Public transportation expands access to economic and social opportunity, yet fear of harassment—from unwanted comments to sexual assault and other forms of violence—can discourage many Americans from using these essential services. In the California State Senate, Rep. Min led the effort to pass a new law requiring the state’s largest transit systems to collect data on passenger harassment, revealing that such incidents disproportionately affect marginalized communities and often go unreported. This bill builds on that progress by mandating ongoing, nationwide data collection and reporting to better equip transit agencies to protect passengers, increase ridership, and ensure sustainable transit systems. “Public transportation should be safe and accessible for everyone,” said Rep. Min . “No one should have to choose between getting to work, school, or home and risking harassment or intimidation on transit. But for too many riders—especially women, racial minorities, LGBTQ communities, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups—sexual harassment and violence on public transportation remain an everyday reality. We cannot build strong transit systems if people do not feel safe using them.” "Hate and harassment on public transit remains a serious problem, but it has been difficult to address because we can’t fix what we don’t measure,” said Co-Founder of Stop AAPI Hate and Co-Executive Director of Chinese for Affirmative Action Cynthia Choi . “The Safe Transit For All Act fills a critical information gap across state and local transit agencies, giving

Rep. Min and Sen. Welch sent letters to 17 individuals who received pardons or commutations under circumstances that warrant further congressional scrutiny, including several individuals connected to major fraud schemes, financial crimes, and high-profile political or financial relationships tied to President Trump and his associates. The letters seek information regarding the clemency process, including whether financial contributions, lobbyists, intermediaries, or personal connections played a role in securing presidential clemency. “Executive clemency has historically been understood as an act of grace exercised in the interest of justice and the public welfare, but it cannot become a tool for political favoritism, corruption, or pay-to-play dealings,” said Rep. Min and Senator Welch. “At a moment when Americans are already losing faith in our institutions, Congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight and ensure that no one, including a sitting President, is above accountability.” The letters seek information regarding: The process by which clemency requests were initiated and considered; Whether intermediaries, lobbyists, or advocates were involved; Any contacts with Trump administration officials or associates; Whether financial contributions or
