Iranian-American Rep. @yassaminansari.bsky.social opposes Trump’s “illegal” war: “My family & friends have been brutalized and murdered by the Islamic Republic… but Trump has shown freedom for the people of Iran is not his priority. I will be voting YES on the war powers resolution.”

First stop on today’s labor union tour: the Arizona Building & Construction Trades Council. We’re facing the most anti-union, anti-worker agenda in modern history, led by Donald Trump & his billionaire buddies. I’ll keep fighting to protect good-paying union jobs and people who power our economy.

Arizona Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and food assistance to fund unprecedented tax cuts for the rich and pour $170 billion into DHS and ICE. Now that money is being used to expand private prison-run detention centers and house human beings in warehouses. Indefensible.

The Trump White House’s cover-up of the Epstein Files is criminal, and we will not back down until the truth is fully exposed. If you’re an FBI agent who worked on this case and want justice for survivors, whistleblower protections exist. Oversight Democrats have a secure tip line.

Alex Acosta cut Epstein a sweetheart plea deal, then served in Trump’s Cabinet. Today he showed zero remorse and dodged accountability at every turn. Because of that deal, Epstein kept abusing and raping girls. This is why we need the full files—now.
