My staff has confirmed with Mohsen's team that he has been released on bail. So relieved. This is a huge win but the fight is far from over. It’s going to take all of us to demand due process for everyone.

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

The Speaker of the House is instructing Republicans to stop holding town halls because they can't take the heat. It truly reveals the level of contempt they have for the needs of regular people. Shameful.

On one hand, Donald Trump will steal from working class people through a crypto-scam.
On the other hand, the hardworking staff at CFPB will fight to get people their money back.
That’s why we need this essential agency to be reopened to finish its necessary work.

Trump's attack on NIH funding is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the people who depend on them.
It will gut critical research, kill jobs, and put lives at risk—especially in the #MA7, a global hub for cutting-edge research.

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.
