We’re seeing so many extreme actions from the Trump administration.
These actions are hurting Arizonans. I want you to know that I’m doing everything in my power to stand up and fight back, even while Trump tries to avoid accountability. Here’s how: 🧵

Horrific videos from Minneapolis show ANOTHER murder by Trump’s authoritarian military force.

President Trump says that he wants to help the Iranian people. He can help asylum seekers who risk being sent to their deaths if they're deported back to Iran.
President Trump, you can help. Stop this before it happens.

You cannot claim to “stand with the Iranian people” while deporting them back to an authoritarian regime that kills dissidents and executes LGBTQ individuals.
We warned DHS and State months ago. Silence. Now, as Iranians are being killed and detained for demanding freedom, this is unconscionable.

Trump’s ICE is a disgrace to the United States, with slush funds, rampant abuse, and zero accountability.
I’ll be introducing legislation to rein it in, end inhumane detention, and expose the real costs of mass deportation. These bills deserve an immediate vote in Congress.

ICE can and will always go lower. It's absolutely disgusting that they used a 5-year-old child as bait so that they could arrest his father.
Murdering U.S. citizens and kidnapping children in front of our eyes is pure evil.

An ICE agent killed Renee Good, yet it’s my colleague @replamonica.bsky.social who faces prison time for conducting oversight at an ICE facility.
This is political retribution by the Trump regime—protecting Jonathan Ross while targeting those who demand accountability.

Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

I'm proud to co-sponsor this resolution that honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by celebrating diversity, promoting tolerance, and condemning hate. As Trump continues to spread antagonism toward diverse communities in our country, we need Dr. King's voice now more than ever before.
Dr. King's legacy is not just something to celebrate, it’s something to defend.
As this White House demonizes diversity & erases Black history, we must speak out and stand up.
Today, I introduced a resolution to honor Dr. King and his fight for equality.

From blocking Members of Congress from visiting DHS facilities to the tragic murders of U.S. citizens and immigrants by ICE agents, I’m proud to cosponsor @robinkelly.house.gov’s resolution to impeach Secretary Noem. It’s past time for accountability and action.

Trump and Noem want us to believe they’re keeping us “safe.”
ICE is disrupting police’s ability to investigate and stop *real* crime like human trafficking, domestic abuse, and sexual violence.
Thank you Chief McCarthy for setting the record straight.

NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE.
Instead of funding ICE so they can keep terrorizing communities, we have to hold them accountable for the assault & murder of people on the streets & in detention facilities. @moulton.house.gov & I urge our appropriators to hold ICE & Trump accountable for their crimes.

Donald Trump sent in his rogue ICE agency to terrorize Minneapolis and sow chaos and fear. Now he’s capitalizing on this terror and threatening the Insurrection Act. It’s what dictators do.
BREAKING: Trump threatened to use the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis.
This rarely used federal law would allow him to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard against the American people.
His authoritarianism is out of control.

I’m introducing the ICE Slush Fund Elimination Act to take back the $170 billion Trump dumped into ICE through his so-called Big Beautiful Bill.

It’s reported that the Islamic Republic regime has murdered ~12,000 Iranian civilians.
From enabling direct-to-cell connectivity, to restoring funding for Persian-language media, there are actions the US could take now to support Iranian people in their fight for freedom.

It's outrageous that the Trump DOJ would demand an investigation into Renee Nicole Good’s bereaved widow instead of her killer, an ICE agent. I applaud these federal prosecutors for standing up for the rule of law and resigning, rather than falling in line with Trump’s weaponization of justice.
Breaking News: Three Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the wife of Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent. The Justice Department sought to examine her supposed ties to activist groups.
3 Prosecutors Quit After Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow

As the Islamic Republic commits mass atrocities against the Iranian people, it is cutting internet access and phone lines to hide its crimes.
The U.S. must act now to assess direct-to-cell connectivity and deploy 2025 NDAA-authorized funding to expand internet freedom in Iran.
