I'm about to arrive at the Dilley detention center in Texas. Diana Crespo is a second grader. She should be in school right now, not a prison in Texas. I will let you know what I see.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

I’d like to report a murder. Trying to fix a legacy media company is hard — we all know the economics — but Jeff Bezos just killed the @washingtonpost.com in the most cowardly & inept way possible. He would never entertain others who wanted to fix it too like me www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

I have served as the lead Democrat on issues regarding the Western Hemisphere. I have seen governments go after journalists and silence free speech. Many thought it couldn’t happen here. What we’re seeing with the arrest of Don Lemon—an independent journalist—is another step toward authoritarianism.

Free Liam Ramos and his father. Releasing this five-year-old and dad from custody and letting them return home is morally and legally imperative.
It's unconscionable to negotiate DHS funding until this happens, Noem and Miller resign and more.

The two charts present data differently (bar chart vs overlaid year lines) but share one obvious thing in common:
