I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.

ICE kidnapped more than 10,000 people last week. We cannot ignore their continued abuse and violation of human rights. It's time to abolish ICE and replace it.

Make no mistake: in California, our democracy is working as it should. But our President is doing everything in his power to make you doubt that with constant lies. His baseless, anti-democratic rhetoric has no place in our electoral process.

Baraka pointed out that Delaney Hall, despite the Trump administration's claims, is not a federal facility. It is a private facility and they must abide by local and state laws.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

ICE goon Christian Castro has been charged with assault and shooting a man in Minnesota. He is the 2nd goon charged with a serious crime in that state in connection with the huge infamous ICE crime spree in that state. This is important. Not just talk. State officials are finally DOING SOMETHING.

The United States has moved into a stupid, corrupt era where reparations go to people who did bad things, not to people to whom bad things were done. 🤷‍♀️

This week my @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social colleagues hosted the first oversight hearings in Palm Beach County regarding the Epstein Files. It is past time for the files to be fully released & for every single named perpetrator out there to be held accountable.

The president wants to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. We won’t let him. NO on the SAVE America Act.

White House insiders have leaked that Trump is becoming increasingly unhinged. Behind closed doors Trump refers to himself as the most powerful man who has ever lived, and compares himself to Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Trump is gonna use nukes. Bookmark this post.

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.
