Everyday makes it clearer: Congress can't allow AI to continue operate without guardrails, oversight, or accountability. The reckless acceleration of AI has shown us that it can be a threat to working families and our democracy.

Anthropic's Claude accessed publicly available Georgia voter data without human authorization, a disclosure sure to add to growing concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Trump dragged us into an endless war because he knew he would profit from it. The crooked fascists in the administration don’t care if we’re sick, unhoused, uninsured, or dying if it benefits them, makes them rich, and keeps them in office and out of jail.

Social Security is the only lifeline for many Americans who expected to retire with dignity. As prices are at a record high, this year Social Security benefits will only increase by 3.6%. You and I both know that a 3.6% increase is not enough!

Survivors, we see you, we believe you, and will continue to fight for you. The use of irresponsible, violent rhetoric by public officials can't be normalized. We must condemn it and act to root it out.

President Trump doubles down on his support of the attack ad made by Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, featuring opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother.

No one who would weaponize a political opponent's pain and trauma for political advantage has the character to serve. Shame on Ramaswamy, shame on Trump, and shame on anyone who would defend the political ad targeting Amy Acton.

For 13 days, immigrants suffering inhumane conditions in a Texas detention center have been on a hunger strike. At least one hunger striker has confirmed connections to Illinois. I stand with our neighbors putting their bodies on the line to demand DHS honor their basic human rights.

We have a million reasons to abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.   It’s time to end the murders, kidnappings, and surveillance of our communities and reinvest in true community safety. My Reimagining Safety Act does just that.

For years, our communities have been surveilled, threatened, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared—regardless of immigration status. 60 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet. disappearedinamerica.us

Let's reform DHS, I guess 😒 Reforms won't cut it! We must dismantle DHS, abolish ICE and CBP, hold the fascists accountable, and build something new based on the best parts of how we care for one another. Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

The Trump administration gutted CISA to further fund his mass deportation agenda and set the stage for a coup.   It’s time to protect the people by returning CISA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard to their mission. Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

The rise of fascism and authoritarianism in our country has been facilitated by DHS. DHS can't be reformed. We have to dismantle it, abolish ICE, and build something new that honors our democracy, civil rights, and shared humanity. I have the bill to do that! Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

cbsnews.comFederal agents knock on doors to track down possible noncitizen voters ahead of midtermsArmed and in uniform, agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors to ask residents about their immigration status whether they're registered to vote.

The recent detention of 80 harvest volunteers by the IDF is inexcusable. Our government must work to ensure the immediate release of all the detainees and demand an end to rising settler violence that is being facilitated with Americans' dollars.

The Trump admin has used DHS & weaponized the courts to persecute dissenters like Mahmoud for exercising their 1st Amendment rights & speaking truth to power. Through his case, the administration seeks to undermine our constitutional rights, including our rights to Habeas Corpus & due process.

Mahmoud Khalil takes deportation fight to the US Supreme Court https://aje.news/6ws0td

In the courts, in the streets, and in Congress, we demand the federal government respect EVERYONE's constitutional rights. We do not accept that we must surrender our rights in the name of "security," because fascism ALWAYS requires a public enemy.

Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, paid for by American taxpayers. As Israeli airstrikes continue to kill children and families in Gaza, half a million Palestinians are set to lose access to food and assistance.

That's why, ahead of the midterm elections, Trump and his administration have spread lies about election integrity, gutted the election security division of CISA, threatened to send armed agents to the polls, and even attempted to hack voting machines.

The Trump administration is using DHS to attempt to secure his authoritarian regime. We CAN change that. It’s time to protect the people by returning CISA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard to their mission. Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

As the Trump administration is once again moving to end their union contract, I want to remind us that worker solidarity will continue to protect us. We have been here before, we've won before, and we will win again.

Building something new, creating in a time of destruction, is a revolutionary act.   My Reimagining Safety Act is proof of our hope and belief in what is possible even in dark times.   Let’s abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, and reimagine safety.

Since its inception, DHS has been utilized by the government to target and persecute those they consider the public enemy — whether it is Muslim-Americans, Haitians, Latinos, or dissenters. It’s time to abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, and reimagine safety.

Authoritarians stand with authoritarians. Whether its purchasing diesel from Russia when the proceeds will be used to wage war on Ukraine or by seeking to influence elections in Israel in Netanyahu's favor, Trump's actions show who he works for and what he prioritizes.
