On the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, Chairman @RepEspaillat and Democratic Leader @RepJeffries convened Latino leaders from UnidosUS, Latino Victory Project, LULAC, Voto Latino, Mi Familia Vota, NALEO Educational Fund, Hispanic Federation & America’s Voice.
A powerful conversation on protecting our communities, strengthening our economy, defending the right to vote, and building a stronger future for the Latino community.

A win for justice. A win for democracy. A win for the people of Missouri.
It is my hope that state officials will start following court orders and end this shameful attempt to break Missouri law and silence Missouri voters.

As I move to physical rehabilitation, sharing a message with the thousands who shared good wishes from our community, across our region, our country, and around the world. It's made a huge difference in my very rapid recovery. Each of you continue to uplift my spirit as we move forward. Thank you!

I'm urging President Donald Trump to approve California's request for a Federal Emergency Declaration in response to the ongoing toxic chemical incident, known as the “Western Incident,” at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, California. The severity of this disaster requires additional coordination and federal support. The safety, security, and well-being of evacuated residents and the surrounding communities remain my absolute highest priority.

Thankful to @RepJeffries for welcoming me into his office in DC for an important conversation about the urgency of protecting our democracy.
While the GOP looks out for wealthy oligarchs, we're putting the needs of working people at the forefront of our fight.

Black athletes have helped build college athletics into one of the most powerful and profitable industries in American life.
Institutions that profit from Black talent and Black communities have a responsibility to stand with those communities when their fundamental rights are under attack. Silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality — it is complicity.

Trump's DOJ just criminally indicted James Comey for a beach photo of seashells and no other evidence cited.
If that’s a crime in America, then what is:
-calling the free speech of six Democratic Members of Congress “seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH”?
-suggesting a former Republican Member of Congress should have to "face nine barrels shooting at her" with “the guns trained on her face”?
Todd Blanche just said the beach-shell conspiracy “is the kind of conduct we will NEVER tolerate and we will ALWAYS investigate and prosecute.”
Can we therefore expect investigations and prosecutions of these threats?

The scale of this President's corruption is unprecedented.
The cover-up of the Epstein files. Crypto scams. Cozying up to billionaires for ballrooms.
It's crystal clear: the President is working for himself — not the American people.

Please take a minute to read this heartbreaking statement from Nurse Pretti’s family.
After their son was killed in broad daylight, they are now forced to defend him against this administration’s lies.
It’s another reason why Senate Democrats are united in rejecting this DHS spending bill.

I am here in Minneapolis-St. Paul to chair an accountability hearing on the brutality and violence that Trump’s ICE is inflicting on the community. We will not back down.

I can assure the public no one is suffering from CDS.
There was one reported case in Kentucky. But we have isolated that to one man with low brain function.
At this time we do not expect it to spread beyond this one individual.

Trump is targeting the nonpartisan Chair of the Federal Reserve because Powell won’t bend to his demands.
Trump’s political interference is an abuse of power and a threat to our economy.
American families can’t afford more of Trump’s economic sabotage.

House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration's recent strikes in Nigeria.

For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.
I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The building is statutorily named the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Congress did not give the board the authority to change the name.

Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
The Justice Department estimated that this represents 4.5 billion doses of cocaine and that he was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
He is responsible for the deaths of countless American citizens, and will now be pardoned by Donald Trump.
Don’t tell me Donald Trump is killing people in boats in the Caribbean to stop drug trafficking.
