Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

Sure would be a shame if all these tickets were tickets claimed, and very few people showed up for the fascist parade. H/T: @muellershewrote.com www.eventbrite.com/e/us-army-25...

I signed a bill today to expand access to voting. SB 5077 allows automatic voter registration services, like our "motor voter" law, to expand to state agencies that collect a person's name, residential address, date of birth, affirmation of citizenship, and signature.

In one email to Veterans Affairs HQ, doctors in Pennsylvania said a hiring freeze was causing “severe and immediate impacts” and that more than 1,000 veterans would lose access to treatment for cancer, kidney disease and traumatic brain injuries.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Trump and the GOP have wrapped themselves around the flag of veterans for years. But they prove time and time again that they don't give a shit about the people who served this country.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

This story is haunting me. Why is ICE over 900 miles from the border? Why are they operating without uniforms or badges? How do we know that these aren't just deputized Proud Boys or other MAGA militia? Where's the oversight? The accountability. I fear we have crossed the Rubicon with this one.

I introduced an amendment today to prohibit any taxpayer dollars from being used for Secretary Hegseth's makeup studio at the Pentagon. Every single one of my Republican colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee voted against it. Every. single. one.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days. Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

This should outrage everyone: Guns are the #1 killer of teens and kids. Black and Native youth are dying at the highest rates & firearm suicide is on the rise. We need targeted prevention, now.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

If Pete Hegseth were a real man: a man of dignity, strength, and honesty, he would admit he is not qualified for this position and never belonged here in the first place. Since he is none of those things, he will willingly place the courageous members of our Military and our nation in harm's way.
