Rep Jerry Nadler (NY-12)
Spoke at the “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Lawless Third Country Disappearances” People’s Hearing hosted by the Ranking member of the Immigration Integrity, Security, and EnforcementSsubcommittee, Rep Pramila Jayapal (WA-07).
Becca Balint (VT-AL), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Chuy García (IL-04), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Glenn Ivey (MD-04), Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Deborah Ross (NC-02), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Mark Takano (CA-39), and Juan Vargas (CA-52) spoke at the hearing as well.
And you can watch the whole thing below.
I wish there was a way that we could know about every single one of these hearings, there seem to be at least a couple every single day, and I feel like I only know about one every few weeks.

Rep Raul Ruiz (CA-25)
Is taking TACO to a new level. It’s not just about DT chickening out on following through with tariffs for him. It’s about the things we care about like healthcare and veterans. The things that people who voted for him thought he was gonna protect. Brilliant reframing.

Reps Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) and Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)
Explain what’s happening with baby formula. The HHS employees who oversee infant formula safety have been laid off, and guardrails have been removed. These two along with Reps Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) are leading the charge.
Reps Seth Magaziner (RI-02), Delia Ramirez (IL-03), Robert Garcia (CA-42)
A sounding the alarm about the abduction of Andry Romero and telling his story in the Homeland Security Committee. I know people think that Democrats aren’t focusing on him, but I promise they are.
And finally…
(CA)
Spoke on the floor of the house today against the administration renaming every navy ship named for a person of color or a queer person or someone who has fought for what is right in America. choosing to make this announcement during Pride Month was no coincidence.

And those are just some of our fighters today!
Remember tomorrow is my day off so start looking for stories to share tomorrow!
If you made it to the end of this post comment with 🍼 (baby bottle) because formula should be the most regulated thing not the least.
And if you watched or read any of the stories comment with 💇🏻 (haircut) because our Dems will make sure Andry Romero comes home.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
