Appalled, shocked and sad was so last week. I’m not looking away and I won’t stand by. I’m a U.S. citizen by birth and active resister by choice. I’m done with the hand wringing. It’s time for Congress to get to work.

With all due respect, Mr. Crow, we need to save our Republic before we can reform it. After Congress takes action to restore the balance of power, as it is authorized by the US Constitution to do, we can talk about where it’s a rescue operation, or recovery, that’s needed.

There needs to be government reform.
Democrats support getting rid of waste, fraud, & abuse. But that doesn't mean taking a sledgehammer to the entire federal government.
Instead of defending institutions, let’s focus on delivering better services to people.

Recognizing two years of war in Sudan, my @houseforeign.bsky.social colleagues and I are calling on the Trump admin to restore all US foreign assistance.
The people of Sudan have been suffering for far too long and the United States must work to save lives and end this brutal conflict.
