Republicans failed to lower the high cost of living.

We have them on the run because they refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

The extremists were crushed on Election Day.

Now they Big Mad.

Le entregué el libro de una de las víctimas de Epstein a Mike Johnson. Si de verdad lo lee, tal vez por fin publicará los archivos de Epstein y dejará de proteger a los poderosos que la abusaron.

Ya es hora de que se haga justicia para los cientos de víctimas, incluyendo las 15 víctimas Latinas.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are trying to amend the Senate’s funding bill to protect Americans’ healthcare and take out the poison pills.

@houserepublicans.bsky.social can’t even bother to show up to debate it.

Yes, it was lottery style... people sneer at the "40B" people just trying to get a friggin home. The hoops to jump through just to get the loan approved are daunting, never mind the rest.

I’m in the House Rules Committee to testify against the Senate’s broken deal to reopen the government. We need a funding agreement that protects healthcare, not one that betrays working families. House Democrats are holding the line.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

It's always an honor to spend Veterans Day at the Puerto Rican Veterans Memorial in the South End.

Thank you to the over 200,000 Boricuas who have served our country, & to Tony Molina for preserving their legacy.

We're lucky to have this one-of-a-kind memorial here in the #MA7.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Calling a prosecutor “deranged” for enforcing the law is the inversion of accountability. Our assessment warns that when leaders portray lawful investigations as persecution, they are dismantling the rule of law itself.

Ed Martin: "What this pardon does is help rescue the people who were hunted. The Biden administration hunted the alternate electors who were participating in our constitutional process in 2020 ... they were Trump supporters who believed in the Constitution."

Wolf’s resignation and supporting details provide experiential corroboration of indicators identified in our Assessment: weaponization of justice, delegitimization and intimidation of the judiciary, and attrition of independent voices through ethical constraints.
