Unsurprisingly, last night's address was disgraceful. Read my full statement.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Representative Sylvester Turner's passing last night. He was an exemplary public servant having served as Mayor of Houston and as a Member of Congress.
My thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and all of Houston.
Trump and Vance have stabbed Ukraine in the back and put a stain on our nation’s honor that will take generations to remove.
House Democrats and I stand with Ukraine and democracy. 🇺🇦
Reminder that Trump killed a bipartisan immigration package negotiated in good faith all so he could make it a campaign issue. #JointAddress
Despite what Trump says, his tariffs will be disastrous for American farmers and businesses. Increasing the cost for imported goods forces consumers to foot the bill—not foreign countries. #JointAddress
Trump bemoaning “unelected bureaucrats” is laughable when he has Elon Musk pulling his strings. #JointAddress
Pro tip: any time Trump says “it’s true,” you can probably bet it’s not.
#JointAddress
Elon Musk and his DOGE minions have fired thousands of federal workers, many of whom are veterans.
Musk is an unchecked, unelected billionaire that has taken over the White House so he can promote his own business ventures.
#JointAddress
The cost of eggs continue to rise. Trump has done nothing to change that. His reckless tariffs and trade wars will make produce across the board more expensive.
Hardworking Americans will foot the bill of his disastrous policies.
Bringing back “free speech”? Trump kicked out the Associated Press from the White House and threatened to jail college protestors he disagrees with. #JointAddress
It’s the Gulf of Mexico. #JointAddress
Let’s be clear: Withdrawing from the WHO and the UN Human Rights Council are not “wins.” They’re moves that actively diminish our moral standing in the world.
#JointAddress
Any “greatness” Trump speaks of tonight was inherited. He inherited a growing economy thanks to President Biden and Congressional Democrats, and claiming credit is categorically false.
Today, 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports go into effect.
Trump is trying to spin these tariffs as solely a tax on foreign companies. The truth is that U.S. companies will now be taxed on goods they import, and American consumers will get the bill.
The CFPB makes up just 0.01% of the federal budget, yet it has returned $21 BILLION to American taxpayers.
Still, Trump & Musk want to shut it down and make it easier for scammers to rip you off.
I joined more than 200 of my House colleagues in supporting a lawsuit to save the CFPB. Read more:
I’m excited to announce Joe Jackson as my guest for this year’s Joint Address!
As Executive Director of Hesed House, Joe's presence serves as a reminder of the need to fund the services that support the vulnerable, and to put a stop to Trump’s policies that make housing even less affordable.
My statement on Trump and Vance's disgraceful behavior in the Oval Office today.
Every member of the Greatest Generation who gave their lives fighting for democracy and the freedom of mankind must be rolling in their graves over the behavior of the most disgraceful President and Vice President our country has ever seen.
I’m proud to have earned a 100% on @lcv.org’s 2024 #LCVScorecard!
In Congress, I’ll continue to defend our historic climate and clean energy investments and fight to protect our environment for future generations to enjoy.

Today, people of color and women are still underrepresented in STEM fields—a problem made worse by Trump's reckless attacks on diversity and science.
This month and beyond, we must tell the stories of Black STEM leaders, because their inclusion puts the U.S. on the cutting edge of innovation.
