It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

A 21-year-old Norwegian man named Mads Mikkelsen was denied entry to the US after border agents at Newark Airport found a meme depicting Vice President J.D. Vance on his phone. He claims he was detained, strip-searched, and deported, with the meme being one of the images that triggered the incident.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Sitting here realizing the song Surf City by Jan and Dean although a party song, stated a real sad truth; most of the young men of the era were in Vietnam. 8.7 million young men enlisted and were drafted out of 27 million.

MAGA Newsletter. This was literally the agreement signed with the UK on May 8th. In Kananaskis, Trump and Starmer came out to press, Trump dropped the papers and mistakenly referred to the Uk as the “EU”.

Sen. Mike Lee wants to sell off 3 million acres of OUR public lands-forests, peaks, and trails we'll never get back. If your senators don't vote NO, they're realtors now too. Call them TODAY and tell them: hands off our land.

So I’m thinking about the crossroads of oligarchy, AI and the cutting back of social services and how this is quickly becoming social Darwinism or even worse, eugenics. First, they came for gypsies….

Yeah these guys look legit. If I saw them hanging out on the street I’d do an abrupt turnaround and quickly walk the other direction and I’m not undocumented or here on a visa, my ancestors arrived here in the late 1600’s

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Given this administration’s actions in the Eric Adams case, it would seem to me that New Yorkers would want a mayor that’s not corruptible. I am not a New Yorker, but if I were, I would not rank Cuomo.

This isn't just about California. It’s about how we treat our fellow human beings. It’s about how we treat families. It’s about who we are. I stand with @padilla.senate.gov
