NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

NEW: Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concern that the administration might be laying the groundwork to deploy troops to the polls. And @pgeddington.com thinks it may just start with Virginia’s fast-approaching gubernatorial election.

Today, I stand with the millions of Americans making clear this country doesn't belong to a king.

It’s a democracy, and it belongs to the people.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers.

Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla.

The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

We are endlessly proud of our client for exposing today how DOGE has plundered agency systems and exfiltrated the private data of millions of Americans. It's time for Congress to act and to stop our democracy from slipping away.
Per bombshell @npr.org reporting & whistleblower reports obtained by Oversight Democrats, Elon’s DOGE is stealing sensitive data from the independent gov't agency that protects workers from corporate exploitation.

We are demanding an immediate investigation.
