ICE used to have five months of training, but they've shortened it now to 47 days. The number 47 was picked because President Trump is the 47th president.

President Trump is taking us down an authoritarian path.

Anyone who tells you we should scrap certain types of energy because it’s “woke” doesn’t actually give a crap about your costs.

Fighting for people’s health care, especially when some face 600% increases, is something I am insistent on.

President Trump said he was going to put more money in your pocket. But can anyone name a single place where your costs have gone down, not up, since January?

They didn’t want to say it out loud: that in order to pay for permanent tax cuts for the wealthy, they had to cut health care for Americans.

We want to declassify the full breadth of the 9/11 documents because we lost almost 3000 Americans. It kicked off wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe it to those lost and to the American people to release the entirety of these files.

Congress should hold tech companies accountable.

If you commit a criminal act or use taxpayer dollars in a way that violates the law, you should be held accountable. President Trump and his allies have used manufactured outrage about what I said because they wanna talk about anything but what's going on right now in places like Michigan.

How do authoritarian tactics work? The goal is to create so many threats against you, your family, and your staff that you shut up. They wanna manufacture outrage. They all start repeating the same talking points. The goal is to crush your spirit. That fear becomes contagious. We can't let it.

Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.

When you call out their corruption, President Trump and his allies don't like that. They attack you. They intimidate you. It's not going to work, because I believe this is simple. If you break the law, you should be held accountable.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

How is manufacturing doing? Well, Michigan has lost 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the year and a half since President Trump took office. President Trump’s economic policies are certainly contributing to the loss of these manufacturing jobs. I break it down.

The Trump Administration is like a child who gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

President Trump has always had a bromance with Vladimir Putin, and it’s clear he wants him to win this winter in Ukraine. So now he's lifting sanctions to help fuel Vladimir Putin and his war machine.

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November. Here's why.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response.

If a global company is paying its workers so little that they need federal benefits, that company should lose eligibility for tax incentives.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Allowing Chinese cars into the United States with full motion video, geolocation and the ability to be hacked via Bluetooth is a threat to our national security and our economic security.

President Trump has taken the presidential pardon to a completely new place. He has developed a bit of a marketplace for convicted felons to get a presidential pardon. We should ban the presidential pardon. It should not be available to any president under any circumstances.
