I joined @rainbowcentr last week to celebrate its expansion into a new space. Amid Republican attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, spaces like the Rainbow Center that provide services and support are more critical than ever.

I’m back in DC to vote “yes” on releasing the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice, and the American people deserve to know who was involved in committing these crimes.

As a senior member of the @edworkforcedems’ Higher Education Subcommittee who recently visited UCLA to meet with the Chancellor and researchers to encourage them to fight these illegal orders, I am extremely happy to see this decision. We will not be bullied and extorted!

I’m a yes vote for transparency, accountability, and justice for the survivors of Epstein’s heinous crimes. I’m not sure why so many of my Republican colleagues can’t say the same. https://t.co/0LWqiaOQK7

Finally! Congratulations and welcome to my new colleague from Arizona, Rep. Adelita Grijalva.
Grijalva: It has been 50 days since the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district elected me to represent them. 50 days that over 800,000 arizonans have been left without access to the basic services that every constituent deserves. This is an abuse of power. One

I’m back at the Capitol ahead of a vote on a Republican spending bill that will raise health care premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way for millions more to lose their coverage. Tune in for more on why I will proudly be voting “no.”
