These nitwits are at it again.

At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.

Essentially turning them into 'jails,' which the Mississippi Democrat says would constitute a misuse of the facilities.

If ICE has nothing to hide, DHS must make its facilities available.

This unlawful policy is a smokescreen to deny Member visits to ICE offices across the country, which are holding migrants – and sometimes even U.S. citizens – for days at a time.

Whether it's the Capitol on January 6 or Los Angeles this weekend, it's clear Trump is totally fine with lighting the match to stoke violence if he thinks it'll help him politically.

Suffice to say, disaster response is no joke.

It should go without saying that administration officials should not be using Signal for discussing intelligence matters reserved for the situation room — not to mention doing so incompetently by including members of the public.

Look, Anderson, it's -- well, any person running for office would have concern, but it's all hands on deck. Democrats know what's required to get the vote out. We're good at it. We get our friends in labor. We get the environmental…

I can't imagine, just like my friend, a Trump administration, he would be bad for this country. He said it. He'll be a dictator for a day. He'll do everything that's against American values.

We will take Joe Biden any day over a convicted felon.

The President spoke to the Black Caucus this evening. He talked about continuing the support of his administration. He talked about the policies that he had put forth that had benefited many of our constituents.

It is our shared interest that the security issues raised by the CSRB are addressed quickly.

I'm sure you are somewhat familiar with that article and the fact that we were left vulnerable with that situation.
