And last night, in another act of escalation, President Trump announced a “total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into, and out of, Venezuela” – which could be an act of war itself.

He keeps pointing to fentanyl, even calling it a weapon of mass destruction, but Venezuela plays virtually no role in producing or trafficking fentanyl. In the Vanity Fair profile, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles even suggested that the ultimate goal is to topple President Maduro.
That’s why I take decisions about whether or not to go to war so seriously. But unfortunately, President Trump doesn’t.
He’s inventing excuses to justify a war with Venezuela and keeps taking unauthorized, illegal steps to provoke one.
The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Venezuela – or with anyone – without thorough debate, deliberation, and explicit congressional authorization. These decisions have deep consequences for our service members and the communities abroad whose homes, families, and futures are upended.
All the evidence and anecdotes point to the same reality: Trump’s trade wars and tariffs are coming at the cost of American farmers and American consumers.
President Trump isn’t lowering your costs – he’s raising them and making life unaffordable.
Trump has accepted $300 million from corporations and CEOs in order to demolish part of the White House and build his ballroom.
We’re already seeing government handouts to these billionaires and get ready for more.
I just introduced the Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act with Reps. Nick LaLota, Jen Kiggans, and Chrissy Houlahan as a new, standalone, *bipartisan* bill to expand TRICARE coverage of IVF for service members and their dependents. We won’t stop fighting for this!
Cutting 35,000 jobs at the VA won’t improve the quality or efficiency of health care for veterans – but it will worsen existing problems. This is the fundamentally wrong approach to delivering the best possible care to our veterans.
The Trump Administration is cancelling naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies at the last minute to delay people from becoming U.S. citizens. We should be expanding and reforming legal pathways to citizenship – not closing them off.
Trump has funnelled $2 BILLION of taxpayer dollars away from critical priorities like upgrading military barracks and repairing schools for military kids to fund his mass deportation agenda. He’s actively hurting our military readiness and morale.
Making this horrific choice, especially during Hanukkah and in the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach attack, is disgusting. Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive” – they are explicit endorsements of hate against Jews and the Black community. Reverse this now.
Especially this year, it’s so important to remember that Hanukkah teaches us that even in the darkness, we can find the light. I hope everyone celebrating finds peace and strength.
Antisemitism turned a beautiful community celebration of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach into a nightmare. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the people of Australia.
Antisemitism is a global crisis — and we need to work together to end it.
I’m so devastated for the students, teachers, and faculty at Brown University, some of whom have now personally experienced TWO school shootings.
Let’s not waste time with all the political back and forth nonsense — we need to actually do something to prevent the next shooting.
Donald Trump’s White House is always pay-to-play, so I’m not surprised in the slightest that after Big Tech donated to his ballroom project and lavished him with praise for months, he’s now eliminating the rules trying to keep them in line.
Or here’s an idea: end the tariffs and there’s no need for this $12 billion bailout for farmers.
One of Donald Trump Jr.’s companies just got a $620 million Pentagon contract – the biggest ever made by the Office of Strategic Capital.
Coincidence? I think not.
Expanding the militarized zone around San Diego doesn’t make us any safer. Ultimately, it’s expensive, useless, and attempts to normalize our troops being used to support domestic law enforcement which is anything but normal.
Donald Trump has no idea how to actually combat the drug epidemic. He’s pardoned literal drug traffickers and killed people who aren’t even carrying fentanyl.
The UAE is the biggest and most consistent funder of the RSF's genocidal campaign in Sudan. That’s why we need to use our significant leverage and pass my Stand up for Sudan Act to block U.S. weapons sales to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF.
