After gutting the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (created by Congress to protect people held in custody) last year by cutting its staff 90%, the Trump admin kills it completely at a time when ICE deaths have reached record levels. This is deliberate indifference.

Trump Shuts Down Office That Could Hold Him Accountable: ‘It’s Death By A Thousand Cuts’

The closure of the ombudsman’s office adds to the lack of oversight of immigration jails nationwide, despite the Trump administration’s efforts to surge detention capacity.

If the President wanted to curb nuclear risk, withdrawing from the JCPOA clearly moved us in the opposite direction. Now Americans are paying the price of Trump's reckless decisions with a 40% spike in gas prices – hardly a ‘small price’ to pay.

Trump on high gas prices for Americans: "What's happening is people are learning to buy oil from the United States. They're making the trip. Oil is at $102. That's a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged."

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMay 5(source)

Trump continues to chip away at DC's public institutions to create lavish playgrounds for his friends. It's completely shameful, but I'm glad to see the court put at least a temporary stop to this. Our public spaces should not become exclusive backrooms for MAGA sycophants.

A federal judge warned the Trump administration not to move forward with major changes at East Potomac Golf Links without first giving notice, voicing skepticism that the government has fully disclosed its plans to overhaul the site.

Donald Trump and his administration know tariffs are terribly unpopular and increasing costs for American families. That's why they refuse to let Congress vote on them – because they know they don’t have the votes.

UPDATE: Access to mifepristone has been rightfully restored. Mifepristone was safe and effective when the FDA first approved it over 25 years ago, and it remains safe and effective for the millions of people who have used it to end their pregnancies and manage their miscarriages since.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated a medically unnecessary, nationwide in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone. Today, a mifepristone manufacturer filed an emergency motion in the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the court to immediately block the decision. apnews.com/article/abor...

NINE THOUSAND people who work for the FBI — either two thirds of their agents or one quarter of their entire staff — have been diverted to doing at least some immigration enforcement by the Trump administration.

NEW: Trump diverted >9,100 FBI personnel to work on immigration during the first 9 months of this term, per public records I obtained. He multiplied them by a factor of 23 - from 279 before he took office to >6500 by September. theintercept.com/2026/05/01/f...

Trump’s destructive immigration policies could cost the U.S. up to $479 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Add in his massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and now the national debt has surpassed 100% of GDP. Complete fiscal negligence.

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

It’s been 60 days since Trump started this war against Iran. But this war should've never should’ve happened, and it needs to end. Now. Under the War Powers Act, this administration is now required withdraw our troops or make their case and seek Congressional authorization.

House Republicans just caved after the longest shutdown ever. They blocked funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service for over two months, then backed down after getting nothing. Making us less safe while they make life more expensive—an awful way to govern.

Leaded gas has been gone from cars for decades, but not planes. Rep. Jay Obernolte and I introduced the UNLEADED Act to ensure pilots, instructors, and aviation professionals have the tools they need to help general aviation transition away from leaded fuel. More on our UNLEADED Act here:

Since Trump decided to attack Iran, people have paid $16 billion more in gas. That’s $267 million a day. Or the price of 19 new private jets. Every day.
