Trump’s DHS is detaining thousands of immigrant children across the country in horrifyingly cruel conditions. Kids are being separated from their families, their schools, and their communities. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. Read their stories: t.co/Kmq0o09Y6X

Trump and his MAGA cronies are trying to illegally and unilaterally take money out of the climate bank that I worked to pass into law. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was investing in clean, cheap energy to lower your bills. The courts must stop this brazen heist now.
1.5 million Armenians were killed in the Armenian Genocide. That truth cannot be erased. I’ve fought to ensure the U.S. recognizes these crimes as genocide, and I will keep standing with the Armenian community against the Trump administration's efforts to rewrite history.
Republicans want fewer people voting – especially Black and Brown voters. Trump and MAGA can’t win in 2026 on policies, so they’ll have to interfere with elections. We must protect the right to vote.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
The Trump administration wants to collect five years of social media history from visitors from Visa Waiver countries. That’s invasive, creepy, and undermines trust with our closest allies. People should be able to visit loved ones and enjoy our country without being digitally stalked.
I'm grateful a judge has terminated removal proceedings against Rümeysa Öztürk. But let’s be clear: she never should have faced removal in the first place.
Rümeysa is an example to us all of what it means to speak truth to power. Her courage and grace are inspiring.
What this ad doesn’t show: Ring also rolled out facial recognition for humans. I wrote to them months ago about this. Their answer? They won’t ask for your consent.
This definitely isn’t about dogs—it’s about mass surveillance.

There is no clause in the Constitution or law on the books—none—that allows a President to commandeer state elections. No emergency power. No implied authority. No ‘because I say so.’ We will not let Trump take over our free and fair elections.
Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for standing up for democracy and speaking truth to power. This is a deliberate attempt by Beijing to crush dissent and silence independent voices in Hong Kong. Speaking out is not a crime—it is the foundation of democracy.
Happy birthday E-Rate! Thirty years ago today I created the E-Rate program to ensure we keep students connected to the digital world, no matter their zip code. Thank you to the educators, students, schools, and libraries who have joined the fight to close the digital divide.
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last. You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know—their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
Last week, I demanded answers from ICE again about inhumane conditions at Burlington, following up on my oversight visit. This is no place to hold people. Accountability now.
