No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

It’s no surprise that Trump is reshaping the FTC, an agency that’s been looking at his close ties to billionaires. Corporations see the FTC’s cases as an attack on US enterprise, but antitrust law is vital for healthy democracy. Fmr. FTC Chair @linamkhan.bsky.social joins me @ 11aET #Velshi

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.
Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class.
We cannot let it happen.

The Trump Administration just canceled training for firefighters, right before wildfire season.
The National Fire Academy trains about 100,000 people every year — and is a critical resource for smaller fire departments and volunteers across the country.
