The epidemic of gun violence in this country is unacceptable and cannot be normalized. I’m thankful to have the endorsement of Stop Gun Violence. Together, I am hopeful we can make progress towards eliminating gun violence in this country.

Trump may not literally be stealing Christmas this year, but he might as well be, as his economic policies have massively raised the costs of the gifts we give and the food we put on our table, all so billionaires can buy more yachts. His heart is indeed two sizes too small.

The DOJ is required to release the Epstein files today. But given their total disregard for the rule of law, they cannot be trusted. House Oversight Dems must be determined and diligent. The survivors—and the American people—deserve no less.

Corporations are making record profits even as the real economy tanks and working families are facing soaring costs. Trump’s tax giveaways to big businesses and the wealthy are driving this growing inequality, and this is not sustainable. It’s time to put average Americans first again.

🚨BREAKING:

We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.

The rule of law will prevail.

Across the nation, families are bracing for a massive spike in their health care costs. Meanwhile, Republicans are making vacation plans and the Trump family is raking in billions in bribes from foreign governments and businesses.

What’s on Trump’s Xmas list this year?: 

✈️ $400m private jet 
🏛️ $300m ballroom 
🕰️ Solid gold Rolex
💰 Engraved gold bars

But Trump is on the naughty list, so instead of asking Santa, he asked a bunch of foreign governments instead!

It was wonderful spending the evening with the @dpoc.bsky.social in my home city of Irvine. Always grateful to celebrate with people who embody the true meaning of the holidays– welcoming the stranger, helping those in need, and fighting for a kinder, more inclusive community.

Americans are dealing with soaring costs and a stagnant job market, so naturally, Donald Trump is laser focused on building a gilded ballroom and renovating DC’s golf courses.

Big thanks to ICV College Dems for hosting me for a Q&A session last week. I‘m always grateful for the chance to hear from the next generation of leaders. Our democracy is stronger when young people are engaged and their voices are heard.

In the real world, families are being hammered by soaring costs and a flailing economy. Meanwhile, Trump- who appears mentally impaired- is living in a fantasy land where the economy is in “A+++++” territory and concerns about rising costs are a “hoax.”

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and joyful Hanukkah!

Our democracy depends on a clear separation of powers. Donald Trump, with the full support of a corrupt and partisan Supreme Court, is defying the Constitution and asserting the powers of a dictator. This cannot stand. #NoKings

Fantasy FB playoffs have begun!

In our freshmen House league, it’s me vs. Johnny O (I’m on the right w/ a HUGE night from Kyle Pitts Sr.) and @mannionforny.bsky.social vs. @mcdonaldrivet.bsky.social.

@juliejohnsontx.bsky.social & @suhasforvirginia.bsky.social finished 1/2 and have a bye.

This #ThrowbackThursday, I want to highlight REM’s classic “Everybody Hurts,” which is particularly timely given the pain Trump’s economic policies are causing us all this holiday season. Whether it’s toys for our kids or the food on our table, everything costs way more.

“Look, don’t be dramatic,” says the billionaire who’s never had to worry about putting food on the table for his family.
Trump to holiday shoppers concerned about high prices:

"Look, don't be dramatic."

Thank you to the @centralocdems.bsky.social for inviting me to your annual holiday brunch and toy drive. I know this has been a no-good very-bad year for most Americans, but it was good to spend time celebrating the season with this awesome community.

Costs have soared because of Trump’s tariffs. Now, he wants to increase them even more as we approach the holidays. 

Yes, Trump is trying to steal Christmas from America.

Over 80% of Iranians in the US have family members back in Iran, yet they often can’t reach them due to censorship and internet blackouts. 

@repyassansari.bsky.social and I shared why my new bill, the FREEDOM Act, is necessary, and why we must do all we can to support internet connectivity in Iran.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs and creating jobs. Instead, he’s focused on tax cuts for billionaires, terrorizing immigrant communities and grifting.

The results? 1.1 million lost jobs (!), higher prices everywhere, and no accountability anywhere.

No, you’re not imagining it. Your Thanksgiving dinner was more expensive this year, thanks to Donald Trump’s “give billionaires more yacht money” economic policies.

While serving as Acting US Attorney, Bill Essayli allegedly engaged in a pattern of misconduct and abuse of power to target Trump’s political critics.

This is unacceptable and wrong. That’s why I am leading an effort to hold Essayli accountable.

Alina Habba is the latest US Attorney found to have been unlawfully appointed. Pro tip for Trump: if you’re struggling to get your GOP Senate to confirm your nominations, maybe try nominating people who aren’t completely unqualified and/or won’t break the law at every turn?

Whether it’s last week’s Guardsmen shooting or yesterday’s mass shooting in Stockton, there’s too much damn gun violence in this country. While I'm praying for the victims and their loved ones, this is not enough.

The US is the only advanced country to have this level of gun violence. Enough.
