🚨I'm leading @oversightdemocrats.house.gov calling for a hearing to let survivors of Epstein's abuse testify before Congress.
For those who wish to speak up, we cannot meet their courage with inaction.
This is crucial to getting the healing, transparency & accountability survivors deserve.

“You do not reward a child sex trafficker with a chaise lounge and optional tennis. You don’t let the most notorious predator concierge in American history dictate the terms of her own punishment—unless you’re shaking in your loafers about what she might let slip.”

They Gave a Monster a Garden
While the media flinches and Republicans hide, one of the most infamous monsters in America got a private escort to a “prison” paradise, and we all know damn well why.

As of today, thanks to Trump, Americans are paying the highest tariff rate since 1933.
And the average household is going to lose out on $2,400 thanks to Trump's tariffs.
You are paying more for almost everything because of Trump himself.

No one should have to die to get kids home.
When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.
ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field
Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

Republicans’ defunding of Planned Parenthood in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill is a cruel attack on reproductive care, cancer screenings, and more.
But thanks to @governorferguson.bsky.social, Washington State will continue funding local Planned Parenthoods — and save lives.

How grotesque.
The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
