I’m deeply frustrated and disappointed that the impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth failed on the House floor after Republicans voted it down. In spite of the GOP’s resistance, we will not let this go.

Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.

I’m so sick and tired of Republicans dehumanizing trans kids, demonizing their parents, and controlling what's happening in your doctor's appointments. All we want is kids to be able to get the health care that their parent deems necessary to keep them alive.

I’m disgusted by what Trump is doing to Ukraine right now. It threatens the safety of all of Europe and ours as well, to be aligned with a brutal dictator like Putin. We must work with likeminded Republicans - they exist on this - to urgently chart a new course.

Hey, Jon Lovett. I promise I’m not offended. I’m just honored to have been grouped together with other trailblazing women, Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and Congresswoman Sarah McBride 😉

There are a lot of sick parts of our immigration system right now. One example is how *toddlers* are being forced to face immigration judges with absolutely no legal representation. It’s cruel and inhumane.

By the time this video is posted, I’ll be actively making an unannounced visit to the ICE facility in Burlington, MA - the largest in New England. I’ll be checking back in soon.

The SAVE Act would put 1 in 4 women at risk of losing the right to vote. We cannot accept that – and no one should.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem.

No Kings protests across the country were peaceful, safe, and widely attended. Nearly 7 million people showed up to protest Trump’s illegal, cruel, and deeply unpopular policies. This is America. No kings.

Republicans will tell you behind closed doors they are afraid. Afraid of their families being targeted, of Trump or Elon tweeting about them. They're keeping their heads down so no one will notice. Well here's the deal: this isn't going away. It's not going to just fade away.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing. Let's be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home. Corporate greed is.

I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening. Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

Kidnapping a foreign leader invites other countries to do the same. The Trump administration just handed China and Russia permission on a silver platter, risking global stability and putting American lives in jeopardy.

Powerful men around Epstein knew exactly what was going on and they condoned it. Powerful men continue to protect powerful men in Congress. Let the public see the Epstein files. We need one more signature on Massie's discharge petition.

I just completed my unannounced oversight visit to the ICE facility in Burlington, MA, where many VT detainees are taken. I was especially focused on the conditions women are facing here and deeply upset at what I saw. We must keep the pressure on and call out this inhumanity.

One day, Kristi Noem won’t have Trump to hide behind. She will be held accountable for the terror she and her employees have unleashed on the American people.
