"This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves"
26,000 innocent children, some too young to read or talk, are now without legal representation in court. Morally reprehensible.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly uprooted from their homes during WWII simply because of their heritage. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.
This Day of Remembrance, we recommit ourselves to the fight for justice, equality, and civil rights.
Elon Musk wants the financial information of every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country. The answer must be NO.
An unelected billionaire should not be allowed to go through your IRS records – or those of his business competitors.
Republicans are trying to gut vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP — all to hand trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
This is Project 2025 in action. We'll fight back.
In his first days in office, Trump has tried to:
❌ Freeze Medicaid
❌ Raise drug prices
❌ Cut assistance programs
He’s prioritizing the agendas of billionaires and big corporations. Full stop.
Today, I'm back in Congress, ready to continue fighting for our communities. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to my office; your voice makes a difference.
Elon Musk, Corrupter-in-Chief.
The law is clear: President Trump doesn't have the authority to eliminate the Department of Education. Yet he’s determined to ignore Congress at every turn.
#HandsOffTheCFPB
Here are the FACTS:
81% of voters, both Republicans and Democrats, support the CFPB and want the agency to continue its work.
Even so, Trump has moved to freeze the CFPB to take money out of YOUR pocket to line those of his billionaire friends.
@ushousefsc.bsky.social won’t stand for it.
As members of Congress, we were denied access to the Department of Education. This is unacceptable.
We are demanding answers.
My @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues and I are working to protect our communities, not un-elected billionaire, Elon Musk.
Exigimos total transparencia de la Administración Trump. El gobierno debe trabajar para el pueblo, no para los multimillonarios.
Es inaceptable que la administración Trump le haya dado al multimillonario Elon Musk acceso al sistema de pagos del Tesoro de Estados Unidos. Nadie eligió a Elon Musk.

The majority of Americans support fixing our broken immigration system, keeping families together, and creating a pathway to citizenship for the Dreamers, farmworkers, and families who contribute so much to our communities.
I'm fighting for these reforms in Congress.
First USAID. Now the Department of Education.
What's next? Social Security? Your health insurance? VA benefits? Trump and Elon Musk are trying to put everything on the chopping block.
We’re pushing back in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities.

Sending migrants to Guantanamo Bay – a place notorious for human rights violations – is dehumanizing and cruel. This is a clear attempt by the Trump Administration to act in the shadows and avoid oversight. We need to shut down Guantanamo, not expand it.
I’m the proud son of Mexican immigrants.
I know that immigrants are essential to this nation. They’re our nurses, construction workers, and small business owners. They work hard, pay taxes, and strengthen our economy.
A Day Without Immigrants is a powerful reminder of these truths.
Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire with his own financial motives and interests.
He should not have access to $6 trillion in Treasury payments and millions of people’s personal data.
We're fighting back with every tool at our disposal.
Last night's plane crash in Washington, DC is absolutely devastating. My prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. Thank you to the first responders on the scene.
