Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by ICE agents after working in the U.S. for 35 years. His sons, Ronaldo and Lorenzo Jr., testified before Congress and reminded us that this rogue agency MUST be held accountable for its horrific actions.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Working families across #AZ06 are paying the price for Juan Ciscomani's anti-worker votes. I'll work to bring good-paying jobs back to Southern Arizona so our communities can have the dignity of work and the chance to build their American Dream.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The Supreme Court made it easier for ICE to stop you for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. The ruling is a setback, but it’s not the end. Together we'll keep fighting.

Fwiw, I worked in DC when it was called the “murder capital of the world” (highest point on the graph). II investigated child abuse—unarmed and usually alone—in the most theoretically dangerous part of the city. It was during the crack epidemic. The violent crime was mainly between rival drug gangs.
