I mean, they’re asking for more public comment. But we already heard from 26,000 people. How can we not agree that workers — all workers, everywhere, without waiting for a lawsuit that’s likely never to happen — should be free?

Donald Trump, insulter-in-Chief, recently made comments about me. Here's my statement: "I’ve known Donald Trump almost as long as he’s known Jeffrey Epstein. I’ve always known him for the charlatan he is. Now I know him as a twice impeached president, convicted felon, and…
.@RepBeccaB: “Our kids are more important than these billionaires and their shareholders. Period.” Yet Trump’s GOP is cashing Big Tech’s checks while attacking requirements that protect children online.
There was a massive checkpoint in my neighborhood last night and it was MPD doing the work, stopping cars while ICE/HSI agents looked on. It’s more than words, it’s a complete betrayal by the mayor.

An independent federal reserve means as more stable economy for Americans. By firing Lisa Cook, Trump is trying to mess with that stability and have his loyalists installed instead. Yet another power grab.

This decision is in line with Vermont's values. Vermonters do not want to contribute to Trump's authoritarian takeover of the capital city and its residents.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was once a rarely used provision. But now Marco Rubio uses it daily. It was his basis for going after Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and others to suppress political speech. So @RepDeborahRoss and I want to repeal it⤵️

As Trump announces his authoritarian crackdown against a non-existent street crime crisis in DC, remember his administration has already dropped 100+ enforcement actions against alleged corporate lawbreakers.
Rather than fearmonger about crime in DC (crime rates have fallen sharply in the city), Trump should pressure Speaker Johnson to release the $1 billion in taxpayer money that Congress blocked. This is a complete authoritarian power grab of the capital city.

ICYMI: @RepRaskin and I sent a letter on Friday demanding @AGPamBondi provide information about HPE’s acquisition of Juniper, based on reporting that suggests the Trump Administration overrode their own Antitrust Division officials who opposed the deal. We must know if the DOJ…

Exactly zero surprises here -- inviting grifting and culture war grievance peddling in the M&A review process is bad for deals.
Congress has had 2 chances this week to release the Epstein files. Republicans blocked it both times. These are people who rode these conspiracy theories into office. Now when we ask them about it, they look at their shoes. They won't make eye contact. They know they're wrong.
No one should have to jump through hoops to cancel a subscription. Big business knows that making it harder to cancel = less cancellations. That's why they've been against Lina Khan's "click-to-cancel" rule. Tell Trump's FTC: We want #ClickToCancel.
Asking our law enforcement officers to identify what agency they work for and have clearly-displayed badge numbers is common sense.
