Republicans just rejected our measure to permanently block Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionist cop-beaters. It’s horrifying.

We subpoenaed Pam Bondi to testify under oath before the American people. Instead? Republicans let her interview behind closed doors. It’s ridiculous and it’s a cover up. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social are not backing down.

We must ensure there’s accountability not just for those who perpetrated or enabled Epstein’s crimes, but for those still engaging in this cover up.

Trump Administration officials have lied over and over again. The DOJ has been weaponized at the hands of Donald Trump. This White House cover up is egregious—but we’re not backing down.

Our @usprogressives.bsky.social’s New Affordability Agenda will make lives more affordable for working Americans across the country—that means affordable healthcare, housing, utilities, and more. We have bold policies that actually prioritize people, not profits.

🚨BIG NEWS: The House just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. This transformative bill builds on policies I implemented back home before coming to Congress—because no one should ever have to choose between keeping a roof over their head or putting food on the table.

Egregious, vast corruption. That’s what the Trump presidency is entirely about.

The events of the White House Correspondents Dinner have been made out to be many things. But one is certain—it was unsurprising.

56 26

Nearly every night, Donald Trump sends dozens of nonsensical Truth Social posts and AI slop. He’s unfit and a danger to this country and the world. I am once again calling on Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

In my home state of Arizona, the Colorado River drought is negatively impacting tribes and agricultural production that rely on water from that river.

I spent the day on the ground seeing firsthand the critical role that @valleymetro.org plays to help Phoenix residents get where they need to go, safely, affordably and reliably. Proud to have secured more than $1 million in federal funding for their Community Safety Project!

Over 1,000 girls should've been protected—but they were failed by adults, by institutions, and by their government. All this has been exacerbated by the most corrupt administration in American history carrying out the most egregious cover-up in American history.

Had a blast at Copper Star Coffee, a staple in our community celebrating 20 years in business! Honored to present the owners, Bill & Ginger Sandweg, with a recognition for the Congressional Record. Also, ate their award-winning pistachio cupcake for breakfast which made my Friday ☺️

Howard Lutnick said just last year on a podcast, that when he met Jeffrey Epstein in 2005, he was so disgusted that he’d never see him again. Yet in 2012, he went to Epstein's island.

Moments after @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social filed a resolution to hold Pam Bondi in civil contempt, Rep. James Comer announced that she’d testify in May. Pressure works. And we’re not backing down.

The Trump Admin has frozen USCIS processing for Iranian nationals, putting 12,000+ students at risk of losing legal status. Forcing them back to Iran now puts their lives at risk from regime repression and an active war. @markey.senate.gov and I are demanding immediate action.

41 19

The allegations against Rep. Cory Mills are incredibly disturbing, and I’m glad the Ethics Committee is investigating. There must always be accountability for sexual misconduct and abuse.

84 35

Pam Bondi was complicit in the most egregious cover up in American history. Now she’s breaking the law by refusing to comply with our bipartisan subpoena. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will hold her in contempt.

201 74

A year ago, @robertgarcia.house.gov, @frost.house.gov, @repdexteror.bsky.social, and I traveled to El Salvador to demand justice for Kilmar Ábrego Garcia, one of the first wrongfully deported under Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

Extractive oligarchy has captured our society and is leading us towards the brink. Taxing wealth is essential, but we must also close the loopholes that let the ultra-rich defer taxes on the wealth they hoard away. Stop the flow of dynastic wealth at its source.

79 30

Republicans have stopped holding Oversight Committee hearings to help Pam Bondi avoid accountability—enabling the most egregious cover up in American history. What a joke. Here’s what’s going on.

"Only a few words. That would be saving her life." Sonia Almaraz on what it would mean for her partner Yari, who has been wrongfully detained in Eloy Detention Center for over a year, to receive the specialized medical care that she deserves for her leukemia.

I’m so in awe of the bravery of the women who came forward. This is an important reckoning moment.

TODAY, Pam Bondi was supposed to testify under oath about her role in the Epstein Files coverup. She refused. If she continues to ignore our bipartisan subpoena, @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will move forward with contempt proceedings.

My reproductive health bills address the long-standing disparities and inequities in care, from period pain and menopause, to reproductive leave for women and men alike. Learn more about my HER Agenda ⬇️

Last weekend, I asked people if they know someone who's terrified to live in this country right now. Almost every single hand went up. I urge Congressional colleagues to sponsor my DRAIN ICE Act—to strip ICE of the $75BN that Trump and Republicans handed the agency last summer.

Even this Trump Administration can help the Iranian people by appropriating funds for direct-to-cell internet connectivity. I have a bill, the IRAN (Internet Reach and Access Now Act), that does that.

What I witnessed at the Mesa Gateway ICE holding facility was unacceptable. Detainees crammed into cells that were overcrowded at double the capacity. Sick people denied medical care. Women begging for sanitary napkins. The inhumanity is beyond the pale. Abolish ICE.

I had a heartbreaking conversation with a 25-year-old doctor in Iran. Here’s what he had to say about the war.

56 31

Last night's oversight community hearing with Rep. Adelita Grijalva shed new light on the horrific impacts of the Trump regime’s policies on Arizona families. ICE is terrorizing people on our streets and inside detention centers. We must abolish ICE and end for-profit detention centers.

247 81

Emmanuel Damas is one of 46 people who have died in ICE custody since the beginning of the second Trump Administration. What's happening inside ICE detention centers is sickening. We must continue to conduct oversight and expose them to the American people.

51 27

The Islamic Republic has murdered and terrorized its own people for decades. But this war isn't about freedom or democracy for the Iranian people. By upending the U.S. economy with an illegal war in Iran, Donald Trump is helping Big Oil and enemy regimes.

32 12

Donald Trump is a deranged authoritarian putting the entire world in danger with his reckless war.

57 24

I signed the discharge petition to separate ICE from DHS funding so TSA workers can get paid. Now we just need a few Republicans to grow a backbone and sign it so we can force a vote. Get ICE out of our airports and our communities.

80 22

Prediction markets let people bet on wars & elections. Kalshi wants to “financialize everything.” People with sensitive info are profiting from crises. Humanity is being commodified. That’s why I’m introducing the BETS OFF Act with @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @repcasar.bsky.social, & @amo.house.gov.

74 25

This past Friday, I heard from Arizonans who spoke out on rising costs and cruel Trump Administration policies hurting them. While billions go to ICE, they’re losing healthcare and struggling to afford groceries. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and hold this administration accountable.

59 24

This is the most egregious cover up in American history. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will not back down until there’s full accountability and justice for the every single survivor.

318 96

I introduced legislation to help Iranians stay connected through direct-to-cell technology when those shutdowns happen. There are tangible steps the U.S. can take to ensure people can communicate with the outside world. This is a practical, immediate way we can support the Iranian people.

26 11

AG Pam Bondi defied a subpoena to release the full and unredacted Epstein Files, ignored the law, and misled Congress under oath. She’s at the center of Trump’s Epstein cover-up. That’s why I’ve joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social to introduce Articles of Impeachment. No one is above the law.
