“This is amateur hour.” @wassermanschultz.house.gov shares why the Trump administration is putting us in a dangerous situation with Iran:

The idea that Brad Lander, the nerdiest guy to hold the nerdiest office in city government, is out brawling with ICE paramilitaries doesn’t pass the laugh test. Plus there’s video.

Slashing funding for the LGBTQ+ crisis hotline is a heartbreaking blow. NJ counselors warn these cuts will cost lives. When people have the strength to ask for help, we must stand with them, and against policies that put our community’s mental health—and lives—on the line.

My "Personal Liberty Law" for the MAGA era is simple: if local police see what looks like a kidnapping, they should treat it like a kidnapping (including interceding with force) unless/until they have *actual knowledge* (verbal declarations don't count) that the "abductors" are in fact other LEOs.

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

I know there's a lot going on right now and one thing that's going on is the Trump admin is trying to roll back rules for making new buildings accessible. There are six days left to make comments about it.

Republicans are denying hungry moms and kids healthy food to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. In today's Appropriations hearing, I told them: You don't balance a budget on the backs of babies.
