@oversightdemocrats.house.gov are committed to transparency for the American people & justice for the survivors & victims of Epstein's abuse. These disturbing images of his island are another critical piece of the story.

The DOJ must comply with our subpoena & release the remaining files.

This is disgusting. Trump continues to put a target on @repilhan.bsky.social, her family, and her community with his violent, xenophobic rhetoric.

A lawmaker in her home state of Minnesota was killed this year in an act of political violence. That alone should unite us against this hate speech.

I'm proud to join @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @jayapal.house.gov, and @pressley.house.gov in reintroducing the AI Civil Rights Act to make sure AI is fair and accountable to the people.

The harm caused by bias in AI isn't some far off idea. It's happening right now, and Black, brown, and working-class communities are feeling the impact.

If there's one lesson Democrats need to learn, that we should've learned before an authoritarian regime took over, it's this.

American 16-year-old freed after nine months in Israeli jail Mohammed Zaber Ibrahim was arrested in the West Bank as a 15-year-old and charged with throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles — an allegation he denies.

Mohammed has finally been released after his unjust imprisonment by the Israeli military. Like many Palestinian children, he was wrongly detained.

Praying for his healing as he reunites with his family.

Trump says he wants to 'permanently pause' migration to the US from poorer countries President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status...

The shooting of two National Guard members is horrible. Keeping them and their loved ones in my prayers during this tragedy.

Gun violence is never the answer, and fueling anti-immigrant sentiment is also not the answer.

Both things can be true at once. apnews.com/article/trum...

Getting money out of politics should be a priority for every political party. We cannot have a healthy, functioning, and strong democracy without addressing it.

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and community for many, but it’s also a reminder of stolen land and broken treaties for others.

As we give thanks today, let’s also honor Indigenous communities by committing to the fight for sovereignty, justice, and freedom.

As someone paying off student loan debt myself, I'm sick and tired of Republicans proposing education policies that fall short and don't meet the moment

Other countries have developed solutions like free public college. We're the wealthiest nation in the world––why haven't we?

The real divide right now is between the working class and the oligarchy that would rather exploit us for profit than make sure folks get the resources they need.

We must stay focused and united.

Solidarity is the most powerful tool we have in the face of authoritarianism.

It's on all of us to stand with each other, stand up for each other, and refuse to accept the fear and division the White House is trying to exploit and use against us.

So grateful to join The People's Hearing in Pittsburgh led by the People's Environmental Justice Advisory Council to share testimony and hear from community members about the environmental harms we face and solutions led by the people.

I'm committed to bringing your priorities to Congress.

It's hypocritical that Republicans are holding hearings about strengthening students' skills while they allow the Trump admin to dismantle the Dept. of Education—the sole agency tasked with expanding these same students' opportunities.

And it's always marginalized students who suffer the most.

A photo of Rep. Summer Lee. An Associated Press headline reads "Democratic congresswoman questions Justice Department about dropped charges on Trump donors and allies."

Text of article

The Department of Justice has dropped a number of criminal charges against corporations that are Trump donors.

I demanded answers from the DOJ on this failure and potential corruption. No one is above the law, regardless of how many resources or how much money they have.

No good has come from attacking any marginalized community.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, we honor our trans siblings and loved ones lost to violence and bigotry. We stand with you and will keep fighting for you.

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Republicans are moving forward with anti-worker bills with deceptive names that would give more handouts to corporations and embolden companies to exploit underpaid employees.

I will be voting against advancing them all. Our people deserve better.

Political violence is on the rise and the president is calling for the death of Members of Congress.

This is the same person who has already incited a violent insurrection on the Capitol because of his rhetoric and lies. We cannot accept or normalize this.

One Of Biden’s Pro-Worker Reforms Has Vanished Under Trump Lawmakers are pressing Trump appointees on why they’ve rolled back guardrails against exploitative work contracts.

Workers deserve protection from coercive employment practices that trap them in jobs & force them into debt so corporations can line their pockets.

@markey.senate.gov and I wrote to multiple federal agencies to demand answers on what they're doing to protect workers & combat stay-or-pay agreements.

Pittsburgh, I'm joining an important convening of community changemakers where we'll share testimony on environmental and economic threats, engage with national leaders to build powerful policies, and secure a cleaner, healthier, more vibrant future for our region.

America is watching. Now release the files.

After a record-breaking government shutdown that they caused, Trump & Republicans want to spend time micromanaging DC instead of representing their constituents.

If Trump wanted to run DC, he should resign & run for mayor.

I testified in the House Rules Committee to make it clear: hands off DC.

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing The de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of a Washington Post columnist. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are nearing a high point.

Corruption. Human rights abuses. Butchering an American journalist.

There are so many things wrong with inviting MBS to the White House, let alone selling him weapons and throwing parties. Looks like the billions invested from Saudi’s Public Investment Fund into the Trumps bought them a president.

Tlaib Introduces Resolution Recognizing the Genocide of the Palestinian People in Gaza WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), alongside 20 other Members of Congress, introduced H.Res.876 – Recognizing the Genocide of the Palestinian People in Gaza. This resolutio...

Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and it is time for the United States to officially recognize that and put an end to it.

Co-sponsoring this resolution is the bare minimum.

Now, the Senate must take up this bill and it must be signed into law. No matter how wealthy or well-connected, every person who is complicit, enabled, or abused women and girls will be brought to justice.

Let’s not forget: The DOJ is already compelled to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee because of my motion to subpoena, and they have slow-walked their release for months. Trump also has the power to compel the DOJ to release the files immediately and has failed to do so.

Today’s passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act puts every Representative on record and brings us one step further to providing justice and transparency for the survivors and the American people. It is a testament to the power of the people who pressured their government to take action. 🧵
