SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION

It has been a long and emotional week on Capitol Hill, and I’m thankful to be headed home to NM for my district work.

Before I hop on a plane, I want to give you a recap on what’s going on: the latest on Epstein—the survivors, Pam Bondi, the unredacted files, DHS, Tariffs, and so much more. ⬇️

He knows what’s on the horizon come November…
A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.

Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

It is astonishing to me how every time I tell people that the lack of political giving is killing grassroots orgs, I get hundreds of replies saying Dems need to remove Schumer.

You know who else wants to remove Schumer? Many of the grassroots orgs that are dying because of the lack of giving.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

As a concerned citizen I would like to know why the federal government, in this case the FAA, announced an airspace closure in and around ElPaso, a city of 700,000 people, to begin with? All flights were supposedly grounded for 10 days, including medevac flights. What is this going on here?

Everybody please get involved. With this lawless government trying to erode our constitutional rights and erase our elections it’s up to all of us now to insert ourselves into this conversation. Contact your elected officials and let them know you’re informed and watching.

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

The Bad Bunny halftime show at Super Bowel LX was absolutely fantastic! Besides the refreshingly upbeat music it was amazing to see the diversity and inclusion of so many wonderful performers.

🗳️ Trump and Republicans are pushing extreme voting limits that could silence millions.

The real threat isn’t fraud—it’s voter prevention. 👉 Take action now: goto.powertothepeoplenews.org/3Oc752c

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

If you agree with this then act now and send it to Congress. It’s the easiest way to let your members of Congress know your thoughts on DHS. I know they receive it because they send emails back explaining what they’re doing about this issue.
