NEW POD: I sat down with Trita Parsi, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute, to talk about Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional war with Iran. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ8U...

While Trump and his billionaire buddies are raking in money, Americans are struggling to find jobs. This is the Republican economy.

Construction workers at a site, with one standing on scaffolding, and a crane in the background. Text states: "The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% - CNN." Additional text mentions a drop in jobs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and job numbers failing to meet economists' expectations.

Republicans today voted against my amendment to protect funding for state and local authorities to go after predators who perpetrate sexual assault, human trafficking and domestic violence.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

I introduced an amendment to ensure states and localities have access to essential funds that combat human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual abuse –– regardless of local immigration enforcement policies. Republicans blocked it.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Trump’s war in Iran is clearly a war of choice, not necessity. Congress alone has the power to declare war, not the President. Today, I voted yes to reassert Congress’s authority. My full statement on the failed Iran War Powers Resolution vote:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Instead of addressing DHS’s deadly abuses, Republicans are taking up a bill to force state and local law enforcement to help round up immigrants by threatening to cut off funding if they do not comply. This does not make our communities safer.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Bye, Kristi.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS — good riddance. My full statement on Trump firing her:

Jayapal Statement on Trump Ousting Noem

“Good riddance. I called for Secretary Noem to be fired, to resign, or to be impeached yesterday, and now she has been.

“Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS that killed two Americans in the street, put children in prison camps, separated families, detained US citizens, led to 41 deaths in custody, and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars.

“Congress still cannot fund DHS until there is real, tangible proof that this will be a meaningful, structural change.”

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Mansplaining so-called “women's issues” is what Republicans are doing instead of standing up for survivors.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

A Republican Member, Darrell Issa, tried to mansplain to me how I was conflating and making everything a “women's issue." He’s wrong — and does not understand how many issues are all interconnected. It’s a pattern of not taking sexual violence seriously. So, no, I am not the naive one.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Today, Congress is voting on a War Powers Resolution to demand that Trump end his war in Iran. I am voting yes. This war is clearly illegal, unconstitutional, and a distraction from what Americans actually care about.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Unilaterally deciding to go to war without evidence of an imminent threat or congressional approval is what kings and monarchs do. There are too many lives at risk and too many people put in danger. Congress must debate these decisions.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 5(source)

Last week, I led a letter with @repescobar.bsky.social calling for Camp East Montana to be closed. Camp East Montana must close. This is overdue and necessary. My full statement on the reported closure of Camp East Montana:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

Kristi Noem needs to go.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

It is shameful that Kristi Noem could not accept responsibility for the actions of ICE and CBP today. But it’s unsurprising from an administration that works so hard to try to turn us against our neighbors. DHS, ICE, and CBP need to be dismantled.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

Trump promised that he would be the president to end forever wars. He lied. His war with Iran is illegal and unconstitutional, and is putting American servicemembers’ lives at risk. And it’s all a part of his attempted cover-up of failures here at home.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

Kristi Noem has led DHS with zero accountability — militarizing our cities, terrorizing our communities, and detaining and killing U.S. citizens. It’s time for Noem to either resign, get fired, or be impeached.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

Today, I questioned DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and shared the stories of four U.S. citizens who’ve been wrongfully detained by ICE under her leadership. She simply doesn’t care that they are illegally detaining U.S. citizens.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 4(source)

Secretary Noem was given multiple chances to tell the truth today and own up to the lawlessness of DHS. She chose not to. The American people deserve better. She needs to resign, be impeached, or be fired.
