ICE Is Detaining DACA Recipients. It's Growing Harder for Them to Get Out. The Trump administration views DACA recipients as deportable as any undocumented immigrant.

DACA recipients are experiencing major delays in renewing their status. As a result, people are losing their jobs and facing detention and removal.

This is unacceptable. I’m joining @chuygarcia.house.gov and Rep. Lou Correa to demand answers from DHS.

EFF is Leaving X After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Ferguson signs WA high-earners income tax; challenges expected Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed the so-called 'millionaires tax' into law, enacting a 9.9% income tax on earnings of more than $1 million a year.

This is great news! It is time that the rich pay their fair share, and I’m so glad that my home state of Washington is leading the way.

Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.

Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation: The Reach of Summer Meals - Food Research & Action Center Published April 1, 2026 Hunger doesn’t stop when school lets out — and for millions of children, summer can be the hungriest time of year when they no longer have access to school meals.  This week, t...

While the Trump admin kicks millions off of SNAP, the Summer EBT program I helped to establish has reached over 21 million kids nationwide.

No kid in America should go hungry—it’s really that simple. 

I'll keep fighting tooth & nail to save SNAP and fight against child hunger.

He did in with COVID, January 6, and now this.

Oil and Stocks Wobble After Trump Vows More Iran Strikes

Donald Trump’s record now includes the largest 4-week increase on record of gas prices and the biggest one-day price increase in six years of oil.

Americans didn’t want this; what they wanted was relief.

Trans and nonbinary people are essential to the movement for sexual and reproductive health and rights — the fight for trans rights is our fight.

You should be free to live your life as your authentic self — with dignity and respect. Trans and nonbinary communities deserve that and more. 💞🏳️‍⚧️ #TDOV

New Washington law bans noncompete agreements Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson recently signed a law that makes noncompete agreements illegal statewide.

I was proud to push the Biden administration to enact a national ban on noncompetes from the FTC. After Trump reversed this policy, it’s great to see Washington state stepping up banning noncompete agreements.

This is a huge win for workers.

NBC News Headline: "Supreme Court rules against Colorado's ban on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ youth." Below the headline is a video thumbnail showing the exterior of the U.S. Supreme Court building, featuring classical columns and steps. Additional text from the article is below.

Conversion therapy is a harmful practice that poses serious danger to young LGBTQ+ people. It has zero place anywhere in this country.

This decision is further proof that we need a national ban.

Private Equity’s Great Escape - The American Prospect The industry bought companies for too much money and made a bunch of bad loans. Now they’re scrambling to avoid the reckoning.

If we had a functioning rule of law, private equity’s self-created losses would be crammed onto their own balance sheets. As it is, the Trump administration is enthusiastically aiding the industry’s efforts to use other people’s money to pay for their mistakes.

The New York Times: Pentagon Weighs Using Anti-Drone Lasers in Washington Airspace

The New York Times: Pentagon Weighs Using Anti-Drone Lasers in Washington Airspace

El Paso. Fort Hancock. DCA.

Has this Administration learned nothing?

Certainly doesn't feel like the time nor the place for this, but if Hegseth insists, Congress and the American people deserve to know what FAA and DoD are doing to ensure the public's safety.

This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.

Ports are the engine of our economy in WA state. So when federal law put us at a disadvantage, I pushed to change the law & deliver a solution.

Today I was at the @portofseattle.bsky.social to highlight the historic federal funding I secured to support our ports, the local economy, and job growth.

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice.

Conversion therapy is child abuse. It should be banned nationwide—and I have a bill to do just that.

I’m not going to stop fighting for a world where every person, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, can live with dignity and without fear.

34 Former Military Members Were Put on Deportation Track in the Past Year

In the last year, Trump's ICE arrested 125 Veterans—most without criminal warrants.

They tried to deport 282 Vets and their family members.

There is no higher betrayal to our Veterans than to be deported by the same nation they sacrificed to defend.

The most immediate threat to Social Security is Donald Trump.

From pushing out Social Security workers, worse customer service, and more, Trump is creating new problems and making it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get their benefits.

Good afternoon.

This is your daily reminder that Trump just lifted sanctions on Iran to give them $14 BILLION to hep fund their war against us.

In other words, your daily reminder that this is probably the dumbest war of all time.

The SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going let it get passed into law.

Are we seriously going to ask rural seniors to buy a $165 passport and drive miles and miles to register to vote in person?

Trump is dragging us into a senseless, unauthorized war of choice in Iran. And every time his officials come before us in committee, they deflect, ignore, and cover up the truth.

The American people deserve to know why we are in this war, and they deserve to know the threat it poses.

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.

Location records from data brokers are typically unlinked to a device owner's name, but police have tools to track where a device has gone, where it spends every night, and where it goes during working hours, EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @NPR.org.

Judge rules US government overreached with transgender health care declaration A federal judge has ruled that the government overreached when it declared certain types of gender-affirming care unsafe for young people.

A win against Trump and RFK Jr.'s agenda to erase the trans community.

Here in Illinois, we will continue to fight for a future where the trans community and their providers live freely, without fear of punishment.
