I’m deeply saddened that another DOT worker was tragically killed on a CT highway. Elvin Hernandez should be going home to his family tonight. Drivers must slow down & move over for road crews & first responders. It’s a matter of life & death.

The Administration’s open defiance of a clear court order represents a dangerous, destructive new low in its attack on the rule of law & the Constitution. The court ruling is incontestable—because Trump so blatantly violated 1st Amendment principles. 1/

Very impressively, media outlets stuck together, rallying in solidarity to resist Trump’s selective censoring—even as he endeavored to divide them. If Administration defiance continues, media must continue to resist this illegal conduct. 3/

This report confirms my repeated concerns that VA has recklessly cancelled hundreds of contracts with no consideration of the impact on vets or VA operations. These cuts harmed veterans & were hidden from Congress & the public by senior VA officials. vaoig.gov/sites/default/file…

Days after I announced today’s forum on ICE’s deadly violence, ICE was involved in another shooting. On Sunday, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot in Austin, showing that even after killing people in MN, ME, & TX, federal agents are still acting with disregard for human life.
