HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of Arizonans gathered in downtown Phoenix to say “Hands Off!” to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s assault on our country. The power of people will always win.

I’m on my way back to the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona. I’m going to check on my constituent, Yari, who is sick with leukemia, and demand that ICE release the results of her October oncology visit.

We’re in Day 36 of the government shutdown and ICE has said they are not taking visits from Members of Congress.

My constituent, Yari, is sick with leukemia and we are not getting answers. After some insisting, I was let in and I was with her for two hours.

Full recap soon.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

This weekend, rent was due, and 42 million Americans lost access to SNAP benefits. Trump and Republicans are letting children and families go hungry.

So we show up for each other. Thank you Puente for making sure our neighbors have food on the table.

Federal judges just ruled Trump must release the billions in SNAP funding he’s illegally withholding.

Heading home to Phoenix to support the food banks and community health centers making sure families have what they need.

Shared something close to my heart at TEDx today. So grateful for my team for helping me shape this one. ❤️

My family fled authoritarianism to find freedom in the United States.

Now I’m fighting to protect it with millions who know that real power comes from us—the people.

There are #NoKings in America.

Live on @msnbc.com from Phoenix where people showed up to say: no kings, no dictators, and no ICE terrorizing our communities.

This is what democracy looks like and it’s the best of America.

7 million people marched today—the biggest protest in U.S. history. Donald Trump isn’t a strongman. He’s the weakest, most unpopular president we’ve ever had. Don’t let anyone forget it.

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

My parents fled an authoritarian regime—I know that attacking free speech is part 1 of the playbook.

I led over half the caucus and @wgawest.bsky.social in a resolution condemning the firing of Jimmy Kimmel, this blatant attack on free speech and opposing authoritarian government censorship.

I just voted NO on the Republican CR because it does nothing to restore healthcare for millions of Americans.

Alex Acosta cut Epstein a sweetheart plea deal, then served in Trump’s Cabinet. Today he showed zero remorse and dodged accountability at every turn.

Because of that deal, Epstein kept abusing and raping girls. This is why we need the full files—now.

Praise of the Week: @yassaminansari.bsky.social for demanding accountability in the Epstein & Maxwell case. Sheltering abusers from consequences is not "law & order". Thank you for showing our priority must be the safety of abuse victims! #POTW #AZIndivisibles #AZPolitics
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell abused hundreds if not thousands of vulnerable children. Trump giving Maxwell sweetheart deals is part of the White House’s massive coverup. She must never be pardoned.

Survivors spoke out. The truth is there. And Speaker Mike Johnson is doing everything he can to help the Trump White House hide it.

While we can’t share details to safeguard privacy, what we heard today from survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s decades of abuse was horrifying.

As the youngest woman in Congress, I’m committed to protecting the next generation of girls. We demand the full files, names, and answers.

Just left the press conference with Epstein and Maxwell survivors on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Don’t let Trump gaslight you: the corruption is real and we need full transparency and justice.

Yari, my constituent with leukemia, is coughing up blood at the Eloy Detention Center–and still hasn’t been allowed to see an oncologist.

Denying urgent medical care is inhumane. I’m calling on ICE to let her see a specialist immediately.

Mental health is not an issue that is unique to the United States. Guns are. That’s why our kids are dying.

Minnesota today. Tomorrow, somewhere else. We shouldn’t have to live like this.

Major update on our Epstein Files subpoena.

Just a few hours ago the Oversight Committee received the first batch of documents. It’s days late and incomplete. We were supposed to get the entire thing. Where is it?

Enough with the bullshit—we need full transparency now.
