Republicans are weaponizing Kayla Hamilton’s tragic death to push through more cruel immigration policies that will further traumatize families.

This bill does nothing to prevent child trafficking. It just promotes family separation.

Trump’s secret police are abducting U.S. citizens and Green Card holders — just because of how they look, what language they speak, or where they hang out.

They are racially profiling people, ignoring the Constitution, and breaking the law.

What a vile and self-obsessed post. The American people deserve so much better.

Every single Republican must condemn this remarkably cruel and unacceptable diatribe from Trump.

In 2025, my office answered thousands of letters and phone calls, saved millions of dollars, and completed important casework requests for constituents.

We are always here to help you!

The deadline for the Trump administration to release the full Epstein Files is this Friday.

No more protecting rich pedophiles or enablers. No more lying and hiding the truth from the American people. Make everything public.

As Republicans refuse to hold town halls, it was my honor to show up in PA this weekend.

Trump and Republicans are ignoring skyrocketing costs and passing tax cuts for billionaires. Democrats are fighting to make life better for people — in red and blue districts.

The United States is the only developed country in the world where mass shootings continue to be a constant problem.

Republicans need to finally stand up to the gun lobby and join Democrats to pass real gun safety reforms that can save countless lives.

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

Wishing you a meaningful and beautiful Festival of Lights.

The UAE is funneling weapons into Sudan’s brutal civil war — yet the Trump administration went around Congress to sell $1.4 billion in helicopters and fighter jets to the country.

We cannot continue indirectly contributing to this genocide. These arms sales must end.

Republicans, time and time again, are voting for policies that will hurt their constituents — whether it’s slashing Medicaid or refusing to extend the ACA subsidies.

It’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to grow a spine and stand up for the American people.

Trump’s tariffs on India aren’t only raising prices for Americans — they are pushing India away as a trading ally and giving the country more incentive to partner with Russia and China.

That hurts our economy and makes us all less safe.
December 14, 2025 at 4:50 PM
It is so wrong that these mass shootings continue to happen.

My heart is with the entire Brown community and all those affected, and this should do more than break our hearts. It should move us to action to enact real gun safety reforms.

Republicans are selling out working people — spending on tax cuts for billionaires and ballooning ICE’s budget. All while American families struggle to keep food on the table.
December 13, 2025 at 8:43 PM
I’m grateful to have partners like Heidi Altman and @nilc.org in the fight to defend immigrants from ICE and the Trump administration.

We will keep fighting for a system that greets immigrants and asylum seekers with community support, not handcuffs.

As the top Democrat on the House Immigration Subcommittee, if Republicans refuse to conduct oversight of Trump’s illegal immigration actions, I will.

I’ve held shadow hearings both in DC and across America, hearing horrifying stories from dozens of people — and I won’t stop.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act prohibits the targeting of U.S. persons — yet millions of Americans have had their privacy violated under this statute.

We need to do more to protect ALL individuals in the United States from warrantless government spying.

Sudan is the site of the worst humanitarian crisis we have ever seen.

More than 30 million people are in dire need of assistance. The United States must begin acting with urgency to stop the bloodshed, get aid into the country, and save countless lives.
December 12, 2025 at 8:20 PM
NEW: The admin has approved @governorferguson.bsky.social request for an emergency declaration, meaning WA will have more federal resources as we respond to and recover from devastating storms and floods.

I will continue working with national and local partners to help folks across our state.

Trump tries to ban state AI laws, more deaths in ICE custody, Americans want ACA tax credits extended, and the fight to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

Here are three bad things and three good things you need to know to stay engaged and resisting!

These images are repulsive. The Trump administration needs to stop their cover-up and release ALL of the Epstein Files.
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

Uber, Lyft, and other app-based corporations can take up to 70% of a ride’s cost for their own profit, leaving drivers with next to nothing.

They’re ripping off employees and price-gouging consumers — all while raking in billions. I’m introducing a bill to fix this broken system.

As Trump and RFK Jr. push deadly anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, measles is making a comeback across America.

People will die because of this. Trump’s administration must stop lying and follow the science. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
