Nancy Pelosi would have NEVER allowed this kind of shit.

Hakeem is a failure. A straight failure.

Worst leadership imaginable
ICE is acting as an extra-judicial military force, using the tools of war against our communities…

The Dems failed us all.

These are the Democrats who voted to fund ICE: 👇

Jared Golden

Henry Cuellar

Don Davis

Tom Suozzi

Laurra Gillen

Vicente Gonzalez

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

Do better.

Today I visited Delaney Hall to provide some measure of oversight and accountability to an out of control DHS.

I announced legislation that ends private detention centers and protects immigrants. I will not vote for another dollar for a reckless ICE & DHS.

I literally could not be more proud of the people of Minnesota.

Ya’ll are some real ones. It is NOT warm there. But it’s warming my heart to see the kind of resistance community of love and kindness you are building.

Awesome to see!

🚨BREAKING: Federal court DISMISSES Department of Justice's lawsuit to obtain Georgia's full voter file information for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Essentially, the geniuses at DOJ filed in the wrong court.

Dhillon and DOJ are now 0-3 in these cases.

The Minnesota strike has made it to the top story on NYT. I am not a knee jerk NYT hater, but imo this is noteworthy given the paper’s relative lack of interest in other recent anti-Trump protest activity

YES! Thank you for your efforts @anamariecox.bsky.social . This is how we are going to win the fight for democracy. Doing the hard work, the boring work, the work that creates friction and grinds fascism into the ground. Together we are unstoppable. #HoldFast

Americans cannot be blamed for everything as long as this drug-addled, racist is treated seriously by the rest of the world. He should be in a courtroom, not the World Economic Forum.

House Dems who voted to fund the gestapo. I would expect (and hope) that their constituents will inform them that their jobs will be changing, as they are now complicit. #HoldFast

@kamlager-dove.house.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Your voting constituents are watching to see if you vote to fund the fascists or not. We will remember.

If the DHS bill does become law Dem leaders will have to explain to us what they intend to do to try to get ICE to follow the law and stop terrorizing us. Waiting for us to gain back power a year from now is not a sufficient answer.

We must remember at all times that Trump has chosen not to govern with us, or for us, but against us - for they are scared of us, of the power of the people

HOLY SHIT. Democrats now have a TWENTY-TWO POINT advantage on the general ballot. Dems had a 14-point advantage leading up to the 2018 election which netted us 41 seats in the House alone.
