I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

@profkori.bsky.social: "When many Americans saw the achievements of marginalized groups and wanted to remind those groups of their 'proper' place of subordination, they elevated Donald Trump. They insisted that being a white man is what matters most. There’s no need to be admirable."

Given that Kaitlan Collins is asking about the Epstein files in that clip going around, isn't Trump's verbal attack of her a clear example act of know your place aggression?

He responds to her competency and attempt to hold him accountable with ridicule and misogyny.

Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

This is huge.

Massachusetts is home to tens of thousands of hardworking Haitian TPS recipients who enrich the culture of our state, contribute to our economy, and help ensure we meet the needs of elders and patients in our health care and elder care industries - this victory belongs to them.
BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
