This week, we will again demand a vote on a War Powers Resolution to force President Trump to come to Congress to obtain authorization for the use of military force in Iran.

After casting a mail-in ballot himself last week, President Trump continues to propagate disinformation and flat-out lies about election fraud in a shameless attempt to restrict the constitutional right to vote of every American.

His executive order to disenfranchise American voters through federal control of elections is patently unlawful, and we will fight it in court – where state and federal judges nationwide have already dismissed, over lack of evidence, more than 60 cases brought by President Trump and his associates to challenge the integrity of American elections.

I will continue to deny new funding for ICE until President Trump and the Congressional Republican Leadership agree to enact common sense reforms to ensure that the agency is fully transparent and accountable to the American people. youtu.be/yPzw80Hu_TU

Electricity rates are soaring across the country and American families are paying far too much for their electricity. That’s why I support the #EnergyBillsReliefAct to lower costs by expanding access to affordable & reliable clean energy.

Given that she has repeatedly given untruthful statements on the Epstein case and continually obstructed our investigation, she needs to comply with our bipartisan subpoena and testify under oath.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch@lynch.house.govMar 23(source)

During her closed-door “briefing” to Oversight Committee Members, the Attorney General could not explain why her Justice Department has failed to pursue a case against Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“It’s because of the repeated lying that we’ve got to get her under oath...I do not believe she will tell the truth.” Rep. @lynch.house.gov on why the Oversight committee is seeking a sworn testimony from Pam Bondi on the Epstein files.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch@lynch.house.govMar 23(source)

There has been no clear evidence from the intelligence community that Iran presented an imminent threat to the United States. The Trump Administration is spending roughly $1 billion dollars a day in this conflict, funding which could have been used here at home.

MA-08 residents in the Middle East: please know my office is here to help you. Please follow the steps above and call my office at 617-428-2000.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch@lynch.house.govMar 5(source)

At Oversight Committee today, I voted YES on a motion to subpoena Attorney General Bondi that passed and will force her to answer our questions about the Department of Justice’s mishandling of the Epstein case.
