I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.

One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:

The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

Why should ONE CEO control which movies are made?

They shouldn’t, and that’s why we need to stop media giants like Netflix and Paramount from taking over Warner Brothers.

In the Bronx, the East Clark Place Senior Residence received a staggering 26,000 applications for just 84 units—a ratio of 300 to 1.

When 300 families are left desperately chasing after a single unit, that is not a housing market. That is a humanitarian crisis.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

For months, we've sought details about the shadowy deal the Trump Admin made with the Salvadoran govt to imprison people in the notorious CECOT prison — where they faced torture & other human rights abuses.

Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.

This shady deal was BLOCKED.

A private equity company tried to abuse the bankruptcy system to slither out of paying what they owe to seniors neglected in its nursing homes.

We stayed in the fight and the deal was blocked.

Next, we need PE out of health care altogether.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.

Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Secretary Noem finally said the quiet part out loud: asylum seekers are here legally.

That admission means ICE is violating federal law under her direction as they ruthlessly assault and deport people with pending asylum cases.

The truth finally comes out.

We have our answer: 4 million.

Senate Republicans just voted to kick 4 million Americans off their health insurance to fund their tax cuts for billionaires & mega-corporations.

I agree with those who say we need to drastically reform the system, but this isn't reform, it's regression.

BREAKING: The Trump administration took $2 BILLION+ from our military to use on political stunts.

This is an insult to our troops. It won’t make our military stronger or Americans safer.

Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem owe taxpayers answers.

I've warned that a Warner Bros. merger could mean higher prices.

But don't take it from me. The CEO of Disney just said Netflix buying up Warner Bros. could increase Netflix's "pricing leverage" over consumers.

Translation: Higher prices for you to watch your favorite shows.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.

But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.

That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.
