I introduced a War Powers Resolution last week to block the Trump Administration from starting an illegal war against Venezuela. I joined @npr.org on Sunday to explain why:

Trump’s presidency has been defined by the decay of public information sources and dismantling of public health institutions.

So firing the people who produce the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Report certainly tracks.

Your state could be impacted by a Supreme Court ruling that could lock in GOP control for over a generation, and in some states, eliminate majority-Black districts entirely.

Trump sicced the National Guard on LA, ramping up immigrant arrests in a city that’s been targeted by ICE for months.

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is “abhorrent.”

Several homes in the neighborhood have a yard sign in the front proudly declaring: “This house supports federal workers.” That includes the house right next door to his.

Today, I spoke with dedicated former federal workers about how the Trump Administration's horrific workforce cuts cost them the jobs they loved, and how that's hurt their families. I’ll keep working to protect the federal workforce, fight illegal firings, and end the shutdown.

Trump and the GOP developed a budget plan with no Dem input. Dems offered an alternative that protects folks’ health care. Trump said he’d meet to negotiate, but then canceled the meeting. Why does he want to shut the government down AND take health care away from millions?

ICYMI: Republicans voted down legislation to keep the government from shutting down and protect Americans’ access to health care. Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate, and the House. They’re failing to lead, and Americans will suffer as a result.
