It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

Another tragic example of how Trump’s indiscriminate immigration raids are targeting the most vulnerable among us, including the family of a deaf child seeking asylum. The cruelty is astounding. Will do all I can to try to reverse this. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Emmanuel Damas' death was entirely preventable. He died from sepsis. That started as a tooth infection while under ICE detainment. I’m urging DHS for a full investigation into his passing, and demanding proper medical care for all who remain behind the walls of these inhumane detention centers.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

16 years ago today, the Supreme Court erased the limit on how much the wealthy and big corporations could pump into elections. Since Citizens United, we've seen billions of dollars of dark money drowning out the voice of American voters.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Don't let this administration fool you. The real reason behind this meddling in Venezuela is less about drugs than it is about dollars. Oil dollars.

I'm announcing loan commitments from major lenders and expanded state mortgage relief for Angelenos whose home were damaged by last January's firestorms. Deeply grateful to our partners for stepping up to help fill the gaps where the federal government is falling short.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
