I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Treasury Secretary says that he and the President have been lying to the voters, markets, and trading partners since Sunday. Credibility is a scarce and valuable asset, and I worry that a Treasury without credibility will be much less effective when a true crisis hits. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

It's pretty wild to see what the Tesla Takedown people have built from nothing, totally organically in just two months. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Federal employees are not his staff. Hope this helps.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I am so goddamn mad. A friend who’s been FISHING BODIES OUT OF THE POTOMAC appears to be in the Trump purges today.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

this is the GOAT young adult fantasy series and almost forgotten these days, check it out if you have kids (or even if you don't)

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Sonny restores our two-goal lead!

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

musk shutdown. muskdown. musk shutdown. elon musk shutdown. musk's government shutdown. elon musk's government shutdown.

Quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but one thing I think blue states (and CA in particular) should be doing if we morph into tariffsland is require companies operating in the state (above some size) to list the price of tariffs on receipts separately

I do find it insulting that Kamala Harris seems to have completely evaporated since the election. You asked us to put our faith in you and then you left us hanging out to dry in our darkest hour. Not what a real leader would do.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Feeling my sanity slipping away as more and more (genuinely awful) stories about what Trump said or did accrues. Because: HE PLOTTED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A VIOLENT COUP ON LIVE TV! HE ATTMEPTED TO END THE REPUBLIC! HE'S THE BIGGEST TRAITOR TO THE CONSITUTIONAL ORDER SINCE THE CONFEDERACY!

Abolish the death penalty

ad buys in different states are uh, different, but putting this clip on tv during football in pennsylvania would be a far better use of money than some of the slickly produced and tired consultancy shop slop they love to run
