Trump is creating a secret police force to deploy into and terrorize American cities as he pleases. I introduced an amendment to defund it in our annual defense spending bill, and Republicans wouldn't even put it up for a vote. They are complicit in this assault on our freedoms.

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S.

Spare me your crocodile tears, Sen. Thune. If there's anyone you should be directing your anger towards, it's your overlord Donald Trump—he's illegally withholding emergency funding for SNAP and ordering you to not negotiate with Democrats.   Those are the real political games.

ICE & Border Patrol are a danger to public safety—not just for immigrant communities, but for every American.   If they will assault and gravely injure a 67-year-old U.S. citizen for simply going back to his house, they could come for you too.

In July, I pressed the senior State Department official in charge of this camp on the stranded Afghans, and he didn't even know of its existence. We must pass my Enduring Welcome Act—which has passed in @houseforeign.bsky.social—to resettle the Afghan allies who risked everything to help the U.S.

Apparently "the most meaningful work" of House Republicans' lives is burying the Epstein files, forcing people to go hungry, letting Trump recklessly kidnap people and blow up boats in the Caribbean, and... leaf blowing??

RAJU: Why not bring members back to DC to do the work they're elected to do? MIKE JOHNSON: We're evaluating this day by day. The House did its work. House Republicans are doing some of the most meaningful work of their careers. I don't want to pull them away from it.

The cruelty and chaos of Trump's ICE raids are about to increase. The claim that they were going after "criminals" was always a lie—now they're straight-up abandoning that principle.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.
Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.
I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."
It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

Rubio must swiftly deploy disaster aid to Jamaica as it reels from the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Melissa. Trump’s dismantling of USAID already depleted our disaster response efforts. The U.S. cannot be MIA as our Caribbean neighbor is decimated by a historic storm.

After a year of progress, Ms. Neal is unable to complete her Medicare renewal because Social Security cannot respond to congressional inquiries during a shutdown. Ms. Neal said it best: shame on Republicans for refusing to reopen the government and protect health care.

Seven years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh. As we remember the innocent souls lost, we recommit to combating the antisemitism, anti-immigrant hate, & white supremacy that motivated this horrific attack. May their memories be a blessing.

Glad that @governor.ca.gov signed Wakiesha's Law in California after years of advocacy by her family. No family's pain should be compounded by the delayed notification of the death of a loved one. Let's pass my bill to ensure this is law nationwide.

Trump pledged he wouldn't touch the East Wing—now he's torn it all down, like he's torn apart our Constitution. He also promised that his $350 million ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a cent. We need to know if he's lying about that too.

NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House. The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.

As a daughter of Chicago, I was proud to see the strength of the Windy City on display today at our shadow hearing on Trump's assault on Chicago. I brought a message from my recently-freed constituent Enrique in Culver City: keep fighting. LA is with you, Chicago.
