Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

Alsobrooks to RFK Jr: "You are the wrong person for this job. And you had in this hearing today the unmitigated gall to say at the beginning of your testimony that China is ahead of the United States in healthcare because China does not have DEI."

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

This is nothing more than a flashy press release from Donald Trump. Trump should put his weight behind a bill so we can actually lower drug prices. Instead, he and Republicans in Congress are plotting to rip away health coverage from millions of Americans.

Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government is corrupt and unconstitutional. He’s making deals for himself while making life less affordable for you.

An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

Republicans propose massive cuts to Medicaid and other health safety net programs. Millions will lose healthcare and hospitals will close. All to fund increased military spending and tax cuts for the rich, while still managing to add trillions the national debt. apnews.com/article/medi...

Qatar isn’t the only country buying influence over Trump. Trump’s “buy $Trump crypto for access to Trump and the White House” scheme is a direct payoff to Trump owned businesses. Same as handing Trump a bag stuffed with cash. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."

"I don't think it's hyperbole to say that eviscerating NIOSH, as they have, will cause people to die.” Trump said he’d fight for workers. He lied. He's slashing safety programs. And working people — from a state he won by 40% — are paying the price.

So the Republican Congress can pass a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, but can't seem to find the time to stop Trump's erosion of checks and balances or tackle rising housing and grocery costs? Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.
