With TPS for Salvadorans scheduled to expire today, more than 170,000 people, including 30k in my district, face being uprooted from lives built over decades in the United States. DHS’s decision to delay deportations offers some relief, but families deserve certainty, not prolonged fear. TPS holders are our neighbors, friends, and family members. They deserve certainty, not to live in fear that any given day in America could be their last.
Scores of immigrants from El Salvador who have been shielded from deportation for decades because of ongoing violence and natural disasters in their homeland could now face removal from the United States after their benefits expire today. wapo.st/4yNfOKv

BREAKING: A whistleblower from USPS just exposed Republicans' scheme to disrupt mail-in ballots for millions of Americans. Trump and Republicans know they can’t earn your vote, so they’re doing everything they can to make sure your vote doesn’t count.
The USPS is reportedly set to comply with a Trump executive order by launching a hastily built, error-riddled system that could jeopardize mail voting huffpost.com/entry/postal-se…

A year after being injured and detained for simply documenting ICE during a raid, the charges against my friend and constituent, David Huerta, have finally been dropped. The Trump administration might not like it, but in America we have a First Amendment right to document government actions and speak out against attacks on our communities. I continue to stand with David and SEIU against the Trump administration’s abuses. No amount of intimidation or fear will silence us.
14 months after being tackled and pepper sprayed for observing an ICE raid, David Huerta is vindicated. This attempt to weaponize the justice system against anyone who dares to defend immigrant workers collapsed because the truth, and the videos, don't lie. To every worker, every immigrant, everyone who’s ever been targeted: now is the time to keep organizing.

No body cameras. Unmarked vehicles. Lorenzo wasn’t even ICE’s intended target. This is what rogue, reckless, and incompetent enforcement looks like, and it cannot go unanswered. DHS cannot be trusted. We need a full, independent investigation NOW.
New questions are emerging in the deadly ICE shooting in Houston after the Department of Homeland Security said the man fatally shot by a federal officer was not the agency’s intended target. Read more: abcnews.visitlink.me/oS5Nzk

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by ICE. This is horrifying. It is infuriating. Every single American should be outraged that a father left for work and never came home. I’m calling for a full, independent investigation into Lorenzo’s death. His family deserves a full accounting of what ICE did, and if misconduct occurred, those responsible must be held accountable.
The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston, is demanding a full investigation, with his son Ronaldo saying 'he did not deserve to die' after ICE claimed the shooting was self-defense reut.rs/4pdw6Zo

Today’s Supreme Court decision makes it clear: Trump is taking legal status away from immigrants who already have it. Haitian and Syrian TPS holders followed the law, worked, paid taxes and built lives here. Now every TPS holder is wondering: am I next? Cruelty by design.

Happy “I took away your constitutional rights” anniversary to Donald Trump. 😒 Four years later, I’m to committed to fighting everyday to restore Roe, protect contraception and IVF, and put women—not politicians—in charge of their own bodies.
Trump: I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of Roe v. Wade

This is unhinged. Trump is holding a bipartisan housing bill hostage to force through his agenda to suppress votes and rig elections. While people can’t afford rent, he’s using housing relief as a bargaining chip to cling to power. His priorities are clear.
BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has canceled the signing of the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. The stage is set in the Capitol. House GOP leadership is literally on stage right now touting the bill.

Maybe Americans wouldn’t be so pissed off about Trump’s birthday circus if he had anything to show for it. While families struggle with groceries, gas, and childcare, he's throwing a cage fight in the People's House for himself and the billionaire elites. What a disgrace.
What an embarrassment for the United States

President Trump created a LITERAL swamp... How ironic.
This is from a MAGA livestream today. The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting 🤮🤮 Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before.
