Happy Saturday. Today we bury my grandmother. She passed earlier this month but the funeral is today. 93 years. This is not a sad moment, but a blessing. Today, I look forward to celebrating her life. ☀️💐

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Do people realize how wide Minneapolis streets are? Filling the streets like they did today takes real numbers. Media may focus on the shrinking minority who like this administration, but they're making themselves less relevant by the day.

I will not vote for any budget deal that gives more power and funding to Donald Trump so he can make life more dangerous and more expensive for American families.

Congress must restrict spending on forever wars overseas and stop ICE’s terror here at home.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

We’re living under a #RepublicanHealthcareDisaster. My health insurance cost went up 21%! I pay more every single month, because they cared more about tax breaks for billionaires than our health or our lives.

Perhaps the Prime Minister missed when the felon called our soldiers "suckers" and "losers" or when he attacked John McCain for being a prisoner of war.

Cadet Bonespurs has NEVER respected our troops yet he expects total obediance from them.
UK PM Keir Starmer reacts to Cadet Bone Spurs claiming that allied troops stayed back behind the front lines in Afghanistan to avoid combat: “457 of our armed services lost their lives, many more were injured. So I consider Trump’s remarks to be insulting and apalling.”

According to Trumps niece, "The one thing Donald has always feared most is to be seen as a loser and the humiliation that comes with that," she wrote.

How can we arrange that?

There’s no way I could vote to give ICE more money.

Let’s be clear: ICE is now one of the wealthiest law enforcement agencies in this country, and they continue to prove they are ineffective and unqualified.

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

FWIW:

Golden is retiring.

The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.

The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.

Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.

If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

Primary ALL of them.

Supporting violent, masked state police is inexcusable, especially after all the videos have shown them to be domestic terrorists who constantly ride roughshod over both people and the Constitution.
NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes:

Henry Cuellar of Texas
Jared Golden of Maine
Laura Gillen of New York
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State
Don Davis of North Carolina
Tom Souzzi of New York
Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
