Democratic Party representatives are preparing a bill to strip ICE agent immunity, making convictions easier in future.

Congressman Eric Swalwell and congressman Dan Goldman confirmed they would work on a bill to prevent "mother-murdering thugs" from continuing with their controversial immigration order. Speaking to The New Republic, Swalwell denounced Donald Trump and the ICE agents' aims.

He said, "Donald Trump has sent these mother-murdering thugs into our community. And of course this is what was gonna happen because it started with putting ICE in the streets and then deporting a six-year-old, stage 4 cancer victim, U.S. citizen, dragging women by their hair. Those apparently were the lucky ones when you look at what happened to Ms. Good."...

A House Judiciary Committee member accused President Donald Trump on Tuesday of "shaking down" his own government and called on GOP lawmakers to stand up.

Trump reportedly demanded that his Justice Department pay him $230 million in taxpayer dollars as compensation for past actions that he disagreed with. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) shared his reaction to Trump's latest move with CNN anchor Kasie Hunt.

"We are combining the weaponization of the Department of Justice by him putting his political lackeys there — with his grift and corruption — to make money off of the presidency. It is completely absurd. Donald Trump would have been convicted at trial in both of those cases. The only reason they went away is because he won the election, and a president cannot be tried," Goldman said....

President Donald Trump's speech to hundreds of the US' top generals on Tuesday hinted at plans to cancel the 2028 election, according to Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman of New York.

In an appearance on The Jim Acosta Show on Tuesday, Goldman said the speech appeared to be preparing the ground for an authoritarian power grab.

"It’s also, I think, really dangerous because it is trying to manufacture a crisis so that Donald Trump can continue to take more and more authoritarian actions and so that he can usurp more and power," said Goldman. ...

Influential Republican Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) has joined with Democrats to oppose the Trump administration's threat to cut $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, according to Politico.

The proposed cuts are part of a recissions package introduced last week by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) "to cut $9.4 billion previously greenlit by Congress, mainly for foreign aid," the report stated.

Reporter Calen Razor called Amodei's opposition "a potential problem for GOP leaders who need near-unity within their party to pass the White House’s request that Congress revoke billions of dollars it has already approved" for the funding arm of PBS and NPR....

Donald Trump on Friday was called out for being a purported fraud when a Democratic lawmaker responded to reports that the ex-president had paid around $20,000 in order to host a pretend union rally at a plant that is not unionized.

Rep. Daniel Goldman was responding to a report flagged by former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski, who claimed that the former president's campaign had paid "$20k to fake a union rally."

Goldman responded to that story, elaborating to his supporters exactly what this means for the ex-president....

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) plans to introduce a formal resolution censuring Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for pushing voter fraud conspiracy theories linked to Jan. 6, 2021, he announced Wednesday in a press release.

"Congresswoman Stefanik’s persistent and continued support for the perpetrators of an insurrection is contemptuous,” Congressman Dan Goldman said. “In putting her personal ambitions over her integrity, Congresswoman Stefanik has been Donald Trump’s biggest congressional cheerleader, even though our mutual home state of New York overwhelmingly opposes him."
