Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.

92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?

We are proud to have coordinated with Disappeared In America and the Not Above the Law Coalition to get family members of those in ICE detention centers at the Noem hearing today. #notabovethelaw #ICEOUT

Noem's DHS authorized warrantless home invasions and detained over 170 American citizensβ€”including children who were deported despite their citizenship. She blocked all congressional oversight while her agents operated without accountability.

Today, she's testifying at an oversight hearing #ICEout

Noem's ICE has violated over 200 court orders in the last two months.

This lack of compliance is unprecedented and dangerous.

The courts are forcing DHS to comply because Noem thinks she only has to follow the rulings "when they apply."

Noem is not above the law.

Sheldon Whitehouse: Could you explain this?

Kristi Noem: Sir, I'm looking at a picture of an interior. Looks like a bedroom of an airplane.

Whitehouse: What kind of deportee justifies being flown out of the country in a luxury jet with a bedroom and accommodations.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

This is not just about one vote. SAVE Act would force proof of citizenship to register, build a de facto national citizenship database and add new ID hurdles that hit young, poor, Black, brown, naturalized and disabled voters hardest.

Tell the Senate to keep it dead. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

In the first moments of his State of the Union, Trump said "our enemies are scared" -- does he mean the American people who are enduring a lawless and violent ICE force brutalizing us in the streets of our cities?

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules most of Trump’s tariffs are unconstitutional.

This is a HUGE loss for the President.

14 million households now owe past due utility bills. Trump didn’t create an energy boom - he created an affordability crisis that leaves families choosing between heat and hunger. This isn’t leadership - it’s neglect. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

Groceries up. Rent up. Insurance up. Profits up.

Trump’s answer? More tax cuts for billionaires and chaos for everyone else.

This isn’t inflationβ€”it’s sabotage.

Valentine's Week of Action 🩷

Our faith calls us to love our neighbors β€” and that means standing with immigrants in our communities. As families face violence, detention, and dehumanization, we choose solidarity over silence.

Love is resistance. #ToImmigrantsWithLove

To Immigrants With Love Immigrants are loved. Immigrants are essential. Write a letter #ToImmigrantsWithLove today!

ICE’s lawlessness and violent tactics demand accountability. While advocates work for accountability in the courts and in Congress, there is more that can be done. Learn more about the #ToImmigrantsWithLove week of action: www.toimmigrantswithlove.com

Healthcare saves lives.

ICE terrorizes communities.

Budgets reveal values.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

When the government disappears people by pulling them off the street into unmarked cars without any due process or accountability, that’s not β€œlaw enforcement.”

That’s state sponsored terrorism.

ICE is showing up at people’s homes without warrantsβ€”violating the Constitution and terrorizing families.

No judge’s signature means no right to enter.

No warrant. No consent. No ICE.

Today, in a massive show of support, 1,025 organizations, including immigrant justice, human rights, civil rights, faith, and labor organizations, sent a letter to members of Congress to express horror, outrage & deep grief about the recent shooting deaths by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Trump's Republican Party has money for raids, cages, and deportationsβ€”but not insulin, ERs, or mental health care? Bullshit. #FundHealthcareNotICE

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Republicans are cutting healthcare, protecting insurance company profits, and leaving families to pay the price. Higher costs. Fewer doctors. Worse outcomes. This isn’t policy failure, it’s a choice. #RepublicanHealthcareDisaster
