It's unacceptable that in 2025, equal work doesn't mean equal pay for women across the country. This Equal Pay Day, I'm supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act to strengthen protections against pay discrimination.

Gabbard answered many questions about topics that are "under review." She obviously refused to answer questions that would have led to damaging or embarrassing admissions, including here:
Heads must roll. This is one of the dumbest security breaches in history, and it suggests a larger pattern of potentially criminal behavior that puts Americans at risk.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump wants to get teachers fired, hurt schools, make students go hungry, and make college less affordable, all to make billionaires a little richer.
His attack on the Department of Education is illegal and the courts should put a swift halt to this nonsense.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data.

Trump is relentless in persecuting federal workers, attacking American democracy, and doing the bidding of dictators who hate the USA.
Shuttering the U.S. Agency for Global Media and Voice of America does all of these, and losing their work would hurt freedom-loving people all over the world.
Above all, the administration must stop its assault on the Bill of Rights, and until it does all reasonable people who claim to defend the Constitution must oppose what is happening to Badar Khan Suri.

The courts must consider Mr. Suri’s case with all possible speed, given the administration’s track record of attempting to deny constitutional rights in ways that are difficult to undo before judicial remedies can be provided.
While some will find false consolation in their own disagreements with the views expressed by those detained, the truth is that the horrifying precedent established by these cases may lead to the persecution of other individuals and groups with unforeseen consequences.
In both cases, the administration has punished speech with frightening, extreme measures that, if it happened in another country, most of us would not hesitate to call ‘authoritarianism.’
It is authoritarianism.
Trump has made no effort to disguise the fact that the arrests of academics like Suri and Mahmoud Khalil are intended to have a chilling effect and discourage the free expression of political views which Trump dislikes.

The ‘justification’ given for these violations of Mr. Suri’s right to due process is another violation of the Constitution: a blatant attack on the First Amendment. Mr. Suri and his family are unfortunately the latest victim of President Trump’s assault on the freedom of speech.
Mr. Suri, here legally and not accused of a crime, was surrounded outside the Northern Virginia home where he lives with his wife –a US citizen– and their children, arrested by masked authorities without explanation, disappeared, imprisoned, denied access to counsel, and had his student visa revoked
Earlier this week my constituent, Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown postdoctoral fellow, was detained outside his Rosslyn home.
He remains in detention despite not being accused of a crime, a clear violation of his constitutional rights. He must be released.

Netanyahu's decision to reignite the war in Gaza is a tragedy in the making.
My full statement:
Judge Chuang’s decision emphasizes what we have been saying: Elon Musk and DOGE’s efforts to dismantle USAID are illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt. It’s an authoritarian assault on a federal agency established and funded by Congress.
NEW: A federal judge rebuked Elon Musk and DOGE for likely violating the constitution in their race to dismantle USAID.

If you have to pick a lock to get in somewhere something fishy might be going on. When I arrived at USIP two nights ago – DOGE had done just that. Unlawfully removing private nonprofit workers from their jobs and weaponizing law enforcement to do it.
Trump and DOGE overstepped executive authority by using force to break into USIP. Infringing on the rights of private nonprofits is another way this administration is undermining democracy and taking away independence from organizations simply trying to do their jobs.

Thousands of IRS workers were fired under the false pretext of "performance failures," despite never having undergone such reviews. IRS’ own lawyers said this could constitute fraud.
Yet another illegal act designed to benefit Trump, Musk, and their wealthy tax evading friends.
SCOOP: Before the IRS fired nearly 7,000 probationary employees, a senior lawyer raised the alarm that:
- the terminations contained "false" information
- they amounted to a "fraud" on the US judicial system
