Others are still detained simply for exercising their First Amendment rights.
What's happening in these cases is an assault on basic freedoms, and we have to defend our values, and keep fighting this injustice until they are free.

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Badar Khan Suri back following his prolonged, unjust detention in Texas.
The Trump Administration persecuted him and others to spread fear on American campuses, tearing him away from his family in the process, until a judge halted it.
So glad he's home.
I will continue to support the United States Institute of Peace and the dedicated professionals who carry out its essential work.

It also threatened the independence of more than 232,000 other 501(c)(3) non-profits across the country, and undermined American diplomacy.
This decision restores the rule of law and protects the Institute’s ability to fulfill its mission. 5/
Trump and Musk’s brazen attempts to disregard these legal protections and dismantle this organization inflicted unnecessary trauma on the Institute’s committed leadership and employees. 4/
Congress established the Institute of Peace to advance a safer, more peaceful world.
In doing so, it defined the Institute as an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit and placed clear restrictions on presidential authority to remove Board members. 3/
The Court rightly concluded the Trump Administration and DOGE’s hostile takeover of the Institute was executed without legal authority and in direct violation of congressional statute.
A huge win for USIP, its dedicated staff, and the rule of law. 2/
HUGE: In federal court today, Judge Howell found that the Trump Administration and DOGE illegally removed USIP Board members, thereby nullifying ensuing actions including:
- replacement of Board members with DOGE officials,
- USIP staff purge, and
- transfer of USIP property to GSA.
60 years ago today, President Johnson created Head Start to give low-income children access to the tools they need to succeed!

CNN: There’s no denying it now: Tariffs are raising prices
www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/b...
After Donald Trump spent the last year promising to fight for regular people, every single Republican voted against my amendment to close the carried interest loophole.
They care more about appeasing billionaires and hedge fund managers than helping regular people.
As he repeatedly lies about Social Security fraud, Elon Musk is taking a sledgehammer to critical services Americans rely on.
It's absurd, and hurts working American families while he continues to enrich billionaires like himself.

I’ve introduced legislation to better address this increase in hate crimes, because violence and discrimination are never acceptable.

In 2022, @williamsinstitute.bsky.social found LGBT people in the U.S. are 9x more likely to be a victim of a violent crime.
On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, I want to say directly to the LGBTQ community: I see you and I will always support you.
Science tells us we need to take every step we can to tackle the climate crisis and ensure a livable future.
Instead, Republicans want to take a wrecking ball to climate and increase emissions by up to 500-730 million metric tons to pay for tax cuts for billionaires!

Read this whole thread, which much more thoroughly makes the point that I tried to make succinctly on Fox yesterday. The TL;DR is that the bill the Rs are trying to jam through is DESIGNED to make the very rich richer and to make those who are struggling poorer.
NEW: On #EndangeredSpeciesDay ESA Caucus Co-Chairs @beyer.house.gov, @debbiedingell.house.gov, 135 Representatives Seek Robust Funding for Endangered Species Protections
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
NEWS: I just led 112 of my colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on their funding freeze of the National Science Foundation.
Cutting off NSF funding threatens vital research, stalls innovation, and risks ceding global scientific leadership to China.
When Americans lose their health care, they’re forced to make drastic decisions like going without their medication and skipping visits to the doctor.
This means people are going to die – all so Republicans can give more tax cuts to billionaires.
House Democrats are joining the legal battle against Donald Trump's clear abuses of trade authorities, which he has used to declare fake national emergencies and then impose disastrous tariffs that are threatening our economy and raising prices: assistantdemocraticleader.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
