🖋️ “Protect civil liberties and rein in overreach by ICE” hit 1,000 signers!

Protect civil liberties and rein in overreach by ICE
Text SIGN PRJJRB to 50409 — Our elected representatives have a solemn duty to uphold the constitutional rights of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, for participating in pro-Palestinian protests is a blatant violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech. Punishing people for exercising their right to protest sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundations of our democracy. Furthermore, the indiscriminate detention of other legal residents like Fabian Schmidt by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), without any stated cause, is a gross overreach of authority that cannot be tolerated. These actions not only infringe upon the civil liberties enshrined in our Constitution but also erode public trust in our institutions. It is imperative that members of Congress take decisive action to address these egregious violations of civil rights. Merely signing a letter demanding Khalil's release or inquiring about the circumstances surrounding these arrests is insufficient. Concrete steps must be taken to rein in the unchecked power of ICE and prevent the targeting of law-abiding individuals based on their political views or immigration status. As our elected representatives, you have a responsibility to be vocal advocates for the rights and freedoms that define our nation. Failing to take a strong stance against these transgressions would be a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the principles upon which our democracy was founded. The American people demand that you take definitive action to protect the civil liberties of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status or political beliefs.

This is fabulous!
I've been protesting, but I decided to do something different. I made an ad. I've given a lot of thought as to how to communicate without confrontation to Republican voters, non-voters, or Trumpers who are beginning to be concerned. I hope you'll watch - it's only 30 seconds. youtu.be/bp6XUjteeV4

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years.

Our veterans deserve better.

If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans.

I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

The fact they need to put this out is interesting. It shows they realize they can’t act with impunity (so keep it up) but I also wonder if this sets the stage for making Elon the fall guy when he inevitably overstays his welcome (“we had no idea…”)
It gets worse: Trump's Treasury Dept has a new letter spinning Musk's access to payment data as a mere "audit" that expands on work done during Biden admin. It's a sham. The letter simply ignores the biggest questions about this scandal.

New piece from me:

Trump-Musk Purge Scandal at Treasury Takes Yet Another Unsettling Turn
As the Treasury Department offers some new spin about Elon Musk’s takeover of payment systems and ousting of a top career official, Senator Ron Wyden tells us why this “reeks of a cover-up.”
