The American people deserve real accountability—not these selective investigations. If there are questions about misconduct, we should follow the facts.

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

Republicans keep proving that free speech isn’t free for everyone. That’s why I introduced the Free Speech Act of 2025 — to stop the FCC from being used as a political weapon and to protect the First Amendment.

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Republicans scream “free speech”… until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”

A few weeks ago, I went down to El Paso to see what’s really happening inside Camp East Montana. And let me tell you — what I heard and what I’ve since learned doesn’t add up. People in ICE custody still deserve due process and a lawyer. Period. Anything less is unconstitutional. (1/2)

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

Let’s be clear—your rights don’t disappear because of your skin color, your accent, or your citizenship status. The Constitution doesn’t work like that, no matter how bad Republicans want it to. This Supreme Court ruling is dangerous and it’s only taking us backwards.

24 years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and honor the first responders who gave everything that day. We will never forget.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

Republicans will blame immigrants for everything, but stay silent on white supremacists, Jan 6th rioters, and school shootings. If y’all really cared as much as you claim you do, you’d call out all threats to our communities—not just the ones that fit your agenda.

The courts said what we already knew: Trump can’t just break the law to come after Dr. Lisa Cook. His attempt was illegal, baseless, and part of his long pattern of trying to tear down Black women in power. (1/2)

They shout “America first” but are always putting Americans last. Cutting SNAP and food assistance doesn’t make children healthy. You can’t talk about making America healthy again while taking food out of their mouths

Let’s be clear—this is bigger than Trump. The Epstein files show how banks, corporations, and even governments looked the other way while children were abused. Survivors deserve justice. We can’t let this cycle repeat.

As a trial lawyer for 15+ years, I’ve never seen a case this big. The Epstein files aren’t about partisan politics. They’re about predators, power, and justice. And Trump’s lies about his ties tell us everything we need to know.

I’m honored to serve on the new January 6th subcommittee alongside and Rep. Swalwell @repmoskowitz.bsky.social. Together, we will defend the Constitution, protect the truth, and make sure the American people never forget who was responsible for the defilement of the Capitol.

Trump swore up & down he never signed Epstein’s “birthday book.” Called it fake. Even sued the WSJ for reporting it. Now the evidence tells a different story. And if he went this far to cover up a doodle and a “secret” message, what else is he hiding? (1/2)

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent—if you’re protecting predators instead of survivors, you don’t deserve a seat in Congress. Our oath is to the Constitution and to the people, not the powerful.

More lies. More letdowns. Trump promised to fix the economy, but today’s jobs report is the worst since the pandemic. Doesn’t sound like the “greatest economy ever” to me.

Pay very close attention. On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.” Miss me with that bullshit.

We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)

Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)

62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)

It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Here, fixed it.

Too many folks who are ready to farm are being locked out by outdated rules and endless red tape. Land is power, and everyone willing to put in the work deserves a fair shot at it. (1/2)

They’ve tried to erase us for centuries. Didn’t work then, won’t work now. Black history IS American history.

Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Bill Barr—the AG when Epstein died—was in the hot seat today. But let me remind you: DOJ owes us the Epstein files beginning tomorrow. All of them. Client list included. (1/2)

I teamed up with @repdexteror.bsky.social to introduce the CLEAR ID Act because ICE shouldn't be allowed to hide behind masks and unmarked cars—especially not on the taxpayer’s dime. (1/2)

90 years after Social Security was signed into law, Trump and MAGA Republicans think “America First” means coming for the benefits our seniors earned. (1/2)

60 years after the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression is still targeting our communities. That’s why I introduced the SWIFT VOTE Act and the POLL Act. These bills cut the lines, expose the delays, and give folks real power to fight back when states play games with our right to vote.

Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country. But let’s be clear—#PurpleHeartDay can’t just be symbolic. If you’re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not really honoring them.

Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator: I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing. I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law. Now, we have an administration conducting voter suppression in real time. In Texas, Republicans are trying to gut our democracy by redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats—before a single vote is cast. (1/2)

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee. It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

Today is #NationalInternDay! Big shoutout to our summer interns in DC and TX-30 for holding it down this summer.

Medicare & Medicaid turn 60 today. Instead of protecting the care that so many Americans rely on, Trump’s Big Ugly law rips health care away from 15 MILLION people. The same folks screaming “America First” stay busy putting Americans dead last.

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air. Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes. (1/2)

Trump’s EPA just announced they want to erase the science that says climate change is real so they can pollute more and dodge accountability. (1/2)
