We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

Yesterday in New York, ICE agents shot yet another person. This time, while his on 5-year-old child was in the same car. From coast to coast, ICE's brutality continues to traumatize our communities. This administration is using your tax dollars to implement their violent anti-immigrant agenda. 🧵

The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.
