Stephen Miller belongs nowhere near the White House.

If Trump actually wants to work with us on humane immigration reform, then I look forward to seeing him sign it. If not, and the cruelty continues, Democrats will hold them accountable and show them what a real solution looks like.
The image features a Los Angeles Times article titled "Empowered congressional Democrats gear up for battles over immigration and ICE oversight." It includes a photograph of law enforcement personnel in tactical gear with "POLICE" and "ERO" on their vests. Several hands are raised in the foreground. The article discusses Rep. Jayapal's push for humane immigration reform.

Just because Republicans pulled a procedural move to stop Hegseth’s impeachment last night, it does not mean he is off the hook. We will impeach him next year.

When I said, "short rope," I meant a short window to act. I'm appalled that anyone would twist my words to evoke the very real and horrific history of lynching and racial terror against Black Americans. I condemn that violence completely and the use of its imagery to intimidate anyone.

This Veterans Day, let us take a moment to remember all those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms and values. To everyone who has served this country: Thank you.

Democrats must use our new power boldly.
News from The Seattle Times featuring two individuals seated at a table with U.S. flags in the background, labeled as "Bennie Thompson." The headline reads "Washington Democrats in Congress prepare to wield new power against Trump" with an article about immigration policies and legislative efforts.

Great news! Burien passed a 6 month moratorium on ICE detention centers. Congratulations to the grassroots organizers and the City Council for passing this unanimously and recognizing the inhumane conditions happening inside ICE detention centers.
City council members seated at a long desk in Burien, WA, raising their hands. The room has "City of Burien" displayed on the front panel of the desk. Below the image, text reads: "Good News - Grassroots Organizing Wins Moratorium on ICE Detention Centers in Burien, WA."

Q: Who else would you like to see impeached? Jayapal: The list is long. Todd Blanche is also at the top of my list. I am very deeply involved with the Epstein survivors, and I believe they deserve justice. And Todd Blanche has blocked that…

We have to hold everyone in this administration accountable for their corruption, including Attorney General Todd Blanche.

I’m so excited to stand with the largest Congressional Progressive Caucus in history. We’re fighting for Medicare for All, cracking down on corruption, and getting ICE off our streets.

Freedom of Speech is a paramount right in this country. It is wrong that Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena is reportedly blocking Macklemore’s performance. I call on Climate Pledge to make every effort to ensure Macklemore is able to perform in his own hometown arena. Seattle is better than this.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The First Amendment protects against government restrictions on speech. A private venue can choose which artists to book, including declining an artist because of the artist’s statements or political views. The Supreme Court has previously ruled on this. supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…

A committee markup on Medicare for All, an agenda that tackles corruption, and a change to our policy related to the Israeli government. These are the issues I am negotiating for.

If Todd Blanche thinks he can intimidate us, he’s dead wrong. We will get justice for survivors, DESPITE him.

Trump can’t cope with the fact that the American people rejected his war in Iran, his relationship with the Israeli government, and his corruption while working people struggle.

Jayapal on Stephen Miller: This is a giant middle finger to the voting public across the country that literally turned out in places that were so unexpected and came over and voted against Trump’s agenda. That is Stephen Miller’s agenda. He is the most hardline cheerleader that Trump has.

This vile, racist act comes weeks after a white supremacist sought to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple. We stand in solidarity with @RepJayapal & the Hindu community. This Diwali, may the light of every diya serve as a reminder that good will always triumph over evil.

I am beyond disgusted by this vile and racist display. Diwali is an important holiday and our community should feel safe to celebrate it. This hateful display has no place in our city or this country.
