Today marks the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark Supreme Court decision affirming marriage equality nationwide. I will always defend the rights and dignity of LGBTQI+ Americans and push back against the right-wing extremism that discriminates against Americans.

NEW: @RepAOC introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House and has nine original co-sponsors 😍 We've had some big local wins against data centers, but we need a national pause on Big Tech’s exploitation. Tell Congress to support the bill: fwwat.ch/3MRRoMY

The Supreme Court has allowed Trump to end protected status for Haitians. @CitizenCohn spoke to home healthcare worker Maryse, who cares for a 96-year-old in South Florida, who faces deportation with this ruling.

Chief Justice Roberts has transformed the Supreme Court into a disgusting and embarrassing institution. Today's decisions are an absolute betrayal of American commitments and values. John Roberts, you need to resign.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision ripped away the right to abortion care. This decision enabled Republicans to enact abortion bans across the country causing far too many women to be denied lifesaving care and face life-altering and deadly consequences.

The pay-for-play President has spawned a cottage industry of influence peddling, for a price. We talked about this last year (see below). The grift machine has only gotten worse.

FIRST ON CBS: When President Trump returned to power, a group of his former campaign and administration officials started a federal lobbying practice. Mo Strategies, which has registered an array of corporate clients, is now expanding into the newly-lucrative world of pardons.

The President is holding hostage the largest bipartisan housing bill in a generation to force Congress to pass his unpopular plan to restrict voting rights. Trump is the single greatest impediment to American progress. He doesn't care about making life affordable for people.

Last week, I sent a letter to Sec. Mullin and USCIS Director Edlow demanding to know why they were delaying the processing of DACA work authorizations. The delays have tripled the typical response time by USCIS and risked the livelihoods and legal status of thousands of

I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable. The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

Good. Immigrants attempting to follow immigration laws should not be punished for their good faith efforts. The systematic arrest of immigrants attending court hearings and other appointments related to their status violates fundamental values of fairness. These arrests

Today is Juneteenth – a day worth commemorating but also a day when I reflect on the cruel reality that it represents: justice denied. Much like the delay slaves endured in Texas to get their freedom following the Emancipation Proclamation, many of the rights we have now didn’t
