Alex Pretti, the man murdered by Trump’s gang of lawless criminals on Jan. 24, 2026, while helping a lady who had been assaulted by federal agents.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Earlier today, Senate Democrats stood united to block a bill that included funding for DHS and ICE. Our collective activism made this happen.

This moment is pivotal. Our job is to keep up the pressure.

Today, the Senate Agriculture Committee voted along party lines to advance a crypto market structure bill to the full Senate. They shot down amendments that would try to address Trump’s corruption or that would prohibit bailouts of crypto firms.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.

- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.
