Former Congresswoman @marienewman.bsky.social writes about the bizarre lack of an HR dept. to oversee hiring, salary ranges, abusive relationships, etc., in the House of Representatives. Each Rep is the sole boss of their staff, nowhere else to turn. Good read.

🚨 Breaking: House Natural Resources SHUT DOWN over Don Jr. Subpoena! 🚨
We know Trump and his family are lining their own pockets with corrupt government deals. But, when we tried to subpoena his Jr. to answer questions today, Republicans shut it down. ⬇️
It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
R leadership is hiding something by not swearing in Adelita Grijalva.
I think we demand another list be released: Trump’s enemy list. If he’s so proud of this, he should share.
Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...
I’m signed on. Thank you to the Epstein survivors who courageously shared their stories and their resilience on the Hill today. The American people deserve the truth and you deserve justice. If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.
Let's get one thing clear: the reason Democrats want to release the Epstein Files is because we believe in protecting victims, not abusers.
I don't give a damn who's in those files: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, they must be brought to justice.
Release ALL the files & release them NOW.
RFK Jr is a piece of shit.
Donald Trump is the most anti-worker President in history.
From tax giveaways to CEOs and billionaires, to gutting workers rights, he puts those at the top first.
While the Pacific Northwest burns, Border Patrol is arresting firefighters. This is the reality of Trump’s cruel immigration machine—targeting brave first responders & leaving our communities vulnerable. I’m demanding answers from Kristi Noem and her agency about the lives they’ve put on the line.
When Andrew Jackson sent Native Americans on the Trail of Tears, it was a policy choice.
When the British diverted food away from the Irish during The Great Hunger, it was a policy choice.
The starvation & death in Gaza is no different. This is a policy choice & our government is complicit in it.
Thank you @murray.senate.gov for the idea of how to communicate to our Republican colleagues & thank YOU for your attention to this matter.

'No tax on tips' is just a Republican talking point — here's why.
(with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social)
Listen to AOC. Repost ad infinitum. Call your Representative (202-224-3121).
A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage www.propublica.org/article/texa...
President Trump's unilateral decision to strike Iran is blatantly unconstitutional.
There's a reason why the Founders only gave Congress the power to declare war. The American people deserve a say in whether or not their children get sent into another foreign war.
Read my full statement:
The American people must get a say in if we send their kids, family & friends to fight in another foreign war. That's why the Founders only gave Congress the power to declare war.
This week, I joined @khanna.house.gov & Rep. Massie to stop our involvement in another war without a vote by Congress.
All three of WI’s Dems signed on 👀
I have joined @khanna.house.gov & Rep. Massie to stop our involvement in another war without a vote by Congress.
I've always said, under both parties, only Congress can declare war.
I will not send more of our kids to die in wars started by people whose kids aren't putting their lives on the line.
This was a targeted political assassination. Every single Republican needs to condemn this violence before more people end up dead.
Resign now, Kristi Noem.
🌈 Happy Pride Month ♥️
This reverse Robin Hood scheme won’t grow our economy but it will grow inequality. Shame on every House Republican who voted for it.
My statement on the charges against @replamonica.bsky.social.
Rep. McIver was doing her constitutional duty. I stand with her and believe every American should be alarmed.
You can't treat your workers like crap & expect them to stay.
Today, our skies are less safe because hostile work environments have pushed many air traffic controllers to leave.
I asked the FAA how they planned to retain these talented civil servants & make sure they felt valued in their work.
