ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter. The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby. She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled. Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

This is just another example of Trump trying to hide the impact of his polices and the corrupt bargain he struck with Big Oil companies. Ignoring disaster data only puts more Americans in harm’s way and drags us backwards in the fight against climate change.

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt. I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.

The people constantly braying about “Christian values” are attacking the Pope for suggesting that we love others.

The Federal Reserve should reconsider its approval of Capital One’s acquisition of Discover. This decision will seriously harm consumers and merchants—especially low-income consumers and small businesses—and threaten the stability of our financial system.

The White House has largely avoided “White House Defies Supreme Court” headlines by simply lying and saying they are complying when they are quite plainly defying the Court.

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement. This is child abuse. This is state terror. Worcester police are complicit.

“The South Africans will now have a pathway to U.S. citizenship and be eligible for government benefits.” The only thing this administration does quicker than kicking out immigrants with brown skin is to fast-track admissions of those with white skin!… 👀

I don’t understand why no one in congress has proposed amending The Federal Reserve act to include the following addition among the mandates “Reducing the federal debt-to-GDP ratio to sustainable levels.” Keep inflation and employment the same , just add to the equation #econsky

Let’s add in taking away Medicaid, Snap, messing with Social Security, funding for children’s cancer research , USAID cuts and the list just goes on 😡

There is literally no legitimate reason for the Trump regime to send migrants in the US to Libya. Legal experts say it would violate the Convention Against Torture and the Refugee Convention.

Everyone should be able to walk into our museums & see our accurate history on display. We're in Boston this morning discussing why we won't let Trump erase our history with these unconscionable attacks on cultural institutions. www.youtube.com/live/jM2eaGr...

I am closely monitoring and deeply concerned by the recent military escalation between India and Pakistan. I urge both governments to reduce tensions through diplomacy and work to bring the perpetrators of the April 22 terror attack, which killed innocent civilians in Kashmir, to justice.

If you care about breathing clean air and cleaning up dead rivers, this is the time to call Congress! 202/221-3121: "Keep the REINS Act out of the budget bill!" Then follow up with @resist.bot emails. Aannnd... Amplify with www.pleasegrowaspine.org

Due process isn't optional, Kash.

Gallego: I’ve certainly seen a reversal—mostly among Latino men. I would say it started about three to four weeks ago. It’s really a combination of factors: they’re deporting people who aren’t criminals, they’re separating families… The economy is the other big factor pushing these guys away…
