In both of those cases, video footage showed that neither Martinez nor Good tried to use their cars against ICE agents. The DHS has not provided any evidence to back up its claim in Salgado Araujo’s case, and has even pressured witnesses to “self-deport.” trib.al/sTewvdx

On Tuesday morning, ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Now, as hundreds march in Houston and Salgado’s family demands an impartial investigation, DHS is using a familiar playbook: They are blaming Salgado for his own death by asserting he “weaponized his vehicle."

Trump has now rolled back fishing protections in every U.S. Marine National Monument, opening millions of acres of previously protected ocean waters to commercial fishing. The move threatens critical habitat for whales, sea turtles, sharks, coral reefs, and other marine life.

The fundamental issue of our day is this: Who should our government actually work for? Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us? Kudos to Mayor Mamdani for reminding us that government can (and should) work for the people.
Mamdani: "Govt efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are R priorities, when in fact they're priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people"

Anger over the data center boom has spilled into politics with voters unseating local politicians who support them. It's become an issue hard to ignore in the midterm elections.

Washington DC's 240 million-gallon sewage spill early this year was the largest in U.S. history. But the real story is what it reveals about aging infrastructure nationwide: The EPA estimates 23,000 to 75,000 sewer overflows happen annually (and there isn’t even a national reporting system).

As we learn that Gabbard has referred the Ukraine whistleblower and the IG to the DOJ for prosecution, keep in mind that last May, a whistleblower reported her for hiding intel about foreign agents discussion someone close to Trump about Iran. From February: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-tulsi-...

🚨YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: IRS data show 164 taxpayers with an average unreported foreign account balance of $1.3 billion were identified for examination - but only 12 were audited. The agency didn't do more audits even after they discovered $39 million of taxes owed among the 12.

It's long past time we stopped sending Israel weapons to enable war crimes. Tonight's vote shows how fast the ground has shifted - and will continue to shift.
*Forty* senators voted against US weapons for Israel tonight. ~1/2 the chamber & the overwhelming majority of Democrats + allies. No such vote had ever occurred in Congress before November 2024. A sea-change that will resonate in Tel Aviv, dramatically boost calls for a Dem overhaul + reckoning.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov* for voting against funding for the Gestapo. Keep the partial shutdown going until you can, at the very least, claw back some of the $75 billion ICE slush fund.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

President Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism. Part of that is creating the myth of the “Great Leader” by naming public buildings after himself—something dictators have done. Today I introduced a bill with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to stop it.
