If the Trump admin won't use U.S. leverage, then Congress must pass mine & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill to stop arms sales to the UAE until they cease arming the genocidal RSF. [2/2]

In October, the RSF massacred over 6,000 people in 3 days in El Fasher, Sudan.
Now, in the RSF’s assault on al-Obeid, 500,000 civilians risk falling victim to that same brutality.
We are not powerless to stop this. [1/2]
In the 2 weeks since Republicans voted down my amendments to ban this slush fund, Trump & Blanche have refused to say it’s dead — including, now, where it matters most: in court.
Until it’s shut down, we must keep fighting to stop this $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund.
In 2022, workers at the Apple Store in Towson made history as the first to unionize their store.
Now, Apple is closing the store & the workers of IAM Local 4538 have gone to the NLRB over unfair labor practices.
Apple is worth $4.3+ TRILLION. They can afford to do better, they chose not to.
Democrats should make 2 key points.
1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started.
2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.
Very revealing. Republican senators who were AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.
This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality.
While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of justice.
Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of.
Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.
The deal between the United States & Iran underscores what we already knew: The Iran war was a huge blunder from the start & we are worse off as a result.
But one thing worse than this deal is not ending this stupid war.
When Republicans passed their One Big Beautiful Bill they said it wouldn’t impact our most vulnerable. Now they’re eating their words.
At a time when prices are out of control, 770,000 children have lost food assistance, all so billionaires & corporations can pay less in taxes.
$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired.
Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.
Students with disabilities are students first. This illegal change will worsen outcomes & delay civil rights protections.
The Dept of Education had decades of expertise helping kids learn according to their unique needs.
Walking away from IDEA in its 50th year is plain cruel.
Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions.
Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company.
Unprecedented corruption.
“Do you want to put federal employees in trauma?" should be an easy question for anyone overseeing our federal workforce.
But today, this Trump nominee couldn't answer it.
This admin's disdain for civil servants hurts all Americans by undermining their ability to serve us all.
Last April, Trump & Miller plotted to take away the habeas corpus rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia & other immigrants, to aid their illegal mass deportation agenda.
But our Constitution is clear: everyone gets due process. Threatening the rights of one, threatens the rights of all.
As this judge said, "History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, and achievements form an important part of our Nation's story,"
I couldn’t agree more.

Today, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope leaves NASA Goddard for the Port of Baltimore to begin its journey to the Kennedy Space Center.
This August, Roman will launch into space, broadening our understanding of our solar system & universe.
Excited to see it on the move!
This purchase and approval is the result of inappropriate interference by the Trump Admin on behalf of Trump's billionaire buddies.
The consolidation we're seeing in the media space is a threat to free speech. State Attorneys General must keep investigating these transactions.
One day after Trump’s lawless ICE operation traumatized kids on school grounds in Baltimore, we learn they’re harassing DMV-area nonprofits for information about immigrant CHILDREN.
This does nothing to make us safer.
No child should live in fear of ICE’s violence.
New data shows Trump’s refusal to extend ACA tax credits could lead to 5 MILLION people losing care this year.
Meanwhile, he’s spending your tax money on his Iran war & defense contracts for companies he's invested in.
He said it: he's not thinking of anyone else’s finances.
