That’s what our bipartisan Dignity Act does. It invests in border security, gives long-settled immigrants a fair path to earn legal status, and frees up enforcement to focus on real threats. I won’t stop fighting until we pass the Dignity Act and end this chaos in our communities.

Rather than focusing on the violent criminals Trump promised to target, the agency keeps pursuing working people, parents, and neighbors who have lived here for decades. America can secure our border, protect our citizens, and treat people with basic human dignity all at once.

We all want a safe country and a secure border. But Stephen Miller and President Trump’s reckless, quota-driven enforcement won’t get us there. This year ICE has detained more than 500 American citizens, many of whom carried proof of their citizenship.

@mikelevin.orgOct 10, 2026, 7:45 PM

“Go after anybody.” That’s reportedly the order ICE officers were given as they launched a 45-day surge across California, starting in our backyard.

There are much better ways to bring energy costs down.

I think most Americans want not only lower prices but also a world where dictators pay a price for invading their neighbors.

The benefit is also tiny for American consumers. Energy analysts say the promised shipments are a small fraction of global demand, and some doubt Russia can deliver at all after Ukrainian strikes crippled its refineries.

So let’s get this straight. Taxpayer money will be sent to Moscow to will help pay for the missiles and drones that kill Ukrainian families. Zelensky warned today that this deal strengthens Putin’s war machine, and he is right.

@mikelevin.orgOct 10, 2026, 3:41 PM

This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.

Welcome home, USS Abraham Lincoln. Today San Diego gets its Marines and Sailors back, and I could not be happier for them and for the families who have waited so long for this day.

Our service members deserve a clear mission, an honest accounting, and a plan that keeps America strong where it matters most. That starts at the top.

We must keep demanding answers.

He also warns that our focus on the Middle East is pulling attention from China, which he calls our greatest adversary and which has carried out the largest military buildup in history.

Mark Esper, who served as Defense Secretary in President Trump's first term, now says this war could run well into 2027 and may be handed to the next administration in 2029.

@mikelevin.orgOct 8, 2026, 4:08 PM

And it goes far beyond the conditions on the ship. What is the mission? How will success be measured?

@mikelevin.orgOct 8, 2026, 4:08 PM

Now Hegseth claims those calling out the conditions on the Lincoln are trying to turn it "into some sort of a symbol, a symbol of dysfunction or a symbol of low morale or a symbol of a failed mission." Wrong. The only symbol on that ship is courage. Our questions are for him and those in charge.

@mikelevin.orgOct 8, 2026, 4:08 PM

Those families spent months raising the alarm about food shortages, broken plumbing, contaminated water and sailors going overboard. Pete Hegseth brushed them off as fake news.

Pete Hegseth says he's fired 10% of our generals and admirals and is cutting 10% more of their positions, in the middle of a war. Lincoln and Truman fired generals for reasons the whole country could see. These firings come with none. Congress must demand answers.

It invests in border security, gives long-settled immigrants a tough but fair path to earn legal status, and frees enforcement to focus on real threats. I won’t stop until we get it done.

The Constitution protects all of us, and when those protections erode for some, they erode for everyone. We must secure our border while still treating people with basic dignity. That's exactly what our bipartisan Dignity Act does.

A Trump voter in North Carolina was pulled from his truck and pinned to the pavement even after proving his citizenship. His daughter now carries her passport to college.
