@replamonica.bsky.social came to Congress to fight for the people she represents, and that's exactly what she has done even while Republicans try to silence her.

McIver's case will be an important test of what, if any, guardrails remain to prevent the Trump administration from siccing a pack of Justice Department lawyers on anyone with the temerity to question his administration’s authority. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Before House Republicans passed the OBBB, healthcare providers and patients were sounding the alarms on the harm the bill would cause. We listened, we voted against it. House Republicans? Not so much. Watch below and click the link in our bio to listen to the full episode.

DOGE has proven time & again that they can’t be trusted with our data—that’s why we’re keeping up the fight.

On @energycommerce.bsky.social, we’ve been working to safeguard these systems from foreign & domestic threats, but the GOP has turned a blind eye refusing to take an interest or conduct any oversight.

We’ve been sounding the alarm since Elon Musk & DOGE first put sensitive taxpayer data at risk. Now they’ve uploaded the entire Social Security database onto an unsecured cloud.

We cannot repeat some of our country's darkest mistakes and we all must hold this Administration accountable.

The Trump Administration is spending $1.2 billion to turn a WWII internment site into the nation’s largest ICE detention facility. It’s the same cruelty that Japanese Americans faced, just under a new brand. Our country—and everyone who calls it home—deserves better.

Stewards of Japanese American history are calling out the use of Fort Bliss to detain immigrants.

Great to have Governor Murphy in the fight to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities. In Congress, I’m leading a bipartisan effort to take on this issue, whether it’s banning non-essential helicopters or exploring other ways to mitigate their impact on our residents.

My @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I will never back down especially when ICE continues to target our communities. The law is clear: we have a right to conduct oversight at ICE detention centers, and any effort to block that right is illegal.
