Three lies and a truth from the Secretary of Commerce. Resign now.

Here’s why it matters that the Department of Justice is spying on Members of Congress.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! As we enter the Year of the Horse, I wish everyone a year full of good health, joy, and peace.

I’m grateful for his lifetime of service, and for his family who shared him so generously with the world. Sending love and support to them and all those who revered him. (3/3)

As a young organizer, I looked to him and his work building diverse coalitions as my inspiration for the way to build power for poor, working class and marginalized people. His legacy remains strong — and now we honor him by continuing this critical work. (2/3)

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a voice of morality and justice — a giant who inspired me and so many others to fight for justice and never give up. (1/3)

ICYMI: I asked AG Bondi if she would apologize to the Epstein survivors for the harm her DOJ has done to them. She refused — she wouldn’t even look at them. I will never stop demanding accountability and justice for these incredibly brave survivors.

A picture of Rep. Jayapal speaking with a Common Dreams headline and article text overlayed. The headline reads, "Pam Bondi Refuses to Apologize to Epstein Survivors Standing Right Behind Her During House Hearing." Additional text reads, "'Your Department of Justice initially released this list of 32 survivors’ names, with only one name redacted,” said Jayapal, who then slammed the DOJ for releasing files that not only included victims’ names but also their email and residential addresses, and even nude photographs of them."

Trump’s reckless tariffs are raising costs for families across the country — forcing people to pay a whopping $1,300 more on average for everything from tomatoes to t-shirts. These tariffs add up and they mean a paycheck doesn’t go as far as it should.

This image shows a bold, red upward arrow on a dark background with faint dollar signs. The text reads: "$1,300 The average tax increase per U.S. household because of Trump's tariffs." In the lower left corner, it says "Source: Tax Foundation."

Let me be clear — ICE has no place in our community. I’m glad to work with leaders like King County Executive Girmay Zahilay who are taking steps to ban these lawless federal agents from terrorizing our neighbors.

Zahilay bans ICE from certain spaces in King County

The county executive, in his first executive order, issued a suite of actions aimed at supporting immigrant and refugee communities.

My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!

Syria needs at least $200 billion to help aid their reconstruction, and 90% of the population is living in poverty. If the U.S. reimposes sanctions on Syria, it would be devastating to the people trying to rebuild their lives.

So many of the rich and powerful abusers in the Epstein files thought they were above the law and that they would never be caught. We will continue standing up and fighting until there is full accountability and justice.

Pam Bondi is orchestrating a massive cover-up of the Epstein Files.

Three stacked images from the House Judiciary Committee's hearing with Pam Bondi. Each image includes quotes in text overlay. The top image shows Pam Bondi speaking, with text: "I'm not going to get in the gutter with this woman." The middle image features Rep. Jayapal with text: "I wish that you would turn around to the survivors who are standing right behind you, and on a human level, apologize to them for what you have done." The bottom panel shows Epstein survivors standing behind Pam Bondi, with overlay text: "**Refuses to apologize**".

I’m demanding answers from Pam Bondi about her spying on Members of Congress. Here’s a quick recap of the week:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govFeb 14(source)

Having the brave survivors in the room during Pam Bondi’s questioning was incredibly powerful. The DOJ has retraumatized these survivors, and I won’t stop standing with them as we push for justice and accountability.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govFeb 13(source)

I just sent a letter to Pam Bondi demanding that the DOJ stop spying on Members of Congress. Everyone — Independents, Republicans, and Democrats — should be outraged by this surveillance by the DOJ. It needs to stop NOW.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govFeb 13(source)

I, along with @raskin.house.gov & @robertgarcia.house.gov, am formally demanding AG Pam Bondi and the DOJ immediately stop spying on Members of Congress, explain why they were surveilling us, and grant us access to the fully unredacted Epstein Files. The DOJ must stop its cover-up NOW.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govFeb 13(source)

Thank you to the courageous survivors who are continuing to fight for justice. I am so proud to stand with you, and I will never stop fighting for what you deserve.

The humanitarian situation in Syria has long been unimaginable. But now, families are returning, hoping for security and safety under their new government. Assisting the rebuilding process in Syria not only helps the region, but is also good for U.S. national security interests.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.

A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.
