I am outraged by reports that the Trump Administration has attempted to raid the offices of legal service providers serving unaccompanied immigrant children.
We cannot allow this behavior to go unchecked. My full statement:

- In the Nation’s edition, recognizing America’s 250th anniversary, I wrote about how the American Dream that I have lived is out of reach for immigrants today. Read the full piece on my immigration story:
- Ten years ago, 49 people were killed at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Today, as we honor the victims, survivors, and their loved ones, we also recommit ourselves to working to end gun violence, hate, and bigotry in all its forms.
- My thoughts on Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire.
00:00 - NEW POD: I sat down with Morris Pearl of Patriotic Millionaires to discuss our rigged tax system and how we can work to change it. Watch below or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
- Trump plans to deport over two dozen individuals to the Central African Republic, including two Iranian women with no criminal record who sought refuge in the US. This is absurd – the US officially advises against any travel there. This flight must be stopped.
- Today, I toured the Epstein Reading Room with many of the courageous survivors who are lifting up the horrors of Epstein’s trafficking ring and fighting for accountability. If you’re in DC, you can visit this exhibit until Sunday. Reserve a time today: trumpsonian.us/rr
00:00 - Today I voted no on this sham extension of FISA that would allow continued spying on the American people. A warrant requirement would pass today if Republican leadership put it up for a vote. However, Trump is doubling down on his appointment of Bill Pulte, closing any pathways
- After all this talk about a supposed deal, Trump is threatening to hit Iran “very hard" and take control of their oil. This is exactly why the House passed a bipartisan resolution to stop this illegal war. ENOUGH.
- There's an illegal war going on, the average price of gas has almost doubled since the war started & tens of millions of Americans have lost their healthcare thanks to the GOP. Meanwhile, Trump is spending $60 million & forcing 7 federal agencies to work on....his UFC fight?
- Trump promised his “Board of Peace” would help rebuild Gaza. But Palestinians continue to be killed & there is ZERO transparency about the Board’s finances. I introduced an amendment to get answers & require documentation of civilian harm at any BoP sites funded by taxpayers.
00:00 - Republicans called us up at the last minute to do yet another short term extension of FISA. Americans have made themselves clear — they want their basic right to privacy respected. I am a NO on the FISA Section 702 extension.
00:00 - White phosphorus is a dangerous chemical that the Israeli military has improperly used across Lebanon, harming civilians. I introduced an amendment to prevent the sale or transfer of white phosphorus munitions to Israel because it is the moral and strategic thing to do.
