from stealing a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Democracy Docket reported every update on this case. Subscribe to its free newsletters for the latest on all the lawsuits to come: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

It’s even more jarring when you hear someone else recite exactly what comes out of Trump’s mouth.

“Stop the Steal” supporter, Ed Martin, was in the mob outside of the Capitol on 1/6. If he doesn’t like your point of view, he threatens to investigate you. He praises white supremacists who support neo-Nazi ideologies. Tell your Senator to vote NO on Ed Martin’s nomination for US Attorney in DC.

Ann Talnaes quit the Washington Post after Jeff Bezos wouldn’t run her cartoon of tech execs groveling before Trump. Yesterday, she won a Pulitzer for her work. They will try to eclipse the truth. They will never extinguish it.

A shady fund backed by a foreign government just announced a $2 billion deal using Trump stablecoins. The Senate is gearing up to pass stablecoin legislation that will make it easier for Trump's family to line their own pockets. This is corruption. No senator should support it.
