Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

These most recent allegations against Trump are vile and disgusting.

Nobody is above the law. Especially not the leader of the pedophile protection party.

The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war in Iran.

The price of unchecked war powers is paid by innocent civilians and servicemembers sent into harm’s way.

Voting YES to put a check on Trump's reckless abuse of power.

The War in Iran is costing taxpayers nearly $1 billion a day.

While Trump funds another illegal war, Republicans in Congress are cutting healthcare and food assistance. 

Invest in the American people, not more endless wars.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.

I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

This week, the House will be voting on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie.

I will be voting YES to stop U.S. involvement in another illegal forever war.

Morally indefensible and unacceptable.

For months, ICE has been running around Minnesota with no accountability. The community has responded, like this volunteer street medic who was out the day Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE presence may have slowed some, but Minnesotans are still looking for justice.

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s “Operation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives.

Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran

“President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. 

“As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.

White House to pause $259M in Minnesota Medicaid dollars in fraud crackdown It’s the latest in a growing list of fraud-focused threats and probes from the Trump administration.

This is about political retribution.

Trump is weaponizing the federal government to punish states like Minnesota that didn’t vote for him — ripping away funds from pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities.

You don’t fight “fraud” by hurting the most vulnerable.

Ilhan Omar: ‘You know damn well I was going to respond to’ Trump’s Somali ‘lie’ Omar is one of just a handful of Democrats who spoke out during Trump’s nearly two-hour soeech

I asked Ilhan Omar said Trump's comments about Somalis made her want to speak out:

"you know damn well I was going to respond to that."

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Children are suffering in a for-profit prison.

Send them home. Abolish ICE. And ban private, for-profit prisons forever.

Today we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson proved that a national political movement could be built from bold progressive ideals and an unshakable vision of radical love and justice. May he rest in power.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

What the Crackdown Has Done to Minneapolis Children

Minnesota has now been turned into a war zone by a federal government that has lost sight of the values that make America great.

We must impeach Kristi Noem and abolish ICE.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.
