Donald Trump (or his handlers) posted around 30 times in the past half an hour.

Unglued.

The last Senate-confirmed ICE Director was Sarah Saldaña, in December 2014. Since January 2017? No confirmation.
Just “acting.”
A decade of enforcement without full accountability. See the problem. #ICE #Toddlyons

In a clear rejection of failed immigration policies, the House passed a forced vote to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians!

Many Haitians with #TPS work in hospitals, airports, and care jobs. They deserve protection, not deportation.

The Senate must act now. #KeepThemHome

They Said Discharge Petitions Don't Work on Immigration Policy. Ayanna Pressley Just Proved Them Wrong. Final vote on three-year extension of protections for 350,000 Haitians passed today 220-207.

“Discharge petitions almost never work. They require 218 signatures — a majority of the full House — and party leadership in both chambers typically treats them as threats to institutional order. On immigration, they have historically died well short of threshold. This one didn’t."

We can do great things together. #tps #immigration

“Limbo” isn’t a legal status. Millions are living, working, contributing… and stuck. Create a real pathway to permanence. Because uncertainty is not an immigration strategy.
#AILADayOfAction #immigration

America doesn’t lose jobs to immigrants.
America loses jobs to a system that can’t keep up.
Modernize legal immigration. Clear the backlogs. Let talent work. If the system worked, the debate would look very different.
#AILADayOfAction #immigration

You don’t fix a broken system by throwing billions at abuse. Reform ICE. Rein in Border Patrol.
Enforcement without accountability isn’t law.
We can be a nation of laws and a nation of values.

At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid $0 in federal income tax for 2025. Corporate tax avoidance has increased at least in part due to President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
