I didn't know 'America First' meant sending our kids to die for oil in another foreign war. 
 
President Trump's strikes in the Caribbean & his impending war in Venezuela are illegal without a vote by Congress. We the People deserve a say in if our kids get sent to die in a repeat of the Iraq War.

Despite a court order, the Trump admin is dragging its feet on paying people the SNAP benefits they need. 
 
Meanwhile they're buying Kristi Noem 2 new jets, bailing out Argentina, & building a ballroom. 
 
They have the money.

They just don't want working people to have dignity.

Doing the same thing over & over while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

Republicans have been in charge for 10 months, & they've done nothing to address the rising costs of health care.

At this point their words & empty promises mean nothing to me, I need to see action.

Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 trillion in their budget bill. Now they want to let ACA subsidies expire for 24 million Americans.

The impending Republican health care crisis is going to hit us all, that's why Republicans must come back to the table to help us fix the mess they've created.

House Republicans are now using the shutdown that THEY STARTED to justify not swearing in a duly elected Democratic Representative.
 
Why?
 
Maybe because she'll be the final signature we need to release Epstein files.

There is no excuse for playing with people's health care to protect pedophiles.

Our military is not trained for de-escalation or peacekeeping, they are trained to kill efficiently. We should not be sending them into our cities to police civilians.

Not only does this go against the Posse Comitatus Act, it will only escalate tensions.

This whole time, Republicans told us they didn't want our input, ideas, or votes. Now that they've failed to keep government open, it's suddenly our fault?

Keep the same energy or come to the table and negotiate.

You know where to find us.

We're now less than 12 hours away from a shutdown and House Republicans aren't even in D.C.

House Democrats are ALL here, ready to vote on a bill that protects healthcare & reinforces Congress as a separate but EQUAL branch of government.

If Republicans are serious: they know where to find us.

The party that spent 4 years crying about cancel culture is now trying to cancel those who call out Charlie Kirk's views.

Peacefully disagreeing with people isn't illegal, it's American.

By the way, where was this outrage after MN State Rep. Melissa Hortman's murder or for the Sandy Hook families?

This week, I joined my colleagues in rallying to pass the the Block the Bombs Act & reiterate a simple idea: if you get American weapons, you must use them in line with our laws & international law. 

We are complicit in the destruction of Gaza.

We must hold every nation to the same standard.

Let's get one thing clear: the reason Democrats want to release the Epstein Files is because we believe in protecting victims, not abusers.

I don't give a damn who's in those files: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, they must be brought to justice.

Release ALL the files & release them NOW.
