The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Venezuela – or with anyone – without thorough debate, deliberation, and explicit congressional authorization. These decisions have deep consequences for our service members and the communities abroad whose homes, families, and futures are upended.

The House will be voting soon on a pair of War Powers resolutions that will reassert Congress’s authority on the use of military force—and not let this reckless Administration get us into another intractable war.

A federal court just sided with me and my colleagues to stop the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to block unannounced congressional inspections of immigration detention facilities. Proud to stand up for transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

When DHS denied me entrance to Adelanto, an immigration detention facility, back in July, they denied my constitutional right and responsibility to conduct oversight.

This is becoming far too common. Masked people stepping out of vans, racially profiling residents of our country, and in this case, calling a Tribal ID fake.

It’s disturbing. It’s un-American.

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.
The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

Despite MAGA and Russian disinformation, Ukraine did not sign Trump / Vance’s Russian written surrender plan. Ukraine agreed to present a revised plan to Russia, this has been done multiple times. It’s basically a notion to agree to present a plan, nothing more or less.

AIPAC defends genocide & apartheid. It spends millions to send US weapons to the criminal Netanyahu regime while Palestinians are bombed, starved, & driven from their homes. The American people do not support weapons for a government committing war crimes. When we call that out, they come after us.

Ukraine never signed a “Trump peace plan”; no such plan exists. Trump pushed a Russia written proposal and tried to pass it off as his own, it was replaced by a legitimate European framework coordinated with the US. Real peace requires Russia to leave all Ukrainian territory.

On top of using violent rhetoric that has led to increased death threats, the Trump Administration is now trying to use the FBI to try to intimidate and harass members of Congress.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
