Solar for All is one of the most important affordable energy programs in our country’s history. The Trump administration’s decision to terminate Solar for All was not just reckless — it was unlawful. [1/4]

The State Department's new guidance to classify abortion as a human rights abuse undermines U.S. leadership on human rights and further erodes access to reproductive care across the world.
I joined @repnikema.bsky.social and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov in demanding that it reverse this guidance.

The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.
Feds are sending pregnant migrant girls to Texas shelter
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

We're seeing the impact—in real time—of what Congressional Republicans' cuts to Medicaid and failure to extend ACA tax credits are doing to the whole health care ecosystem. It's not good.

Good to chat with Barbara Schwarz about my bill to freeze hiring at ICE until there is accountability, transparency, and procedural reform to ensure the safety of the American people.

Accounts from detained families, their lawyers and court filings describe one federal detention center in Texas as a place where hundreds of children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.
Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school
A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public view.

I co-sponsored @repscottpeters.bsky.social's Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to place strict limits on immigration agents' use of force and reinforce protections for people exercising their First Amendment rights.
Kristi Noem has got to go. And we must have independent investigations and end the militarization of our communities. I introduced the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to force DHS to abide by the same use-of-force and de-escalation standards as our local police officers. 1/2

I joined @repyassansari.bsky.social and my House Democratic colleagues in responding to the Trump administration's latest attack on the freedom of the press. Attorney General Bondi should be focused on protecting our Constitutional rights, not weaponizing them.
Arresting journalists is a five-alarm fire as the authoritarian takeover of our country accelerates. Pam Bondi must answer for it. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding action. We have to use every lever we have, including DHS funding, as Trump and Republicans shred the Constitution.

More than a year in, Trump’s Day One promise to lower costs is still just a campaign promise.
During his first year, people spent over $1,600 more across the country.

Heartbreaking. Renee Good's family is right. What happened to her was violent, unnecessary, and it must lead to change. The majority of people in this country do not support armed federal agents acting like they are above the law. Enough is enough.

In moving $100 𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 toward President Trump's and Secretary Noem's cruel anti-immigrant agenda and away from health care, everything has become more expensive.
They're also using that money to pay DHS's comms team to tweet 1930s Nazi talking points.
