Husband of Betty, the love of my life. Father of two great kids. USAF veteran. Member of Congress. In that order. Also, empathy is good.
I will be voting NO on the package coming from the Senate.

Trump is now fighting in the Supreme Court to stop SNAP hunger payments, which affects one in four kids in America, as well as seniors and people with disabilities.

Trump also left for Mar-a-Lago, and wow have you seen his gilded gold bathroom sinks?

Today is Day 38 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.
Air traffic controllers are working without pay right now.
 
Trump could stop this Republican shutdown today by simply convening a meeting with legislative leaders.

Trump’s economy sucks and the American people know it.

Consumer sentiment has now reached the second-lowest level ever recorded.
This is the 2nd lowest Consumer Sentiment print of all time, going back to the 1970s.

The harmful economic policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing the American people.
🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Trump to Republican senators: "I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented and what we should do about it and also about the shutdown and how that relates to last night. If you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for Republicans."

Democrats won, and the GOP lost, in EVERY statewide election last night, not just in blue states. And the margins were not close.

Maine
Georgia
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
California
Virginia

The American people sent a powerful message to Trump and Republicans: WE WILL NOT YIELD.
WE DEFEATED THE VOTER RESTRICTION AMENDEMENT IN MAINE!!!!!

Based on the complete rejection of Trump and the GOP tonight, from Virginia to Georgia to California, I predict the following:

1. Even more House Republicans will announce they are retiring or running for another office.

2. Democrats will flip the House.
OH MY GOD, DDHQ CALLS IT AND DEMS FLIP BOTH STATEWIDE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA

We don’t just have a #bluewave, we have a #BlueTsunami.

Democrats won by MASSIVE margins in four states:

Virginia
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
California

The American people sent a clear message to Trump and Republicans:

WE. WILL. NOT. YIELD.

Cry harder.

Trump will never be on the ballot again.

And Trump can reopen the Republican shutdown this week by stopping the Republican assault on healthcare and hungry kids.

In three statewide races so far, we have a #bluewave:

Virginia

New Jersey

And when Californian reports, we will have a #BlueTsunami.

I missed Trump’s lavish Great Gatsby party that he threw last week while he threatened to cut off food assistance to hungry kids during the Republican shutdown.

But I did meet the amazing leadership of Meals on Wheels West, and helped deliver food to constituents today.

Yes, this is real.

Trump was throwing a Great Gatsby party while 42 million Americans faced uncertainty about getting food assistance.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

It’s worth repeating:

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House.

If Donald Trump said end this shutdown today, Republicans would do it.
November 3, 2025 at 6:02 PM
NBC poll shows we are in Blue Tsunami territory. Why?

1. House Democrats have been in DC the last 5 weeks fighting to lower costs, save healthcare and reopen government.

Where are House Republicans? STILL ON VACATION.

2. Americans are fed up with Trump’s authoritarian crap and corruption.
“.. Democrats lead Republicans in the fight for Congress by 8 points, 50%-42%, the largest lead for either party on the congressional ballot in the NBC News poll since the 2018 midterms.

California is crushing it with #YesOnProp50!

The 5 Dem seats CA creates are better than the 5 GOP seats that TX created.

IN ADDITION, Prop 50 strengthens 5 Frontline Dem seats AND 3 Frontline adjacent seats.

Prop 50 helps Dems in over a dozen districts.

ADVANTAGE: Dems.

Today is Halloween and have you noticed candy prices are higher? So are overall grocery prices, which are surging.

The economic policies of Trump and his rubber stamp Republican Congress are crushing Americans.

It was already bad enough that Republicans cut billions from SNAP in their Big Ugly Bill.

Now they’re refusing to use legally available funds to pay benefits in November. Republicans need to stop playing politics with hunger.
