We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

When Americans lose their health care, they’re forced to make drastic decisions like going without their medication and skipping visits to the doctor. This means people are going to die – all so Republicans can give more tax cuts to billionaires.

As I said on MSNBC, in 1960 white evangelical christians accused JFK that he would put the Pope over our Constitution. Today we have a new Pope who supports our Constitution more than our current President. And the white christians support this anti-constitutional President and attack the Pope.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Together, the now rescinded policies laid out standards for detainees with heightened medical needs—requiring, for instance, access to water and food for pregnant people, ensuring privacy for breastfeeding mothers, and mandating diapers and unexpired formula be stocked in holding facilities.

Trump 2.0 made me so worried that he would again separate families at the southern border. I was right about the fear, and wrong about the location. He’s separating families and abducting people — everywhere. Including right here in Massachusetts.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.
