Attacking our communities—including children—is absolutely unacceptable. Peaceful protest is our Constitutional right. Don’t take Trump’s bait.

ICE out of Oregon.
Feds at Portland ICE facility again deploy chemical agents against protesters

ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities and trampling on the Constitution. I wrote a bill to give Americans legal tools to sue and hold lawless agents accountable.
Exclusive: Democrat’s bill would let people sue ICE over misconduct
It’ll be a nonstarter for the Republicans, but will demonstrates the scale of change Democrats now believe is needed.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We don't have anything to say about this actually. It sadly speaks for itself. Oregon voted Chavez-DeRemer out of office and she got kicked up stairs. Sad. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/b...

Please be aware of the possibility that folks advocating violence are there to do just that; the person in America who most wants violence in protests, who would most benefit from it, is living at 1600 Pennsylvania. This is happening. And we are stopping it. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

BIG: 5 Republicans voted with Democrats to advance the war powers resolution and say HELL NO to Trump trampling the Constitution to attack Venezuela. This was the discharge petition; we’ll have another vote to pass it. I’ll keep you posted. We’re fighting like hell to get this done.

Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."
In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.
