When I was first elected to Congress, I had no idea just how often I’d need to stand up for our LGBTQ+ rights.
I’m honored to do this work, and I won’t stop until every person in this country can be their whole and true self.

Trump installed a lackey to lead the Department of Justice, and now he wants to make him permanent.
The absurd idea of making Todd Blanche the permanent attorney general conflicts with the entire concept of an independent DOJ.
The problem with tonight’s UFC fight is the grift. For Trump’s birthday vanity project, he’s using OUR White House as a billboard for corporations.
If only he’d spend this much effort on lowering people’s everyday costs.
Government used to be the driving engine for innovation.
With their cuts to research and science, the Trump administration is putting our progress at risk and driving some of our brightest minds overseas.
This week, Republicans decided we don’t have the time or money to lower the cost of food, gas, housing, and health care, but we have plenty of both to give $70B to ICE and Border Patrol.
This is all so screwed up.
Have you noticed that plane travel is even worse now than it was a few years ago?
It’s because the Trump admin keeps bowing down to the airlines and rolling back rules that were in place to protect us.
This is the merger that would put TikTok, CNN, and CBS under the control of one mega business and force prices up, wages down, and people to lose their jobs.
But Paramount’s CEO David Ellison has been wining and dining Trump and his cronies so of course the DOJ approves it.
Today, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire.
It's a ridiculous amount of money for one person to be sitting on and comes as countless Americans are struggling to afford food, housing, and health care.
We need to tax wealth – immediately.
This is yet another step in the Trump admin's campaign to silence dissent in our country. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful permanent resident whose constitutional rights must be protected.
I will continue to stand with Mohsen throughout this absurd legal saga.

10 years ago today, 49 lives were stolen in an act of senseless violence at #Pulse Nightclub.
As we remember the victims, many of whom were LGBTQI+ and Latine, we must all recommit to ending the epidemic of extremist violence so that all people may be free to live without fear.

I want to talk about the bombshell reporting in the New York Times about the Trump admin’s coverup of the Epstein files.
They met in the situation room - not to address a national security issue but to do all they could to ensure Trump and his friends don’t face the accountability they deserve.
Americans have been clear. They want states to be running their elections, and they want guardrails on ICE.
Yet again, we have the president and his Republican allies in Congress not listening to the American people.

Today, I led the @housedemocrats.bsky.social in wearing orange to honor Hadiya Pendleton and every life stolen by gun violence. Orange was Hadiya's favorite color, and now, it's a bright beacon for gun violence awareness.
We owe survivors more than thoughts & prayers. We owe them action.
It’s clear by this point that Trump lives in a golden bubble.
He only watches his favorite cable news shows, his team tells him what he wants to hear, he has more money than he knows what to do with, and he certainly isn’t speaking with everyday Americans.
There's no other explanation for this.
Pursuing a more progressive tax system is a start, but it’s not the end when it comes to ensuring the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.
We need to be taxing wealth.
The accusations against the @splcenter.org are absurd.
This THIRD hearing on the topic was clearly part of a broader effort built on a pathetic, blind loyalty to Donald Trump.
For decades, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social has participated in a wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery to honor women veterans. The Trump admin called it a “diversity event” and canceled it this year.
Well, we held our own event today. We'll ALWAYS honor women who serve our country.
Is this a surprise? No, it’s not.
Do we know who’s responsible? Yes, we do.
It’s sad that we know to expect this. Real Americans are literally paying the price for Trump’s policies – and folks just can’t make ends meet.
Yet again, Trump has pardoned a former Republican Congressman who was convicted by a jury of his peers of insider trading.
It’s the corrupt protecting the corrupt.
It just drives home why we need to act now to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their name and likeness. Let’s start by passing my NO FAKES Act. (2/2)
