When we win, we need to deliver. If we do not, the backlash will be severe. Our nation and the world cannot bear that. We need to not only defeat Trumpism, but tackle the conditions that led to its rise.

With book bans on the rise, I want to recognize Banned Books Week. Banning books threatens our First Amendment rights and censors critical voices that deserve to be heard. We must continue to support our libraries and educators to protect the freedom to read for all Americans.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

The IRS lost 28 percent of its workforce in a year, which the Yale Budget Lab puts at $600 billion in uncollected revenue over a decade. That is roughly the Medicaid money the same bill cut. Calling any of this savings is like calling a foreclosure a break from the mortgage.
