@gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social -- You and all the other Dem governors need to stand with Wes Moore and decline this invitation
Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors
"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

@slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov -- Unprecedented and deeply ominous. These will be human warehouses -- concentration camps. Senate Dems must stop this.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November.
Here's why.

NO -- NOT GOOD ENOUGH @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov -- where are the teeth?
Thoughts:
• Much of this is already mandated by law and DHS policy and is being ignored.
• No additional enforcement mechanisms or consequences for its lack are included.
• Ending the MN surge and removing Kristi Noem are noted as things Trump can do, not demands.
• Stephen Miller is not mentioned.

Can't believe we are back here again. We have to definitively SHUT DOWN "detention centers." They are nothing more than politely named concentration camps. Prove me wrong @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov
🚨Documented or Undocumented, with or without their parents, no child deserves to live in a cage, in squalor without food & water, & sleeping on a cold floor
Call your legislators & ask, “What if it were your child“ demand they do better & release all children & stop detaining them.

🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would:
Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges.
Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

@slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov This lawless madness must be stopped! ICE and CBP should not even be allowed to carry these so-called less than lethal weapons. Every bystander, observer, or protester shot in this way (and they are multitude) should be considered SHOT.
Jesus is 22. Shot in the eye with a pepper-ball while standing nearby. Not protesting. Just existing. Congress is voting to fund weapons that blind people instead of healthcare that heals them. This is the choice on the floor today. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Sure seems that way with the continued violence particularly against lawful observers.
it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it

And so we see the beginning . . .
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

@slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov -- this list should be the bottom line. Anything less is an affront to all of us living with this lawless, despicable occupation of our communities.
My thoughts on some non-negotiable items that must be incorporated into any funding bill for DHS.
Like many, I believe that Trump has corrupted ICE and CBP to the point where they should be eliminated. Since that goal is currently out of reach politically, Democrats need to push for accountability.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:
“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
