I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

A letter to the director of the CIA from Senator Ron Wyden saying he has sent a classified letter that expressed concerns.

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

The Roberts Court just created second-class citizenship, the latest horror from a majority hell-bent on rolling back Reconstruction. The next Democratic administration must expand and reform the Court to save our democracy. I have the comprehensive bill to do it.

Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty?

Ferguson: Yes

Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview.

Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking.
