Donald Trump’s rhetoric has shifted from grievance to a direct assault on the mechanics of our democracy.
What were once threats are becoming actions — a dangerous signal of what's to come for the 2026 midterms.

I voted against funding DHS and ICE. As funding talks continue, the American people deserve safeguards and accountability against further violence.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

It's time for Americans to stop referring to Trump and his cabinet full of lawless thugs as an "administration" and identify them as what they truly are: A REGIME. Only then can the others remove their blinders. It is time to create a pre-midterm election action plan. Time is running out
