Shameful! Republicans cut healthcare and increased funding for human rights abuses & terrifying children and hardworking immigrants. We need a balanced process, NOT cuts to healthcare & NOT cruelty. That’s why @momsrising.org & @careinaction.bsky.social have new ads in PA-07, PA-08, WI-03, OH-01

Bring Liam home! 5-year-old Liam Ramos was detained while he returned home from pre-school with his father. Now, Liam is separated from his family, his classmates, and his home. No child should experience the fear and cruelty of family separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

Horrifying. Antisemitic terror targeting families gathering on a beach for a joyous celebration of Hanukkah. May their memory be a blessing.

She packed for Thanksgiving. She ended up deported. No person should be in fear while traveling this holiday season. 💔 Every family deserves to be together, always. #FamiliesBelongTogether

Wow. Stephen Miller and the White House political operation are now openly, explicitly celebrating the fact that *legally* present immigrants have lost their jobs:

Americans are soundly rejecting Trump’s out-of-control deportation agenda. Huge opening here for @democrats.org to go on offense with an affirmative case for immigration.

Exit polls are inexact. But they’re an OK approximation of how different demographic groups voted In 2024 New Jersey exit polls had Harris winning Hispanics by 13 points Tonight the exit polls have Mikie Sherrill winning Hispanics by 32 points Steven Miller may have turned Texas & Florida blue

Trump’s mass deportations bring a new wave of family separations
As ICE officers ramp up arrests, hundreds of migrant children are being sent to federal shelters. Some parents are given a choice: Deport with their children or face separation.

ICE has fatally shot an Illinois resident close to a school. Schools must be safe zones; ICE should not be creating this fear for our kids and families and communities- I join the IFT in calling for a full accounting

Horrified to see the news of Charlie Kirk being shot. There's no place for political violence in America - ever.

Great to see a grand jury - a group of everyday citizens - stand up against a would-be-dictator and reject a ridiculous felony indictment over a sandwich. In America we the people have the power. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a father, husband, union member, and day laborer—has been forced through half a year of unimaginable government abuse: disappeared to a foreign torture prison, lied about, and under imminent threat of deportation to Uganda and separation from his family.
