Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

The @usprogressives.bsky.social leadership is urging support for this critical resolution. No war with Venezuela.
A naval blockade is unquestionably an act of war.

A war that the Congress never authorized and the American people do not want.
BREAKING: President Trump orders a "total and complete blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers in and out of Venezuela.

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social on the CPC’s official position opposing the Senate government spending deal:

“It’s a betrayal of working people and massively fails to address the urgent needs of the American people. The Progressive Caucus stands united in opposing this sham deal.”

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel.

First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

Work requirements don’t create jobs. They just kick people off food + health care, saddle states with costs, and strain already fragile hospitals.

“Children are dying while 6,000 trucks with food wait a few miles away,” say CPC leaders Reps. Greg Casar, Ilhan Omar and Chuy Garcia. “We demand Trump use U.S. leverage to ensure that Israel fully restores international aid access to Gaza. It is not too late to save millions of lives.”

Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men.

If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

Congressman Gabe Evans is about to vote on whether to kick millions of Americans off health care.

He's refused to hold town halls to hear from his own constituents, so I went to his office to read the words of a person in his district who could badly suffer, or die, without Medicaid.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has been my ideological home in Congress, and it has been a true honor to lead and grow it substantially.

I can’t wait to see our newly elected leadership — @repcasar.bsky.social, @repilhan.bsky.social, and Rep. Chuy Garcia — in action next Congress.
