Hundreds of hungry Palestinians have been killed near food sites managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which is funded in part by our tax dollars. This group should not receive our support while Gazans face starvation and violent death every day. The famine and slaughter must end now.
The Carbon Kings are rejoicing as they watch MAGA's slash-and-burn campaign at NOAA. But pulling the wool over your own eyes won't stop climate change or accelerating natural disasters. As I told this rally in 92-degree heat, NOAA is our ark.
Inspired by federal workers and their families fighting the Trump-Musk madness. Solidarity is the watch word of our time as we defend against Trump’s assault on facts, science, diplomacy and the professional civil service.
Right-wing cancel culture run wild! They’re not only canceling Colbert, global relief, the federal work force and their promise to release the Epstein File. Now they’re canceling Congress!
Speaker Johnson would rather cancel all votes & hearings than simply have a vote on bipartisan legislation demanding release of the Epstein files, something he, Trump & Bondi have been demanding for months! A pathetic new low in political cowardice & legislative malpractice.

It's time to step up and be founding fighters for our democracy. @raskin.house.gov

@raskin.house.gov: "They'd conscripted 1000 FBI agents to be working around the clock 24 hours going through 100,000 Epstein documents and told them to flag any mentions of Donald Trump... This might be one of the most massive cover-ups in the history of the United States unfolding before our eyes."

@raskin.house.gov on why Biden didn't release the Epstein files: "The DOJ under Biden brought the prosecution against Maxwell, so obviously Biden wasn't trying to suppress anything. The GOP stories make no sense. They say Biden & Obama made this stuff up about Trump but then they never released it?"
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.
What do “The New Jim Crow” and the AP Psych textbook have in common? They’re two of the 596 books that Secretary Hegseth pulled from DoD schools. American servicemembers signed up to defend our freedom—their families shouldn’t be made victims of right-wing political correctness and censorship.
For six years, our MD-08 Local Hero, Manny Hidalgo, has led Shepherd’s Table in Silver Spring with energy and creativity, serving three meals a day, seven days a week, to our neighbors in need and working to uplift people experiencing homelessness.
We don't need Trump or Bondi to sift through the stack and tell America what they think is “credible” in the Epstein files. Thanks, but no thanks—we’ll decide ourselves. The president should stop playing us for fools and suckers. Release everything—now.
Trump’s rolling campaign of shakedown censorship, blackmail and purge has now felled the Late Show. But Stephen Colbert, a true-blue patriot and comic genius who skewers dunce-tyrants for a living, is irrepressible and invincible.
On this John Lewis National Day of Action, we remember John’s determination to put his body, heart and mind in the way of injustice and oppression. Honor this hero of the Civil Rights Movement by making good trouble to defend democracy and freedom.
Insatiable greed from Republicans in DC who aren't satisfied with the giant corporate tax breaks funded by prying away health care from 17 million Americans. They want to stage yet another ruling-class financial riot against the American people.

We won't allow union busting on Capitol Hill ✊
#ICYMI Last week, @raskin.house.gov joined @unitehere.org Local 23 for a rally demanding that incoming House food vendors rehire the existing workers and honor their union contract.
Read more about the rally here: rollcall.com/2025/07/09/h...
Democrats are in solidarity with the Capitol's food service workers rallying to keep their jobs and their health insurance. Union strong!
Enough is enough. Chairman Jim Jordan should bring AG Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino before the Judiciary Committee to reveal to Congress and America exactly what they know about the Epstein files.
We are all deeply grateful for Terrance's years of devoted service to Rep. Hoyer and the Free State. May his precious memory be a blessing to his family, friends and colleagues.
