This is a direct assault on the rights of federal workers. Did you know that over 80% of them work outside of the DC area, supporting communities nationwide?
So instead of stripping their rights, let’s thank them for their service to our country. And you can count on House Dems to stand with them.

This can’t be what we stand for as a country and it is something as a representative of a proud immigrant community that I will always fight against. ✊
And here’s the thing: when Trump talks about mass deportations, this is what he means. Taking people in the middle of the night who have a RIGHT to be here and trying to remove them to foreign countries.
Our dedicated caseworkers have worked nonstop with this woman’s family, her attorney, ICE, and Mexican officials to prevent her illegal deportation. And we’ll continue until her rights are upheld.
When she courageously pleaded her case, the Mexican government rightly told ICE that they would not accept her. Now, she’s back in Texas, and her family and loved ones are concerned for her wellbeing.
In the middle of the night, she was loaded on a bus in TX and driven across the border to MEXICO - a country she has no ties to. She alleges that ICE officials threatened her with violence if she did not sign a voluntary departure form.
This constituent, a victim of unspeakable torture and abuse in Colombia, had been granted legal protections under the Convention Against Torture, meaning that she couldn’t be sent back to her home country.
Last night, ICE attempted to deport a constituent who had been granted legal protections against removal. This is an egregious and illegal overstep by ICE. Here’s what happened, and why it matters 🧵
Strongest signal that Trump doesn’t believe Johnson can hold the Republicans’ slight majority and divided conference together. Sending in reinforcements to keep the faint hope of reconciliation alive. The problem? GOP’s proposals like cutting healthcare are unpopular no matter who is in charge.
Commercial refrigerators or affordable childcare?
Walk-in freezers or affordable housing?
The difference in priorities between Republicans and Democrats couldn’t be starker.
So I went to the House Floor to talk about it 👇
Equal work deserves equal pay, full stop.
On #EqualPayDay, I'm proud to join the fight with @delauro.house.gov and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to finally pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Today on @energycommerce.bsky.social, we tackled rising energy costs, safeguarding the IRA and the challenges we're facing in strengthening our energy infrastructure. One thing that's not helping? President Trump's disruptive approach to governing. Watch 👇
I went to the House Floor to speak about the GOP’s dangerous attack on our judiciary. Watch 👇
Concerned about this mishandling of classified info? Me too. Important thread from @slotkin.senate.gov below 👇
Bottom line: don’t buy Trump and the GOP’s BS. The courts are an essential check on power - even when we disagree with their rulings. What Trump is doing is NOT normal and we will not treat it as such. We will keep the guardrails on and fight against every attempt to dismantle them.
So what has changed? The Republican Party is COMPLETELY beholden to Trump and his attempt to upend the rule of law. That’s why Republicans are threatening the impeachment of judges. But we won’t stand for it.
To be clear, BOTH Dem and GOP AGs have taken administrations of the opposite party to court. That’s ok - see separation of powers point above. And don’t like a decision? You can appeal it.
Texas AG Paxton even “celebrated” having filed his 100th lawsuit against the Biden Administration. Sen. Cruz said of GOP AGs “their work is important and much needed."
Here’s the hypocrisy: by the end of Biden’s term, his Administration had faced 133 multi-state lawsuits filed by GOP Attorneys General.
And while Trump has repeatedly attacked federal judges who ruled against him, calling for their impeachment is unprecedented and EXTREMELY dangerous.
