I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham process, barely one month before an election as Americans are already casting their votes. Americans deserve a voice in this hugely consequential decision.
Judge Barrett’s views would harm real lives—real people—in real ways, from children with pre-existing conditions to women who just want to be able to decide when & how to have a family. I’m fighting for them.
Judge Barrett, like any Trump nominee, has already been vetted & screened to meet two tests: a commitment to striking down the Affordable Care Act & to overturning Roe v. Wade.
Judge Barrett has criticized past decisions protecting access to health care, shown hostility to reproductive freedoms, & expressed a willingness to overturn settled Supreme Court precedent that does not align with her extreme views.
If Judge Barrett’s views become law, hundreds of millions of Americans living w/pre-existing conditions would lose access to their health care. In the middle of a pandemic, rushing confirmation of an extreme jurist who will decimate health care is unconscionable.
I will refuse to treat this process as legitimate & will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

BREAKING: Whistleblower disclosures reveal a formal ICE policy to ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
Every American should be terrified by this secret ICE policy authorizing its agents to kick down your door & storm into your home. 1/ apnews.com/article/ice-ar…
It is an unlawful & morally repugnant policy that exemplifies the kinds of dangerous, disgraceful abuses America is seeing in real time. 2/
In our democracy, with vanishingly rare exceptions, the government is barred from breaking into your home without approval from a real judge.
Government agents have no right to ransack your bedroom or terrorize your kids on a whim or personal desire. 3/
Trump’s shadowy TikTok deal should alarm everyone, apparently keeping control of its recommendation algorithm—the crown jewel—in Beijing’s hands, while handing immense power to his political cronies & business partners. 1/ nytimes.com/2025/12/23/opi…
Rather than protect national security & privacy, the new TikTok will be run by Trump’s friends in the Ellison family & his Emirati crypto partners. 2/
More corruption on an unprecedented scale—but as chilling, creating an urgent risk that Trump’s allies turn TikTok into a megaphone for propaganda & a censorship machine. 3/
I’m demanding action from the US Postal Service to find & deliver more than 1,100 military care packages sent by Boxes to Boots. They contain holiday treats & essentials meant to brighten the season for troops serving in 13 countries around the globe.
USPS chaos & confusion, caused by contradictory interpretations of tariff codes, & other technicalities, have led to stopping & misplacing these packages. The shipping fees alone have already cost more than $7,600 & most packages undelivered.
Having spoken to Kristen Gauvin, the wonderful leader of Boxes to Boots, & a dedicated postal worker seeking to assist her, I’m writing to USPS leaders demanding they fix this problem immediately. The holidays are here.
Tonight, Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner for the top holders of his meme coin—opening the door for individuals that are competing to line his pockets to buy access to the President. Here are some of those individuals:
Justin Sun, Tron founder & HTX advisor, dropped $75M into World Liberty Financial & holds over $18M in $TRUMP, making him the guest of honor. All while Trump’s SEC pauses its probe into Sun’s fraud allegations.
“Ice” is a pseudonym for a co-founder of the Singapore-based company MemeCore. MemeCore's chief business developer said in an interview that "Ice" hopes to shape Trump's views on the crypto industry—presumably to his own advantage & gain.
Hundreds of supporters of Doctors United for Ukraine came to a candlelight concert at cavernous St. Mary’s Church in New Haven Saturday night.
Again & again they decried Putin’s bloody assault & cried out their grief for Ukraine’s suffering—its desperate need for help in a struggle for survival. Support for Ukraine is “the right thing to do”.
With tears & anxious looks, they asked repeatedly where Ukraine could go for aid if America abandoned it, as Trump threatened in his White House ambush of Zelenskyy. They talked of loved ones, family & friends injured, traumatized, & harmed beyond words.
Patel is asking for one of the most consequential jobs in law enforcement, leading a Bureau under direct attack from the person who nominated him.
We can't move forward with this nomination without a second hearing—& I'm demanding Chairman Grassley schedule one immediately. 1/
Trump is seeking to fire FBI agents for investigating crimes.
I find it nearly impossible to believe Patel knew nothing about Trump’s reported plans to mass fire FBI agents assigned to investigate Jan. 6 when he testified—despite his disingenuous protestations otherwise. 2/
I am deeply disturbed by reports that agents who investigated January 6 have been ordered to complete a questionnaire detailing their roles in those cases apparently due this afternoon—a literal political litmus test. 3/ cbsnews.com/news/fbi-quest…
