Trump’s HUD Secretary said Americans should get “equal rights, not extra rights.” We all know Trump and Turner think anti-discrimination laws give LGBTQ+ people “extra rights.” That’s why the Trump Administration wants to eliminate HOPWA, which provides #housing for people with HIV and AIDS.   HOPWA has had bipartisan support for 30 years, and it’s not going to stop now.

A Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them. Opposition is so intense, the poll found, that more Americans would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. wapo.st/48ZtSpE

Just yesterday, Republicans voted to provide ICE sweeping access to YOUR personal data with less safeguards, oversight, and accountability. It's irresponsible. ICE's mounting losses in court reinforce what we've already seen with our own eyes –– the agency is out of control. It can't be allowed to continue its reign of terror and certainly can't be given more opportunities to pursue wrongful prosecutions. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/press…
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: politico.com/news/2026/05/1…

GEO Group, the largest private prison company in the country and the first corporate PAC to max out to Trump's reelection campaign, is getting its money's worth: putting an executive in charge of ICE, who has over $2 billion in contracts with GEO Group. The swamp gets deeper and darker each day.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

David Venturella, formerly of private prison company Geo Group, will lead ICE. A federal ethics rule generally bars government employees from working on contracts awarded to their former employers for one year, but the Trump admin. granted him a waiver. wapo.st/4ws9BDe

The reckless Republican war of choice in Iran is crushing the financial situation of the American people. Donald Trump just made clear he doesn’t give a damn. At what point have you had enough?

💸 skyrocketing utility bills 🚱 vanishing water 🥵 rising temperatures This future is coming for communities around the country. Local governments are allowing AI and other tech mega-corporations to build data centers without fully understanding the impact they will have on communities. We're rushing headlong into this crisis because we don't fully understand the impact. My Data Center Community Impact Act would ensure we truly know how data centers impact communities so we can make informed decisions. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/press…
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers. Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country. fortune.com/2026/05/12/lak…

We must keep the pressure high and get ICE out of our communities. No one wants this detention facility here. It will bring nothing but fear and harm. We cannot allow ICE to continue its reign of terror. newjerseymonitor.com/2026/05/12/rox…

Congressional Republican's want to shell out $1 Billion of your taxpayer dollars for Trump's ballroom but wont even take a vote to help struggling parents by making diapers tax-free. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/press…
Alex Taliadoros@AlexCTaliadoros

The Washington Post Editorial Board defended Trump's $1 billion White House Ballroom. But according to them, California spending $12 million to provide diapers for newborn babies "infantilizes new parents."

Last year, ICE tried to keep me from exposing their inhumane behavior. And since then, their atrocities have only gotten worse. Today, I introduced a bill to reaffirm your right to have someone hold Trump and DHS accountable.

Oversight is how we keep people’s rights and dignity from being taken away by this cruel administration. ICE can’t operate in the dark—we won’t let them. That’s why, a year after Delaney Hall, I’m introducing the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act alongside @repbonnie and @RepMenendez.
Anna Liss-Roy@AnnaLissRoy

NEW: 1 year after @RepLaMonica’s visit to a detention center led to an ongoing legal battle with the Trump admin (& up to 17 years in prison)… TODAY, she & the 2 colleagues with her that day plan to introduce a bill to strengthen congressional oversight: washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Republicans have cost the average household an extra $5,000 thanks to: 💸 Trump’s tariffs 💸 soaring gas prices 💸 higher grocery bills 💸 health insurance premium increases 💸 spiking utility bills Instead of working to lower costs, Congressional Republicans have prioritized giveaways to their billionaire donors and rubberstamping Trump’s every whim including his billion-dollar ballroom.

It's Police Week! Police officers in New Jersey and around the country have difficult and often dangerous jobs. When they're starting out, many struggle to afford a home in the cities they serve. I'm proud to join @RepRutherfordFL to introduce the HELPER Act which would establish a new home loan program to make homeownership more accessible for first responders and teachers. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/press…

NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show. The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/us/…
