Today, ICE carried out an unconstitutional raid in Newark, detaining lawful U.S. citizens, including a veteran who served our country, without a warrant. This is a flagrant violation of New Jersey's laws, our residents' rights, and the Constitution. Full statement below:

Secretary Kennedy ended a program that literally keeps the heat on for folks struggling to make ends meet. I asked him why. Here's his response:

This budget is shameful and cruel. It takes from the most vulnerable to profit the most comfortable. It will make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.

Congress should immediately return to DC, reintroduce, and pass the Thomas Massie - Ro Khanna war powers resolution. And if the Cabinet won't invoke the 25th amendment, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings. This man is unfit to serve.

That's it. It's time to use the 25th Amendment. In just 48 hours, the president has gone from threatening war crimes to threatening genocide. He is clearly unstable and must be set aside.

Spring Cleaning is in effect it seems. Sadly, Todd Blanche, Trump's personal attorney, may actually be worse. * Ordered the arrest of Mayor Baraka outside Delaney Hall * Has bungled the Epstein files * Got Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a minimum-security prison after a secretive meeting...

The national average price of gas has skyrocketed past $4 a gallon— the largest monthly jump on record. It did not have to be this way. This energy crisis is literally of Trump's own making.

The reality for women in America right now means working the same hours for a fraction of a paycheck. For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap widened.   While progress has been made in the decades since the Equal Pay Act, the fight for fairness is far from over.   #EqualPayDay

The money requested from Congress for Trump’s war in Iran could fund ACA tax credits for YEARS, but the GOP let them lapse months ago. They need to get their priorities in order. Americans are seeing their premiums skyrocketing by 114%. It’s unsustainable. #healthcareNOTwarfare

I am horrified to learn of the deaths of two pilots resulting from a jet collision at LaGuardia Airport, in addition to the 41 passengers & crew members that were injured. My prayers are with the victims & their loved ones. I hope that those injured will make a speedy recovery.

Energy policy should prioritize consumers, not producers. The #EnergyBillsReliefAct from @casten.house.gov and @levin.house.gov focuses on lowering costs, increasing reliability, and expanding access to American-made energy.
