Democrats need to stop repeating Trump's propaganda by referring to his Bullshit Budget Bill as the "Beautiful Bill". It is the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to billionaires in history. It will kill people with its cuts to medicaid and food assistance. Call it for what it is!

Just full out Nazi propaganda from the official DHS account. Do not look away. Do not downplay it.

I’m going to keep fighting to get into this ICE-run facility. The Trump admin can try to block me, but I won’t stop until we transparency—and make sure the rights of hardworking migrant families and citizens aren’t being violated.

We are not letting them gut services that working people rely on, while writing blank checks for the ultra-wealthy and their anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.

I swore an oath to protect the Constitution, the same oath that Secretary Noem took. Clearly, she has forgotten it.
So I had to remind her in committee today.

Trump’s team is threatening to ARREST members of Congress for conducting oversight. That’s not democracy — that’s dictatorship.
We’re not backing down and neither will you. We’ll speak up, show up, and peacefully protest to protect our rights.

Secretary Noem wouldn’t even look at the doctored evidence Trump used to deport a Maryland man to a death camp. If they’ll lie to justify that, they’ll lie to lock anyone up. We’re not going away. We’re bringing the truth to light.

🚨 I have just introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Donald Trump is not above the law, and when he ignores the constitution, he should be held accountable.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.
Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

The Republican “SAVE Act” isn’t just unnecessary (citizenship is already a voting requirement) — it would also disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens who don’t have passports or access to their birth certificate, or who recently changed their name.
It’s dead on arrival in the Senate.

If the Trump Admin was able to illegally abduct Kilmar Abrego Garcia and send him to El Salvador in 72 hours, then they can sure as hell bring him home in less than that.
Their foot-dragging on complying with court orders is unacceptable. They need to bring Kilmar home NOW.

Make no mistake: this will destroy America's leadership in scientific research & innovation. It CANNOT happen.

How many times will the GOP bail out billionaires while working Americans foot the bill?
Tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Special treatment for corporations. Market games that leave families behind.
This isn’t about helping people it’s about protecting power and profit at any cost.

I'm asking the questions we all want answers to.
At 9:37 AM, Trump told his followers to buy stocks. The market was tanking. The Trade Rep was set to defend harmful tariffs.Mid-hearing—Trump flips. No warning. Not even to his top trade official.
This isn’t leadership. It’s chaos.

This morning, my colleagues and I on Ways and Means spoke on the alarming signs of market manipulation. Retirements tanked. Small businesses got hit. Billionaires cashed in. This isn’t policy, it’s exploitation. And I’m calling it out.

The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊

additionally, it is more important now than ever that people set the motherfucking record straight on what is fact and what is fiction considering Trump and his goons want to erase every facet of history and mold it to their own benefit. everything adds up and if you won't help, get out of the way.
