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.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.
I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.
If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "It seems very disingenuous for the Democrats to be blaming President Trump for these rural hospital struggles. The reason rural hospitals are struggling is because of the bad economy."

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Donald Trump’s most consequential legacy is his war on the truth.
From jobs reports to the news to election outcomes, he has poisoned the minds of millions of Americans. And it’s only getting worse.

Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws.
Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done.
That's what's happening in Texas right now.

if you knew anyone who talked like this about their teen daughter you'd call the police
In 1999, Trump said on Howard Stern: “I have a deal with Ivanka. She’s 17 and doing great.
She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her. So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.
It’s a lot to sit with.
It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.

ALERT: Attorney General Pam Bondi is apparently threatening some of those providing medical care to their minor transgender patients.
If you receive one of these subpoenas, please reach out, have your lawyer do so, or send me a copy. My email is in bio, as is my Signal.
