I want the entire nation to hear me when I say this isn’t just an attack on the people of LA, this is an attack on every person in every city in this country. Today’s ruling is not only dangerous – it’s un-American and threatens the fabric of personal freedom in the U.S.

The Supreme Court just gave ICE the green light to racially profile until this case is resolved. This means ICE can target you without cause based on your skin color, occupation, neighborhood, and even for speaking English with an accent. It’s a direct attack on our rights.

The healthcare sector has fueled the economy in Texas and the U.S. for decades. Now, Trump’s huge Medicaid cuts threaten growth. With a stalling economy and aging population, our communities cannot afford this attack on healthcare.

The U.S. labor market would be barely growing without job gains in health services. Eight charts look at employment and the American workforce.

ICE has been putting a car with two agents outside my home. A former agent told me this is an "intimidation tactic". On Friday, they disappeared a man off the sidewalk out front. Now they're gone after lots of shouting. Shit's getting real. But @MigrantInsider don't scare.

Where does this leave Americans and our servicemembers? Less safe. As Trump authorizes more military operations in the Caribbean, the risk of another deadly and costly conflict grows.

Not only has the Trump admin failed to present sufficient evidence, but their story keeps changing. The Trump admin recklessly escalated military tensions with Venezuela, and they can’t even keep their story straight.

The strike was carried out without evidence. These individuals could have easily been arrested and tried — consistent with the rule of law and American values. We all agree on stopping the flow of drugs coming into the U.S. but this amounts to an execution.

The Trump administration’s strike against a Venezuelan boat allegedly operated by Tren de Aragua was conducted outside of the rule of law. THREAD: Here’s how actions like this make the world more lawless and dangerous for Americans everywhere — including our servicemembers.

The entire Trump Administration is on a killing three against any energy project not owned by Trump’s donors, jacking up utility rates for everyone, and none of Trump’s crooked lackeys even have a fake answer for why. This is staggering.

My colleague @Rep_Magaziner asked a simple question to a Trump Administration official to provide a reason for why they halted an 80% complete offshore wind energy project, putting hundreds of jobs at risk and squandering a much-needed energy supply expansion for CT & RI.

The latest jobs report is a bad sign for our economy. For Texas families, too many Republican policies are working against them. I’m working in Congress to lower costs for things like groceries, childcare, and housing.

White House officials are on Capitol Hill to instruct Republicans on how to “sell” the Big Ugly Bill to their constituents. What's to sell? It raises the cost of living, guts healthcare, and it gives tax cuts to billionaires. The reality is Republicans are selling out

This morning, Trump aides plan to walk House Republicans through the megabill's most popular bits that Trump wants them to tout ahead of midterms. They'll urge a focus on its tax cuts for "working families," per one source briefed on the presentation.
