My Republican colleagues like to say they are pro-defense, pro-patriot, pro-America, and pro-flag.
If that's true, then stand up for our uniformed military officers who served 30 years. Don't let them go down in flames because you are scared.

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

I need to get on BlueSky more often. My hiatus was due to fighting disinformation purveyors on other platforms, but this is far better than any other social media for accuracy and content.

Tonight the Convicted FElon gave a Primetime speech which I'm so glad I didn't watch or listen to. From what I have heard so far it was a total disaster. Massive lies, racism & rambling throughout. When will people wake up & get this FElon out?

Congress must act to end Trump's unsanctioned military actions in Venezuela.
As Vice Chair of Policy for the Hispanic Caucus, I joined Rep. Espaillat and other members of our leadership team in condemning the House GOP’s refusal to hold Trump to his oath of office.

The clock is ticking.
Congress is in session for its final week before ACA tax credits expire. These credits help families afford healthcare.
Republicans have no plan to save healthcare, but @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social and I are ready to act. Will my House GOP colleagues join us?

The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.
