This outrageous violation of the work of Congressman Nadler’s District Office and frightful mistreatment of his staff cannot stand. We are demanding a hearing on why this happened and who is responsible. They must be held accountable.

I can prove I am a US citizen because a) I have all the documentation, b) it's four generations back before you find immigrants in my family, c) I'm well-known enough that my birthplace is public record. But the system isn't designed to help anyone prove anything. nymag.com/intelligence...

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Violence against Jewish marchers, is a threat to violence against all of us. We must end this violence before it becomes accepted against countless men, women, and children. In addition to thoughts and prayers, we must take action to defend and protect all peaceful protesters.

Chance is still learning to live in a house. She spent 10 years in the jungle and got abused. Her comfort mechanism when I’m out or asleep is my shoe. She doesn’t chew it or destroy it. She just gently gets it and always has it beside her She likes it here now ❤️

No judge should be worried about their personal safety when they’re deciding a case. That’s how the rule of law ends. I’m proud to lead a bipartisan group of my colleagues in demanding that we fund efforts to get Judges' personal information off the internet.

Attacking peaceful protestors in Boulder does nothing to “free Palestine.” Another antisemitic incident targeting American Jews is deeply distressing. Btw this happened on an important Jewish holiday - Shavuot. Do not @ me with Gaza. This does nothing to help bring needed aid.

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

Speaking of Pride Month, I know that some people like to try to trace the venerable (and now obscure) phrase "friend of Dorothy" to some other source than the gay male fascination with Miss Garland and The Wizard of Oz, but I can't really find any proof that it derives from anything else. Sorry.

Some Republicans say we’ll just “grow our way out” of the $3.8 trillion debt bomb they’re about to set off. We’ve heard that fairy tale before—under Reagan, Bush, and Trump 1.0. It didn’t work then, it won’t work now. Working families will pay the price.

“In an interview, one of Mr. Melgar-Salmeron’s lawyers disputed the government’s characterization of the deportation as a mistake, saying it appeared to be part of a larger pattern of the administration ignoring court orders.” You think? I call it creeping contempt. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...
