Secretary Noem acknowledges ICE and CBP can't shoot Americans for peacefully protesting, videotaping ICE officers or lawfully carrying a firearm, and yet her agents are routinely violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There is a total leadership breakdown requiring immediate change.

It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

Alex Pretti and RenΓ©e Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’

I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

"You told a lie about them. Do you regret that?" -- Raskin grills Noem about her comments that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists

I want to know Secretary Noem's plan to stop masked ICE and CBP agents from killing American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We can enforce our immigration laws without terrorizing American citizens and immigrant communities.

Once again, a federal court affirms that Members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits of ICE detention facilities. The American people demand oversight, accountability and reform of the administration's inhumane immigration practices.

Today, Secretary Noem takes some questions from House Judiciary Democrats. Here’s one: why are masked federal agents wreaking havoc in our citiesβ€”intimidating, attacking and killing both immigrants and American citizens?

Justice for victims or coverup for their traffickers?

Health care for all or corrupt self-enrichment for the president?

The Bill of Rights or a catalogue of escalating wrongs against the people?

The battle lines are drawn in Congress.

Thanks to the expert team from D.C. Water repairing the sewage spill at the Potomac Interceptor for giving me an extensive tour of both the damage and the critical repairs being implemented at the C&O Canal. A full remediation plan is up next.

House Democrats bringing Jeffrey Epstein survivors to Trump's State of the Union speech Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he was bringing Haley Robson as a way of "bringing accountability to the Epstein class."

As Trump's numbers sink like a stone, he grows ever more desperate to bury the secrets buried in the Epstein File. The survivors plan to make sure the truth is known and justice is done.

Trump’s DOJ isn't focused on arriving at the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring and all of its crimes and accomplices.

Trump’s DOJ is focused on diversion, distraction, delay, and setting trapdoors for Congress. Pam Bondi is running a coverup.

Trump is shredding our Constitution every day. Instead of answering for all the damage inflicted on our people and the rule of law, Attorney General Pam Bondi spent her time before the Judiciary Committee name-calling, filibustering and deflecting from her indefensible Epstein coverup.

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

I asked Attorney General Pam Bondi whether she would create a federal-state-local task force to investigate the horrific abuses perpetrated through Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring.

Her prolonged response: *crickets*

Some striking arguments here from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to Pam Bondi

"You replaced real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges who robotically do the President's bidding"

"Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza.. and you deliver every time"

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

Yet another epic failed indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. You just can’t fool citizens on a grand jury with MAGA propaganda. Why doesn’t DOJ stop embarrassing itself with political vendettas and actually investigate the Epstein ring?

Shaare Tefila congregation in Washington suburbs defaced with antisemitic graffiti Signs outside the Conservative congregation in Olney, Md., were spray-painted with a swastika and an antisemitic slur

Montgomery County is horrified by the swastika and antisemitic graffiti scrawled on Shaare Tefila in Olney. Our community sends the congregation our sympathy, solidarity and affection. I know anyone trespassing and defacing property like this will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
