Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The private, for-profit prison corporations that donated millions to help Trump get elected are now reaping the profits.
This admin and ICE are funneling them billions of dollars in contracts to detain record numbers of immigrants — most of whom have no criminal record.

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

Sorry we're late for #caturday. Here's Toby & Tristan staring at me while I drink my coffee. They know that when I stand up & take my mug to the sink, that's when I fill their dishes. So, I always have an audience. (Toby in front, Tristan behind.)
