Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

"You told a lie about them. Do you regret that?" -- Raskin grills Noem about her comments that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 4(source)

I want to know Secretary Noem's plan to stop masked ICE and CBP agents from killing American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We can enforce our immigration laws without terrorizing American citizens and immigrant communities.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 4(source)

Once again, a federal court affirms that Members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits of ICE detention facilities. The American people demand oversight, accountability and reform of the administration's inhumane immigration practices.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 4(source)

Today, Secretary Noem takes some questions from House Judiciary Democrats. Here’s one: why are masked federal agents wreaking havoc in our cities—intimidating, attacking and killing both immigrants and American citizens?

Justice for victims or coverup for their traffickers? Health care for all or corrupt self-enrichment for the president? The Bill of Rights or a catalogue of escalating wrongs against the people? The battle lines are drawn in Congress.

Thanks to the expert team from D.C. Water repairing the sewage spill at the Potomac Interceptor for giving me an extensive tour of both the damage and the critical repairs being implemented at the C&O Canal. A full remediation plan is up next.

As Trump's numbers sink like a stone, he grows ever more desperate to bury the secrets buried in the Epstein File. The survivors plan to make sure the truth is known and justice is done.

House Democrats bringing Jeffrey Epstein survivors to Trump's State of the Union speech

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he was bringing Haley Robson as a way of "bringing accountability to the Epstein class."

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govFeb 23(source)

Trump’s DOJ isn't focused on arriving at the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring and all of its crimes and accomplices. Trump’s DOJ is focused on diversion, distraction, delay, and setting trapdoors for Congress. Pam Bondi is running a coverup.

MoCo, as more winter weather heads our way, get those shovels out and let’s prepare for snow and icy conditions from Sunday evening through Monday. Please be safe and hang tough!

The Trump Administration has a staff infection.

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govFeb 18(source)

Trump is shredding our Constitution every day. Instead of answering for all the damage inflicted on our people and the rule of law, Attorney General Pam Bondi spent her time before the Judiciary Committee name-calling, filibustering and deflecting from her indefensible Epstein coverup.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govFeb 18(source)

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

Moved and saddened by the passing of Reverend Jackson, who kept hope alive for working-class economics, interracial progressive organizing and peace for many decades. Condolences to Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Jr. and the whole family.
