Americans are soundly rejecting Trump’s out-of-control deportation agenda.

Huge opening here for @democrats.org to go on offense with an affirmative case for immigration.
Q: We're seeing something unprecedented in the US with these mass deportations. Is that a factor at all in your vote for Mikie Sherrill?

Voter: Of course, it's a big factor. We're people. My mom was an immigrant, my grandparents are immigrants. It's just not right.

Exit polls are inexact. But they’re an OK approximation of how different demographic groups voted

In 2024 New Jersey exit polls had Harris winning Hispanics by 13 points

Tonight the exit polls have Mikie Sherrill winning Hispanics by 32 points

Kristin Noem's DHS is running propaganda at airports in violation of the Hatch Act.

Is your airport on the 'no' list? If not, call your airport & your city's aviation commissioners to demand they stop breaking the law by playing Kristin Noem's propaganda.

ICE has fatally shot an Illinois resident close to a school. Schools must be safe zones; ICE should not be creating this fear for our kids and families and communities- I join the IFT in calling for a full accounting

Horrified to see the news of Charlie Kirk being shot. There's no place for political violence in America - ever.

Great to see a grand jury - a group of everyday citizens - stand up against a would-be-dictator and reject a ridiculous felony indictment over a sandwich.

In America we the people have the power.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a father, husband, union member, and day laborer—has been forced through half a year of unimaginable government abuse: disappeared to a foreign torture prison, lied about, and under imminent threat of deportation to Uganda and separation from his family.
