@heinrich.senate.gov 5 year old Liam Tadeo, kidnapped by ICE on his way to a soccer game, was just deported. Maybe you could call up your friend, MarkWayne, and discuss the dramatic increase of arrests of Immigrants with no criminal charges over a beer…
Note: Chart shows the seven-day rolling average of ICE arrests of people the agency recorded as having a past criminal conviction, criminal charges or neither. Violent crimes were determined based on categories from the National Crime Information Center. Arrests of those without criminal al charges have dramatically increased since the appointment of MarkWayne Mullin.

Chaco Canyon is a living, cultural landscape and the Trump administration's proposal to fully revoke the 10-mile mineral withdrawal is out of touch and immoral. They've opened a 14-day comment period. Please leave a comment to protect Chaco.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

#NewMexico please call senators Heinrich and Lujan to tell them not to trust ANY PROMISE FROM REPUBLICANS FOR ANY REASON AT ANY TIME. What was the point of the shutdown if ACA subsidies are not extended? CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW! Heinrich (202) 224-5521 Lujan (202) 224-6621

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

A little louder for the Senate Democrats in the back: The GOP controls the WH, House & Senate. You will not be responsible for a government shutdown. We need you to stand up for the American people. If you don’t, we will campaign and donate to Dems who will. @schumer.senate.gov

@lujan.senate.gov You need to listen to your messages and clear you mailbox AGAIN! Vote NO on the house CR-filibuster to kill it. It does nothing to protect SS, Medicaid, and Medicare. There are no protections against DOGE. Vote YES on Murray/DeLauro CR instead.

Early this morning, I proposed an amendment to support grants for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Grants Trump blocked. If you support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, this should have been an easy yes. Republicans voted no and killed it.

I would recommend calling your state’s attorney general and lodging a complaint against a private citizen occupying an illegal and non existent government agency for accessing personal and private data in the most abhorrent of circumstances. Also, file a complaint on line at state AG websites.

Probably the most useful thing Democrats can do right now is confirm that Elon Musk's team is committing felonies and they can be subject to civil and criminal penalties. If they want to take their chances on a pardon - up to them. But these are crimes, and they need to hear it from power.

Does anyone have verified information about the Colombian tariffs Trump threatened yesterday? Has it been resolved? Did Petro “cave”? Trying to find a legitimate source of news is a struggle.

Border Patrol raids in Kern County sent shockwaves: 75% of farmworkers skipped work, leaving citrus fields unpicked. With undocumented workers making up half the ag workforce and the Central Valley producing 25% of U.S. food, the result is clear: food inflation, shortages, and devastation loom.
