Trump is wielding federal funding as a weapon to chill dissent and enact political retribution. It’s time for Republicans to grow a spine and stand up to Trump and his abuses of power.

The power of the purse belongs to Congress! Trump is trying to cancel nearly $1 billion in funds already approved by Congress supporting critical programs, including those that serve Illinois and IL-03.

We MUST pass the EACH Act, repeal the Hyde Amendment, and expand access to comprehensive reproductive care!

Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @ramirez.house.gov · 1h
For too long - 50 years - Hyde Amendment has denied us essential reproductive healthcare. Decisions about our well-being and when to access abortion care are healthcare decisions that belong to women and those who can get pregnant.

We will not leave it to Trump and corporate CEOs to keep us safe - they won't and they never have. We, the people, can decide rules and limits, civil rights and protections, and proper oversight and guardrails for AI.

Investors are betting trillions of dollars on AI for one purpose: the possibility that it will someday replace humans… replace workers. But let’s be clear: AI needs US. WE do not need AI. We won't let diversions, rebrands, misdirection, or fake corporate "accords" confuse or deter us.

As the proud product of public schools, I believe that every child is precious and deserving of dignity, love, care, and opportunity! That is why I was proud to join Chicago Teacher's Union at their Annual LEAD dinner.

Trump, Miller, and Markwayne's shameful campaign to deport children is morally bankrupt—toddlers are facing deportation proceedings without representation. Unacceptable! We must reimagine what true safety and security looks like. My Reimagining Safety Act will dismantle DHS and Melt ICE!

While the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed Trump to resume his life-threatening third country deportations, the fight is not over! The Court will decide if third country deportations are lawful.

That starts by terminating CBP’s Integrated Surveillance Tower program and dismantling DHS. My bill, the Reimagining Safety Act, does that!

DHS has spent billions of taxpayer dollars on ineffective, negligent technologies with zero accountability or transparency. It's time to reimagine what true safety and security look like and how we achieve it.

While we work to dismantle their weapons, including DHS itself, Congress must use every tool at our disposal to conduct oversight and hold every fascist in power accountable.

Stephen Miller, the architect behind Trump’s white supremacist, fascist mass deportation campaign, has led the push to deport more than 200,000 children. His cruelty has caused so much pain and trauma.

"Wasted" is a generous way of saying that for profit companies made millions off the suffering of our communities through DHS. We have plenty of reasons to dismantle DHS, end detention, abolish ICE, and root out corruption.

The SAVE program is a Trump administration voter-suppression tactic. It's disappointing that the Supreme Court decided to capitulate to and enable an authoritarian, again. States must hold the line and do everything in their power to protect voting rights and our democracy!

Straight from the authoritarian playbook, Trump banned journalists and brought in his own propaganda crew.    Trump doesn't want you to question his corruption or ask about high prices; he just want to be flattered and fawned over.

From its establishment, DHS has always been empowered to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety. We cannot assure our security by sacrificing our humanity, dignity, or liberty.
