This is one of the most extraordinary, mic drop moments you will ever see in Congress.

In a previous time, the Secretary would have resigned - or have been fired - before the sun set.

The Trump/GOP math doesn’t math! Trump/GOP pay for their $ handouts to billionaires by making everything unaffordable for Americans! 22 million Americans will have their health care premium costs skyrocket through the roof as of January 1st due to Trump/Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits!

Trying to understand WHY if, in fact, this administration is doing strikes on alleged drug boats, Trump would pardon this convicted drug dealer. I can only come up with something nefarious is occurring.
First Republican to call out Trump’s corrupt pardon of the man who helped funnel over 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

We the People stand with the World to protect democracy.
We’ve watched our friends to the south face attacks on truth, rights, and basic democratic norms. Let it be clear, Canadians DO NOT stand by while democracy is pushed around!

We stand in Solidarity because Democracy isn’t just an American ideal. It’s a shared one. And we protect it together!

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.

At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW
More Americans are getting their power shut off, as unpaid bills pile up
Average electricity costs have risen 11 percent since January, more than three times the rate of inflation.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
