I’m skipping the State of the Union. I won’t normalize Trump’s corrupt, authoritarian regime.

Instead, I’ll be joined by Sonia, whose loved one Yari has been detained by ICE for a year.

Les Wexner says he wasn’t close to Epstein, but their deep financial ties say otherwise.

And the DOJ and FBI still haven’t contacted him. Why?

We need to end the cover-up and hold perpetrators accountable.

Les Wexner financed Jeffrey Epstein’s life for decades and when I asked if he’d been to his island, he said yes. Yet he denies having a “personal relationship” with Epstein or knowledge of wrongdoing.

Wexner was under oath today and we won’t stop pushing until we get the truth.

In the fight for racial justice and civil rights in America, Jesse Jackson led without fear and with the utmost hope and courage. This Black History Month, Jackson's legacy serves as an inspiration to all of us. His work and his voice will be deeply missed.

If anyone said something this vile in any workplace, they’d be fired.

Rep. Randy Fine has repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence. It’s unacceptable.

Speaker Johnson should reprimand him immediately. And if Fine cannot meet the most basic standard of human dignity, he should resign.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have stained America’s credibility. ICE is a lawless agency that must be abolished.

The next Democratic president must act to restore the U.S. as a nation that delivers for its people and stands as a respected partner on the world stage.

PT. 2: Young people are demanding bold changes that will concretely impact our lives. From housing affordability to the future of work, we need to act decisively to deliver and earn the support of the next generation.

PT. 1: Young people in the U.S. care deeply about how foreign policy shapes their lives, from climate to housing to AI.

At the Munich Security Conference, I shared how, as the youngest woman in Congress, I’m working to deliver the transformational change our generation demands.

Since Donald Trump took office, we’ve seen relentless cruel, un-American attacks on immigrants, and that includes Dreamers. 🦋

Here's a helpful guide for DACA recipients about renewal and please know that our office is always ready to help you with this process ⬇️

Headed into DOJ now to review the unredacted Epstein Files.

After yesterday’s disgraceful performance by Pam Bondi, it’s more important than ever that we double down. We’re going to see the documents ourselves and keep fighting for justice for Epstein’s victims.

When Trump assigns Secretary Marco Rubio to other federal roles, he blurs the line between oversight and those being overseen—compromising agency independence.

Today, I introduced a bill to prohibit senior federal officials from carrying out the duties of multiple federal positions.

I continue to stand with the brave survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in demanding that the Trump DOJ release ALL the Epstein Files and hold every perpetrator accountable for their heinous crimes.

We won’t stop until there’s justice.

Members of Congress from across the country—and across the political spectrum—are joining me to drain ICE, end inhumane detention, and expose the true cost of mass deportation.

It’s time to end the abuse and hold ICE accountable.

The raids Trump’s ICE is carrying out are straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Arizona deserves better. We want ICE OUT.

Congress must pass my DRAIN ICE Act to rescind the $75 billion slush fund Republicans handed them in the Big Ugly Bill, & stop bankrolling this racist paramilitary force.

🚨 I just introduced my DRAIN ICE legislation package to repeal the tens of billions Trump and Republicans handed ICE last summer, force accountability for deadly detention center conditions, and save lives now. I’m urging my colleagues to sign on.

Despite Trump’s claims that arrests and executions have stopped, the murderous Islamic Republic continues its brutality. The people of Iran are not bargaining chips. We must hold the regime accountable for its heinous crimes.

I was proud to join Rep. Adelita Grijalva in announcing more than $2.1M in federal funding the City of Tolleson. Although Trump and Republicans tried to cut investments like this one, these federal dollars will support critical infrastructure, public health, safety, and long-term growth.

ICE activity continues to ramp up and the fear they're using as a weapon is already hurting our communities. Change happens when we work in partnership, & I’m deeply grateful for our local Phoenix faith leaders who are essential partners in shaping a future where people feel safe, seen, & supported.

Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor's appointment when she was violently detained by ICE. She’s a U.S. citizen with a disability.

Listen to her powerful testimony.

I was outside ICE HQ to tell Kristi Noem exactly what people feel: we want her out, and we want ICE out.

Donald Trump’s personal paramilitary force is terrorizing communities like mine across the country. This is authoritarianism—and I won’t rest until we stop it.

Arresting journalists is a five-alarm fire as the authoritarian takeover of our country accelerates. Pam Bondi must answer for it. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding action. We have to use every lever we have, including DHS funding, as Trump and Republicans shred the Constitution.

ICE is terrorizing our communities.

Families are too afraid to worship, go to school, and leave their homes. That’s not public safety. It’s fear by design.

Kristi Noem needs to be impeached. ICE’s slush fund must be eliminated.

Pam Bondi is still withholding 50% of the Epstein Files. She should be held in contempt for breaking the law.

I once again join @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social in demanding the DOJ release the ALL files so we can hold pedophiles accountable, & finally bring justice to the abused women & girls.

It is long past time for the entire world to recognize what is obviously true: the IRGC is a terrorist organization committing atrocities against both the Iranian people and around the globe. Now that France has acknowledged it, I hope the EU will swiftly follow through with an official designation.

I’m grateful that @repilhan.bsky.social is safe. Political violence is never acceptable. Donald Trump has repeatedly incited this kind of hate through his nonstop attacks on her. Ilhan’s strength and resilience are inspiring, and I’m honored to serve with her.

Republicans are choosing a government shutdown over funding healthcare or housing, all to defend an agency that is literally killing its own people.

This is state sponsored violence. Impeach Kristi Noem. ICE out of Arizona.
