Promising a vote is not a deal. What we need is real solutions on the table to address the healthcare and affordability crisis. If we can get four Republicans to sign on to the Epstein Discharge Petition, I hope we can get AT LEAST four to commit to fixing healthcare. Let’s get to work!

Americans are fed up — and the numbers don’t lie. Trump won in part because people thought he’d fix the economy. Now he’s 26 points underwater on it, and prices for housing, food, insurance, and basic necessities are hammering families harder than ever.

My pitch at COP in Belem:
1. Trump doesn't speak for our country on climate; he's the agent of fossil fuel - indeed, the corrupt agent. He speaks for them, his big donors, not for Americans.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

This week I introduced the bipartisan COACH Act with Senator Curtis and Reps. Williams, Stauber and Chu to give child care providers the tools they need to strengthen their businesses, make child care more affordable, and allow more parents to enter the workforce. It’s a win-win.

A special prosecutor may be the only way to bring credibility to the release of the files.

1) Trump can release the Epstein files at any time
2) He knows he is about to lose this week’s House Epstein files vote so wants to act like he endorses it
3) With all of Trump’s Epstein files coverup, we should settle for nothing less than a trusted special prosecutor

Why is Trump changing course? B/c his approval rating with MAGA is terrible and people are abandoning him. By calling for the GOP to support this, he gives the nation what it wants. Except that he also told AG Pam Bondi to investigate Democrats in the Epstein Files, so now they can't be released.

America overwhelmingly supports the survivors’ demand for complete disclosure of what the government knows about the billion-dollar Epstein global trafficking ring. Stop the excuses and deflections—release the file.

An off-duty ICE agent threatened a random Hispanic teenager with a gun as he was driving. He pulled him from the vehicle and started to demand that he prove he was here legally. THE ICE AGENT WAS ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT. Pretty much the same assaults we're seeing every day

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

That is why the next set of subpoenas coming out of the @oversightdemocrats.house.gov must be the financial records involving Jeffrey Epstein.
We are leaving no stone unturned in this case.

This is terrifying
Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.
ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.
If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?
