We have a for-profit system that’s trying to capitalize off human misery and is not accountable to anyone.

Drones are becoming increasingly central to defense systems worldwide — and the United States and our partners are unprepared to produce them at the necessary scale.

The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.

What I witnessed was really heartbreaking — just seeing Americans fighting other Americans in the streets, the level of division.

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure.

ICE officials told me that they were going to push through the crowd with their vehicle and they wanted to get some vehicles out of there.

Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately. ICE cannot be allowed to continue operating in this way.

I mean, that’s absurd.

It just kind of shows how this administration is often more interested in pouring gasoline on the fire.

Many of them raised big problems when it comes to getting medical treatment, the food being inedible, water problems. This is clearly a farce of a judicial process.

This particular wall in Unit 5 was essentially just drywall with some mesh inside, and that actually led to an exterior wall.

and Congress won’t back down from our jobs of oversight and holding this administration accountable.

USAID isn’t charity. It’s a foreign policy tool with bipartisan origins.

the U.S. is on the cusp of a 'constitutional crisis'

The U.S. is on the cusp of a constitutional crisis.

We are at a point where we are basically on the cusp of a constitutional crisis, seeing this administration taking steps that are so clearly illegal, and until we see a change in that behavior, we should not allow and condone that, nor…

In a few weeks, the Republicans are going to try to figure out how they move forward, and they have, for the last two years, needed Democratic votes for every single continuing resolution, and they should not count on that this time.

So yes, look, if we have to take steps to be able to hold them accountable, use the leverage that we have to force it, I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s…
