I visited Rümeysa Öztürk this week with @markey.senate.gov & @repmcgovern.bsky.social. What we found was not just a young woman locked up without charge, but also a democracy being put to the test. Read our op-ed about why her case has implications for everyone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

The Constitution is only as strong as our willingness to defend it.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Here's how we're fighting back.

Blue graphic with white and yellow text: "House Democrats are fighting back. Here's how:

Hosting special hearings to expose how Trump and Republicans are hurting Americans

Filing amicus briefs to block the Trump Administration in court

Voting NO as a united caucus against GOP's extreme agenda

Educating and mobilizing our communities against MAGA policies"

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother where he shared similar details of a March military airstrike against Yemen’s Houthi militants that were sent in another chain with top Trump administration leaders, The New York Times reported.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Point is: Without due process, no one can be sure that the government has accurately identified the "bad guys."

Just watched my toddler undo a child lock, take something from a drawer, close the drawer, then redo the child lock. If I didn't witness this I'd be questioning my own sanity.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

My constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped by DHS officials, had her constitutional rights violated, & has yet to be charged with a crime. I sat down with @theintercept.com to discuss Trump’s dangerous attacks on our students & immigrants, & how we're meeting this with resistance.

If you have ever said "I need something to vote for, not JUST something to vote against," I need you to understand how stupid you sound. The word JUST is not cheat codes out of a stupid position It's JUST 540,000 refugees losing TPS? It's JUST Medicaid, Medicare, SS ? It's JUST fascism?

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2):

“It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2):

“According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

“As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”
