Pam Bondi obstructed the release of the Epstein files, violated the law, & denied transparency to the public and survivors. The cover up continued today with Bondi’s closed-door deposition because this White House is afraid of the truth coming out. All to protect Donald Trump, not survivors.
Donald Trump wants every federal worker to sign an NDA. Because he knows his Administration is breaking the law repeatedly & he’s afraid of whistleblowers telling the American people the truth. To our whistleblowers: don’t forget you’re protected under federal law.
The Trump administration is proposing a rule to require federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to a draft notice the Office of Personnel Management posted.
This cruel and unnecessary change is designed to uproot students, workers, and families who contribute to our communities and have waited years for their green card. Trump’s USCIS is trying to destroy pathways to legal immigration—but we will continue to fight back.
A tweet by USCIS that reads:

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept.
Trump and Republicans want to take America back to pre-Reconstruction. They want to silence Black votes, restrict our fundamental freedoms, and dilute our representation. But we’ll continue to organize, mobilize, fight, and vote for our full rights and citizenship.
Donald Trump's reckless economic policies and targeting of Black workers are crushing Black America. And the harm is coming for everyone. Congress must advance policies that protect civil rights, expand opportunities for all, and make the economy work for everyone in America.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley and the Color Of Change hold a press conference with advocates to sound the alarm on the state of the Black economy and the harmful impact of Trump and Republicans’ agenda on Black communities.

Felicidades to Vanessa & Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción on the official opening of La CASA. This is now the largest Latino cultural center in New England, and it gets to call the #MA7 home. It was a joy to tour the facility and meet the staff alongside @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.

Memorial Day is a day of reflection and remembrance for those who never returned home. To our fallen servicemembers, Gold Star families, and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
Control of the Women's History Museum belongs to the women who built this country — NOT Donald Trump and his political allies. We'll keep fighting to honor women's history and pass legislation to establish this museum without any harmful Republican amendments.
Devastated by the loss of Boston firefighter Robert Kilduff Jr. in Dorchester last night. Bobby paid the ultimate sacrifice while saving the lives of others, and our city will always be grateful. I'm praying for his family, loved ones, and the Boston Fire Department community.
Our Haitian TPS holders play an essential role to our care economy and communities writ-large. Our report makes that plain and it's a reminder of why we must extend TPS for Haiti, protect our seniors, & do right by this essential workforce.
The Trump administration’s efforts to revoke humanitarian protections for Haitians would significantly exacerbate nationwide healthcare worker shortages, limit available health care services, and endanger patients, according to a new Mass. report.
Trump claims we don't have money for day care, Medicare or Medicaid because we're busy fighting wars abroad. But he somehow found $1.8 BILLION to reward the white supremacists who attacked our government on January 6? That is a policy CHOICE.
Andrew Joseph Jr. was a father, husband, advocate, and a good man. He will always be remembered for his dedication to uplifting community and turning his pain into purpose. As his family lays him to rest today, I was proud to go to the House floor to honor his life and legacy.
Speaker Johnson sent the House home until June because we were about to vote to rein in Trump & end his war in Iran. Republicans knew they'd lose, but they'd rather bow to Trump and continue this unauthorized war than help families here at home. The people deserve better.
Breaking News: House Republicans abruptly canceled a vote on a resolution directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran or win approval from Congress to continue the war, after it became clear they lacked the votes to defeat the measure.
Our trans kids deserve a safe learning environment. But instead, Republicans passed a bill that requires teachers to forcibly out them to their parents & peers. This is unconscionable & will only put trans kids in harm's way. I voted NO because our trans kids deserve better.
And with states across the country in the midst of an unprecedented execution spree & Trump shamefully reviving federal firing squads, Republicans are doubling down on state-sanctioned killing instead of ending it.
