I spent two hours yesterday at Delaney Hall in Newark where 700 detainees are being held by ICE. What I saw and heard was horrific: worm-infested food, no access to medical care, no way to connect with their families.
Many of the detainees were lawful visa holders, including one 18-year-old who is missing her graduation and prom because she is being held in a cell.
This is not America. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop now.
Have a spare $165 sitting around?
Because Republicans' SAVE Trump Act amounts to a modern poll tax — creating expensive obstacles (like needing a passport) for YOU to vote.
The appropriate number of illegal immigrants voting in our elections is ZERO.
We can make that a reality if we pass the SAVE America Act into law today.
Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Republicans just voted to let Trump drag our country into a war that will cost us BILLIONS, drive up costs here at home, and put our service members at risk.
With no exit strategy or plan, they are driving us headfirst into another forever war. Shameful.
@RepJeffries The most un American self serving politician in modern history. In his position to say this war is un winnable does nothing but embolden Iran to hold on and definitely keep them from negotiating until the election coming in November. Causing countless lives in the meantime.
Donald Trump and Republican extremists are willing to spend billions to bomb Iran.
They have done nothing to bring down grocery prices or the high cost of living.
Congress must pass our War Powers resolution requiring Trump’s illegal regime change war to end.
Immediately.
In just one year in office, Trump has managed to:
-Raise electricity prices by 13%
-Raise gas prices by nearly 60%
-Destroy 165,000 clean energy jobs
-Cancel enough clean energy projects to power 13 million homes
I thought Trump was supposed to lower prices on Day 1? Guess not.
Congresswoman Omar’s son was pulled over by ICE while he was following the law, on his way home from Target.
This isn’t a targeted operation to find violent criminals, it’s racial profiling.
Yesterday, my nine-year-old son asked me why Black people seem kinder than white people.
I paused, not because I disagreed, but because I didn’t want to overwrite his lived experience with an adult lecture. So I asked him if that was something he’d noticed himself.
He nodded. “Yeah. They just are.”
Spineless Mike Johnson just refused to condemn Trump’s post about Rob Reiner “I don't do ongoing commentary about everything that's said by everybody in government every day.” Coward. If a Democrat said it, he’d be losing his mind.
