Victory in Virginia – now we need to win the new maps →

  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION!  PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO DEFEAT TRUMP  AND HIS SCHEMES TO RIG THE ELECTIONS! I reached out to this team last week to ask for volunteer help ahead of Virginia’s redistricting referendum — and you stepped up, big-time, so you should feel proud of this victory:   Tonight, Virginia voters made it clear that Donald Trump can’t be allowed to rig the midterms in his own party’s favor.    With these new maps, there are  four  new target districts in play for Democrats in 2026.    That’s a big deal — but let’s be clear, these aren’t just “gimmes” for Democratic candidates. The districts have been made more competitive, but we still have to put in the hard work between now and November to make sure we flip them blue.   My team is already hard at work mapping out how we’ll support new Democratic challengers who are fighting to flip red seats, and I can’t wait to hit the campaign ...

I just visited Dilley detention center

  Last summer, teenagers Antonio and Caleb Gámez-Cuéllar performed on Capitol Hill at the invitation of their Member of Congress. While they were in DC, they visited the White House.   Less than a year later, they had been detained and unjustly put in ICE custody.    Caleb and his parents, along with a younger brother, were at the Dilley detention center in South Texas for more than a week. Antonio wasn’t with them — he’s 18, and had been taken to a different detention center for adults.    I visited Dilley today with some of my fellow House Democrats, and I am so relieved to be able to say that the entire Gámez-Cuéllar family is coming home. The Gámez-Cuéllar family followed the rules. They came into the country at a border crossing in Brownsville and claimed asylum. They attended court dates and check-ins.   ICE detained them anyway — like so many others.   Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are asking us to believe their brutal immigration enforc...

Wives should submit to their husbands — oh, and not vote.

   Warning — if you don’t want to be enraged to the point of seeing red, you might want to delete this email right now. Still reading? Here’s a headline for you: This pastor — who we’ve had the displeasure of discussing before, last time Pete Hegseth lifted up his twisted views — is our Defense Secretary’s (sorry,  War  Secretary’s) personal spiritual leader.  On top of his disturbing and shameful views on slavery — he actually describes himself as a “paleo-confederate” — this guy also thinks we should criminalize homosexuality, and he has a whole lot to say about women and our  role in society . Wives should submit to their husbands. The 19th Amendment should be repealed because granting women the right to vote was a “bad idea.”  To be extremely clear: My role in society isn’t to submit to a man. It’s to be a Member of Congress. And a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Africa. And a member of the Ho...
