.@Sec_Noem, your options are limited: You either resign; Your supreme leader fires you; Or you will be impeached. Today, I took the first step towards your impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into your lawlessness.

From Iran to Cuba, U.S. imperialism is worsening human suffering.    As a result of Trump and Rubio's sanctions, Cuba’s power grid is collapsing – leaving families in darkness and without essential services. Now, the administration is threatening military action.    We must put an end to their unlawful plans in Cuba. That's why I lead 32 of my colleagues to demand the administration change course. I will continue fighting for policies that prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and cooperation with our neighbors.

Cuba's national energy grid suffered a major failure early Thursday that severed power to the island's eastern provinces, authorities said, as residents in the capital Havana faced ongoing blackouts. to.pbs.org/4d7DOzS

Little Greg, the short, fired, irrelevant wannabe Nazi is CRASHING OUT over the word “Congresista”.

Rep. Ramirez has done more for her community in a day than this loser ever did in his entire career.
Gregory K Bovino@GregoryKBovino

What is a “ Congresista” @repdeliaramirez ? We speak English in this country, maybe you ought to learn some. As for accountability, who is accountable for Ms Goorman who was murdered right in your neck of the woods? Liberal sheep and illegal aliens don’t want to talk about that. Accountability goes both ways, honey. @OldPatrolHQ

78 years ago, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages destroyed during the Nakba. Today, millions of Palestinians continue to be displaced and thousands have died because of the Israeli government's genocide. We must continue to fight for policies that center universal human rights, accountability, and our shared humanity. That's why I am joining @RepRashida to recognize the 78th anniversary of the Nakba and affirm Palestinian refugees' rights.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib@RepRashida

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

1. Aren't you retired? 2. Last I checked, English is not the official language of this country. Congress has not passed such a law. But again... what would you know about laws?

To no surprise, Markwayne is moving forward with the plan of converting commercial warehouses to detention centers. No matter who is at the helm of DHS, their mandate has not changed. Detention facilities are just another money-making venture for the administration and corporations. But we know they are unsafe, inappropriate, and inadequate. We must BAN warehouses for immigration detention, END detention, MELT ICE and DISMANTLE DHS.

Breaking news: The DHS is moving forward with its plan to convert warehouses around the country into immigration detention centers, despite mounting legal challenges and a government watchdog probe into the agency’s purchases of the buildings. wapo.st/4dolH7t

Private detention centers that donate to Donald Trump's campaign and contract with ICE will now *run* ICE. Plain AND simple. David Venturella’s appointment ensures Trump’s corporate bosses continue to profit from our communities’ pain. Corruption is how authoritarians reward loyalists and consolidate power. It is how the Trump administration operates. But we do not consent. We demand oversight and accountability. Let’s MELT ICE, end detention, and dismantle DHS.

"'Private detention centers that contract with ICE will now *run* ICE. That’s probably the easiest way to explain it,' Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), told me." That is as ominous as it sounds. The latest edition of Huddled Masses from @Carrasquillo: lnk.thebulwark.com/3R9oJFr

This morning, I hosted a shadow hearing with @RepSylviaGarcia on how the Trump administration's rapid expansion of 287(g) agreements to deputize local law enforcement for its mass deportation agenda is harming our communities. Thank you to all the panelists, members of Congress, and guests who joined us. We must keep fighting like heaven and hell in Congress, in the courts ,and in the streets to protect our communities.

New: In several cities, judges have chastised federal officers, saying they used excessive force. One former DHS leader called ProPublica’s findings a “bright red flag.” propub.li/4tpfrT4

Trump’s appointment of a veteran of the prison-industrial complex is a shocking display of how intertwined private industry and government bureaucracy have become over the last sixteen months. lnk.thebulwark.com/3R9oJFr

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks’s resignation is another testament to the people’s organizing and pressure. But just like Noem and Bovino, he will not escape accountability. They must be held accountable for their violence against our communities, and we must dismantle DHS.
Camilo Montoya-Galvez@camiloreports

CBS News: U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks, formerly Texas' border czar until his appointment by the second Trump administration, is stepping down, sources tell CBS News. He informed staff today.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing local law enforcement and turning police departments into ICE agents. We must end 287(g) agreements and stop forcing local and county governments to do ICE’s job. @HispanicCaucus @repdeliaramirez @HouseDemocrats

Fascism always requires a public enemy. With the subpoena of Chicago Public School leadership, Republicans have set their sights on our schools. Schools are meant to be sanctuary spaces for our young people – including those of the LGBTQI+ community – to dream, grow, and realize their full potential. We won’t betray the fundamental belief that every child is precious and deserving of dignity, love, care, and opportunity.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at last week’s in-person town hall in Portage Park! Being in community and hearing from you is essential to the work I’m doing to represent you in Congress. I will continue fighting for every single thing working families need to thrive.
