Youngest woman in Congress. Official @repyassansari Fighting for people. Proudly representing AZ-03🌵 Former Phoenix Vice Mayor & UN climate advisor.
I did this interview just minutes before the NYT reported that Trump’s illegal bombing has only set Iran’s nuclear program back by a few months. Just an all around massive, unconstitutional, reckless foreign policy blunder at the hands of our reality show president.
Ansari: The fact that our president can go on social media and call for regime change, call for evacuation, then call for peace. This isn't how foreign policy should ever be conducted. It is chaotic. It terrifies people around the world.
The intensifying starvation in Gaza and attacks on people seeking food are horrifying and must end. Gazans should be able to access aid at humanitarian sites without fear of being gunned down. Netanyahu must stop this. Trump must stop finger-pointing and commit to real…
The same DOJ that refused to release the Epstein files… now expects us to trust a backroom interview with Ghislaine Maxwell… led by Trump’s former defense attorney? Nah. It’s a cover-up.
CNN: This is video of Maxwell returning to prison after meeting with Trump’s Deputy AG and you can see her there carrying a box of material
Congress is shut down until September bc Republicans would rather protect Trump & bury the Epstein files than do their jobs. Meanwhile, I got highlights✨and I’m heading home to AZ to kick off our Accountability Town Hall Tour in CD1. See ya Saturday: mobilize.us/yassaminforcon…🌵
Even though ICE is trying to deny us access to our constituents, Democrats will not back down. I'm going to continue fighting for answers and make sure my constituents in ICE detention facilities are being treated with dignity and getting the care they need.
📣 BIG NEWS: @gregstantonaz is joining me and @MelanieforNM this Saturday in Scottsdale for our Accountability Summer Town Hall. We’ll break down the Trump budget that Rep. David Schweikert proudly voted for— and what it means for AZ families. RSVP at mobilize.us/s/6QEjYU
Today’s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president. It’s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court — but it just doesn't work that way:
The truth is going to come out, despite Trump’s relentless effort to hide it and protect his pals from accountability.
🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
All Republicans just voted against Rep. @RepYassAnsari's amendment. This would require coaches to report to Title IX coordinators anytime they have reason to believe a student is being abused, which could have prevented the abuse of many athletes at Ohio State University.
Hmmmm…interesting that @andybiggs4az who’s running to be Governor of Arizona is trying to protect pedophiles from accountability. Disgusting.
NEW: Sumer Lee's motion to subpoena the Epstein files passes 8-2. GOP Reps. Mace, Jack and Perry voted with Democrats. GOP Reps. Higgins and Biggs voted no.
🚨BREAKING: FORK FOUND IN KITCHEN 👀🍴
Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files on.wsj.com/4mcTIKV
This is all even sicker and more depraved when you remember it’s all to protect a Jeffrey Epstein and his pedophile ring due to Trump’s associations with him
Reporter: The senate intelligence committee unanimously agreed in bipartisan fashion that there was no political interference. There was a year's long justice department investigation that also concluded no political interference. What do you now have that refutes those?…
I tried to propose an amendment adding the Epstein files as a case study on human trafficking. Epstein was convicted of child sex crimes… Republicans pulled their entire bill instead. What are they so desperate to hide? This is truly wild and disturbing stuff.
New: Epstein drama is leading into the Education and Workforce panel. Republicans pulled a human trafficking related bill and the panel is now in recess. Dem Reps. Bonamici and Ansari had planned to intro amendments on releasing the Epstein files.
ICE blocked @RepYassAnsari from visiting the Eloy Detention Center. My office continues to get calls from people suffering serious medical neglect in there. We rely on our partnership with the Congresswoman to get people help. This is wrong! kjzz.org/politics/2025-…
🚨Kash Patel lied in his confirmation hearings. He claimed the FBI must be independent but now they are doing Trump's bidding and even scrubbing mentions of him from the Epstein files. Even his own FBI agents admit that such direction from the president would be inconsistent…
Congresswoman @yassaminansari is hosting a town hall tour in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Tucson. Four cities, one week. RSVP for the Tucson event here - mobilize.us/yassaminforcon…
Big news! I’m thrilled to have my friend and colleague @MelanieforNM joining me at the first stop of our Accountability Summer Town Hall Tour in Scottsdale. Join us this Saturday to talk about what’s at stake and how we fight back. 💪🏽 🔗 Sign up: mobilize.us/yassaminforcon…
Glad to see Republicans are soooo concerned with using our time to get things done for the American people! Now we're here with no votes and no plan because they can't figure out their own chaos.
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
In Arizona, working families are struggling to pay rent, keep the AC on, and get healthcare when they are sick. It's the same story across the country. I'm so proud to chair the new Lowering Costs Task Force with the Congressional Progressive Caucus to deliver bold solutions to…
🚨Four cities. One week. One mission: Accountability. AZ Republicans voted for Trump’s bill gutting health care & jobs to give tax breaks to billionaires. My Accountability Summer Town Hall Tour kicks off July 26 in Scottsdale. RSVP at mobilize.us/yassaminforcon…
