Over 90% of all deepfake videos made are non-consensual s*xually explicit images. Women are targeted 9 times out of 10. The DEFIANCE Act would be the first federal protection for survivors of deepfake p*rn*gr*phy — allowing them to seek the justice they deserve.

Today, we were honored to recognize Rear Admiral and SUNY Maritime College President Michael A. Alfultis on the House Floor for his years of service and to celebrate his retirement. President Alfultis' leadership has transformed SUNY Maritime College, shaped the future of the maritime workforce, and directly impacted our district. We're especially grateful for his commitment to climate, investing $100 million in climate-focused organizations. We extend our deepest gratitude to President Alfutis for his dedicated service to our country, academic institutions, and community. His leadership and contributions have been invaluable.

🚨The American Climate Corps is finally here! This massive achievement serves as a reminder of the power of organizing – of what we can accomplish when young people, climate advocates, labor organizers, and working people of all backgrounds come together to demand that we fight back against climate change. Thousands of young people can now take part in building a clean energy and climate-resilient future in their own communities and across the nation. #AmericanClimateCorps #GreenNewDeal

For 738 days, Ukraine has been fighting back against Putin — a battle global democracy cannot lose. But U.S. aid to Ukraine has been wrongly tied to unconditional support for Netanyahu's assault on Gaza. It’s time for Congress to vote on stand-alone aid for Ukraine.

The Biden administration just announced a plan for 30 MILLION student loan borrowers to receive debt relief. This would allow so many people with student debt to buy houses, start a family, go back to school, and so much more.

The core values of global democracy — what makes us different from authoritarian regimes — are the upholding of civil and human rights, rule of law, and equal protection of all people. That is why the U.S. cannot in good conscience allow our resources to enable a mass famine in Gaza, which imperils Palestinians and hostages alike. It's also why we must seek a #CeasefireNOW and respect existing U.S. laws that place important conditions on U.S. military aid.

Housing is not just a privilege—it’s a human right. But right now too many families are struggling to afford a place to call home. The Homes Act will change that. #TheHomesAct #FYP #housingmarket #housingcrisis #realestate

This marks an important step in the fight to protect survivors of nonconsensual deepfake pornography. Over 90% of all deepfake videos made are nonconsensual sexually explicit images, and women are the targets 9 times out of 10. The DEFIANCE Act would guarantee federal protections for survivors of nonconsensual deepfake pornography for the first time, granting the right to take civil action against individuals who knowingly produce, distribute, or receive nonconsensual sexually-explicit digital forgeries. I’m glad the U.S. Senate united to pass the DEFIANCE Act. I'm committed to collaborating with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to shepherd the bill through the House of Representatives to get it to the President’s desk. Together, we can give survivors the justice they deserve. #deepfake #ai #houseofrepresentatives #senate #aoc

Why was the Secret Service’s protective perimeter in Butler shorter than the range of an AR-15? It does not take 60 days to answer that question. The agency’s failure to publicly account for these questions and others from Congress is unacceptable. Director Cheatle should resign. #secretservice

Some of my GOP colleagues said the quiet part out loud — they are more concerned with the prosperity of big companies than the prosperity of the American people. People come before profits. Kids should come before the CEO of DuPont. Everyone deserves clean air and water.

Corruption, without consequence, infects all it touches. To contain it, Congress must exercise its powers to impeach. The longstanding patterns of corruption from Justices Thomas and Alito constitute a clear and present danger to American democracy. Today I moved to impeach them - not out of party, and not because I am blind to the odds. But because it is the right thing to do for the American people. #supremecourt

Two years post-Roe, and to no surprise, extremists are passing forced birth laws to cut off abortion services—including for victims of rape, incest, and child abuse—and pregnant people are being PUSHED TO DEATH’S DOOR due to delayed access to medical care. People are dying because of this reckless and political SCOTUS decision, but we will not stop until abortion rights are restored and protected for all Americans. #roevwade

Nine unelected Supreme Court justices. Zero forms of true accountability for misconduct. For far too long, personal relationships, dark money, and corporate interest have influenced Supreme Court decisions impacting everyday Americans. From lavish trips for Justice Thomas, paid for by billionaire Harlan Crow, to Justice Alito flying an upside-down American flag over his house signaling his allegiance to Donald Trump—the behavior is truly out of control. In Congress, we typically cannot accept gifts over $50, and rightfully so. Yesterday, Oversight Dems made our message clear: enough is enough. We need to address this crisis of corruption and restore public trust in our highest court.
