I'm incredibly supportive of finding a more prominent location for our plaque honoring law enforcement that responded on January 6th.

It's a shame Republicans hid it for so long. We're righting that wrong.

This long overdue good news is a direct result of record Democratic turnout in our community and across the state.

This is what happens when the people use our collective voice at the ballot box.

Permitting reform must be undertaken expeditiously, but it can’t happen at the expense of tribal communities.

An immediate priority for our party should be to prevent private companies like Acquisition Logistics, CoreCivic, and others from further profiting off human suffering and cruelty.

Accountability at places like Camp East Montana and Dilley is coming.

Dem control already factoring into private detention plans. During @CoreCivic earnings call today, CEO Lucibeth Mayberry was asked if election results will affect future sales of ICE facilities to DHS. "We would urge the ICE administration to to move quickly," she said.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dolores Huerta.

For 70 years, she paved the way for working people and the labor movement in our country. She will be deeply missed.

May she rest in power.
