In the name of safety, trucking companies are monitoring employees using AI.

I'm concerned this technology could be used to monitor everything from individuals' health to union organizing.

So I pressed the top executive of one of the companies pioneering this technology ⬇️

A man who voted for Trump says: “they are basically taking everyone in there working, whether they have proper documentation or not.”

The result:
Construction delays.
Higher prices.
Layoffs.

Donald Trump is running a government of, by, and for the Epstein class.

It must end.

Three numbers every American should know today.

Bezos paid Trump $40 million for the 'Melania' documentary.

Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts.

While 17 million Americans lose health care.

Corruption, plain and simple.

If Kristi Noem’s disaster preparedness plan has to be paused when there’s a disaster, it’s not a plan.

It’s a disaster.

Fire Kristi Noem. Save FEMA.

We just learned Kristi Noem’s “fiscal responsibility policies” are holding up $17 billion in approved disaster funds.

She’s preventing roads from being repaired and bridges from being fixed.

All while spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on ad campaigns to promote herself.

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts.

All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation.

Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

You should also know what happened next.

Children and families are being held in ICE facilities with inhumane conditions. We should be closing them — not building more.

@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and I are opposed to any expansion of ICE’s presence in San Antonio.

We’ll fight with every tool we have to prevent it.

Jeff Bezos gave Trump $40 million by buying the 'Melania' documentary through Amazon.

Last week, it premiered.

Now, Trump's 'Secretary of War' visits Bezos' Blue Origin, which gets billions in government contracts.

Trump gets paid. Taxpayers get screwed.

While carrying out Trump’s cruel deportation policies, Kristi Noem is holding up $17 billion in disaster funds.

That’s stuff like: fixing bridges and water and sewer systems.

This is a scandal.

Under any other president, this would be treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

A foreign government giving hundreds of millions of dollars directly to the Trumps.

He promised to make your family better off, but instead he’s cashing in for his own.

My Progressive Caucus colleagues and I have been clear: not another cent to ICE until we stop the chaos and the lawlessness.

If this comes to the House, I’m voting no.

We cannot allow America to become a country where journalists get arrested because the president doesn't like their coverage.

At Liam’s school, three other kids have been taken by ICE.

A U.S. citizen child with a brain tumor was deported away from her Texas doctors.

Austin college student Any Lopez Belloza was deported by “mistake” and still can't come home.

Trump's chaos and cruelty has to end.

You've probably seen the picture.

A small child, Spider-Man backpack, used as bait by federal agents.

Whatever your politics, I'd ask you to stop for a moment and ask: what if that was your child?

Today I joined @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and @crockett.house.gov to demand: free Liam Ramos.

The Trump Administration admitted deporting Any Lopez Belloza in violation of a court order was a “mistake.”

Now they need to make it right and bring her home.

Political violence is dangerous and wrong.

And trying to intimidate Ilhan Omar is a fool’s errand.

Just like the people standing up to Trump and ICE, Ilhan’s tough as nails and never backs down from standing up for the people she represents.

Senate Democrats must demand reforms like federal agents taking the masks off and getting warrants.

Those are common sense reforms all Americans should be able to get behind.
