@repilhan.bsky.social showed up for her community in Minneapolis for a town hall and was met with an attack. Still, she continued the event and stood strong.Β

Rep. Omar is the image of strength and resilience. This epidemic of political violence must end.

My staff has confirmed with Mohsen's team that he has been released on bail. So relieved. This is a huge win but the fight is far from over. It’s going to take all of us to demand due process for everyone.

The Origins of the Phrase β€œPull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps” The phrase β€œpull yourself up by your bootstraps” originated shortly before the turn of the 20th century. It’s attributed to a late-1800s physics schoolbook that contained the exam…

The next time someone says "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" have them go read the following. It was meant as a description of something that can't be done. #bootstraps

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Boston is vibrant, diverse, and beautiful.

And immigration is essential to our city's success.

The Speaker of the House is instructing Republicans to stop holding town halls because they can't take the heat. It truly reveals the level of contempt they have for the needs of regular people. Shameful.

3/3 This showβ€”Breaking Pointsβ€”is pretty damn woke. In fact, the whole purpose of Breaking Points is to help people to stay workβ€”to be aware of what is going on. Staying woke isn't about a specific set of solutions or beliefs, it's about keeping your eyes open and seeing that there are problems.

2/3 How about we stop using the word "woke" the way that the Rightβ€”Republicansβ€”have re-defined it? How about we use "woke" as it was intended? "Stay Woke." means keep paying attention to what is going on. How about we don't let Republicans co-opt the word "woke"?

Reparations bill returns to Congress as Trump leads charge against racial equity in government Rep. Ayanna Pressley will revive a federal reparations push at what she describes as an "inflection point" for the country.

Trump’s attacks on DEI are anti-Blackness on steroids.

But we're not backing down in our pursuit of racial justice.

Proud to re-introduce #HR40, historic legislation to confront our country’s history of systemic racism and make the case for #reparations. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

We must reopen the CFPB so it can protect consumers from crypto scammers like Donald Trump.
YouTube video by Rep. Ayanna Pressley We must reopen the CFPB so it can protect consumers from crypto scammers like Donald Trump.

On one hand, Donald Trump will steal from working class people through a crypto-scam.
Β 
On the other hand, the hardworking staff at CFPB will fight to get people their money back.
Β 
That’s why we need this essential agency to be reopened to finish its necessary work.

I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite.

I need Republicans to get right with themselves.

β€œThis is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the generations of people who stand to benefit from NIH investments in our collective public health. As a global hub for higher education and cutting-edge research, this will be especially harmful for the Massachusetts 7th and will quite literally rob people of their lives, threaten thousands of jobs, and curtail the progress we’ve made in improving health outcomes.

Trump's attack on NIH funding is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the people who depend on them.

It will gut critical research, kill jobs, and put lives at riskβ€”especially in the #MA7, a global hub for cutting-edge research.
