Our immigration enforcement system is simply broken. The deportation of children and innocent families is inhumane and unacceptable. No small child should face a judge without an attorney. 
It’s time to abolish ICE.

Today I'm in King Cove on the Aleutian Chain, talking with Alaska fishermen whose livelihoods are being wiped out by industrial factory trawlers and corporate greed in DC. They can't afford to wait, and neither can our fisheries. I'm fighting to make DC work for all of Alaska.

What does it say about a person who seemingly disregards the gang rape of a woman by 7 men because he doesn't like the prosecutor? If you're not condemning it, you're condoning it. Trump is an adjudicated rapist who is protecting pedophiles. 31 days. Say, no more.

He floated $5K DOGE checks, promised $2K tariff checks, and now offers another $5K if Republicans win. The first two never arrived. Apparently the checks are always in the mail—and the mailbox moves every election. Quite a rewards program: you supply the votes, he supplies the imaginary money.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
