ICE murdered Renee Good just blocks away from where police murdered George Floyd. @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I are introducing the Qualified Immunity Abolition Act to hold ICE agents and all federal law enforcement officers accountable. We need justice. Abolish qualified immunity now.
ABOLISH QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NOW
Trump isn’t lowering your bills—he’s boosting polluters’ profits. His reckless invasion of Venezuela is just the latest example of his America Last, Big Oil First agenda—and he’s going to continue selling us out unless we stop him.
Under Trump, U.S. Adds Fuel to a Heating Planet
The president's embrace of fossil fuels and withdrawal from the global fight against climate change will make it hard to keep warming at safe levels, scientists said.
Trump’s attempt to bully the Fed with a bogus, political prosecution threatens our economy and the rule of law. Enough. I urge my Republican colleagues to grow a spine and condemn this madness.
Trump team ramps up attack on Fed's Powell with criminal indictment threat

RFK Jr.’s ‘Make America Sick Agenda’ is damaging our public health infrastructure—and health workers are bearing the brunt of this crisis. The Public Health Nursing Act will help us build healthier communities by supporting nurses and bolstering our public health system.
The Trump administration’s plans to seize and sell Venezuelan oil are an invitation to corruption and cronyism. There is no legal or moral authority for Trump’s oil imperialism. Secretary Wright owes Congress and the American people answers. Who will foot the bill for Trump’s slippery scheme?
The House just passed Democrats’ bill to extend ACA tax credits for three more years. The Senate must take up this bill immediately to lower health care costs for the millions of Americans who saw their premiums skyrocket this year.
Trump took military action against Venezuela without Congress’s consent. That is unconstitutional. The Senate spoke: this must stop now. If force is truly necessary, Trump must go to Congress and make the case to the American people—not launch reckless wars for oil. youtube.com/shorts/t1OgS...
A horrific act of gun violence took six innocent lives and wounded @gabbygiffords.bsky.social 15 years ago. We honor those we lost and uplift powerful voices like Gabby’s for change. Her courage inspires me every day and I’m proud to fight alongside her and millions of Americans to end gun violence.
I just voted to move forward @kaine.senate.gov resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war in Venezuela. Republicans blocked it in November, but the truth is out. It’s Venezuela today and it could be Cuba or Greenland tomorrow. We must draw the line. No more wars for oil. youtube.com/shorts/9Vvzi...
I am sending my prayers and deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Uxbridge Police Officer Stephen LaPorta, who was tragically killed while responding to a vehicle crash yesterday morning. Officer LaPorta’s sacrifice and his legacy of service in his community will not be forgotten.

Donald Trump's decision to leave the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change does nothing to lower costs for Americans. Climate change isn't just dangerous—it's expensive. Not to mention this further erodes US leadership in the midst of an illegal war for oil in Venezuela.
This briefing left us with more questions than answers—the only answer we have is one they didn’t give us. Why invade Venezuela? It’s all for Big Oil’s private profit. Americans are paying for the foreseeable future for this Admin to do oil companies’ dirty work.
