Honored to join the terrific Rep April McClain Delaney at the Maryland Dems AAPI DLC event honoring our federal employees. Democrats are fighting back through legislation, litigation and mobilization against the unlawful actions of the Trump Administration, and we will prevail.

Trump promised a golden age. He lied to you, again.

The Administration’s indiscriminate cuts will imperil veterans. These cuts include “Life-Saving Cancer Trials”. Veterans could die because of these devastating cuts. Ask Republicans to tell the Administration to stop hurting veterans.

NEW: Despite a congressional mandate to expand care for veterans, internal Veterans Affairs messages obtained by ProPublica paint a stark portrait of how chaotic cost cutting has already imperiled tests of treatments for cancer, opioid addiction and more.

Thanking Americans at the Day of Action today in Torrance. “Public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed.” - Abraham Lincoln Understand your power to shape public sentiment.

As a Catholic, I take great offense to Donald Trump mocking Catholics. I wish Trump would focus on lowering prices instead. The American economy had negative GDP growth last quarter. That’s what he should be focused on instead of making fun of Catholics.

Do you think SecDef Pete Hegseth will use his taxpayer-funded Pentagon glam countertop before riding in the parade? USA! USA! USA! Nothing screams warrior culture like a glam countertop.

Trump wants 6,600 Troops, 50 helicopters, and millions of your tax dollars for a birthday parade. Not to honor service, not for national defense—just to feed the ego of a wannabe dictator. Pure authoritarian cosplay. MORE: apnews.com/article/army...

The aerospace community is vital to advancing America’s scientific and technological leadership, as well as our national security. Introduced a resolution to recognize the stellar work of the aerospace community and make today, May 2, National Space Day.

"New Legislation" in a box, followed by "Congressman Lieu Introduces Resolution to Establish National Space Day" over a blurred space background.

SecDef Hegseth should be the one being fired. Hegseth was on not just one, but two Signal chats where he texted advanced info on combat operations to random people. Mike Waltz did not send the problematic texts. Also, Hegseth’s Pentagon makeup studio is really vain and a waste of taxpayer funds.

ICE cannot deport US citizens. This should not even be a discussion. Astounded Republicans voted against this.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 30(source)

In Trump’s first 100 days, he alone was responsible for SHRINKING THE US ECONOMY. No wonder Trump’s approval rating is the lowest of any President in the last 80 years. But to be fair, Trump was able to rename a mountain in Alaska to Mount McKinley.

The Trump/GOP recession has officially begun! "The U.S. economy contracted in the first three months of 2025, fueling recession fears." See US GDP growth chart below- positive every month until Trump's tariffs! www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/g...

Secretary Hegseth’s phone number was found all over the internet. Hackers could have surveilled his phone and gotten sensitive information. It’s time for him to resign. Hope his makeup studio is going well though.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 28(source)

There are various ways a mobile phone can be surveilled if the hacker knows the phone number (eg, look up SS7 attack). Hegseth’s phone number—from where he texted ongoing combat operations—was easily accessible on the internet. He has no concept of OpSec. He needs to resign.

Trump’s policies are harmful, reckless and in some cases lawless. That’s why his poll numbers are plummeting. Keep making your voices heard. The best way to deal with a bully is to fight back. I did a cut and paste from my last post b/c we now have a second major poll showing Trump below 40%.

As a recovering computer science major, I’m very aware that basically everything is susceptible to being hacked. But SecDef Hegseth makes it much easier for America’s enemies to hack him because he repeatedly plays fast and loose with operational security. He needs to resign.

'Difficult to defend': Pete Hegseth buried over new revelations of his 'dirty line'

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 24(source)

Super excited to be flying like first class on Southwest because the middle seat is empty. Unfortunately, the plane doesn’t have a makeup studio, so I can’t look as pretty as Pete Hegseth who spent taxpayer dollars to install a makeup studio in the Pentagon.

When it comes to Trump’s harmful tariff war, White House officials are not playing chess, and not even checkers, they are playing Magic 8 Ball. 1. Start disastrous tariff war 2. Say oops, the tariffs are “unsustainable” 3. Now ask countries, will you please, please do a deal?

The first thing they make you do before going into a classified meeting is to remove your phone. Why? Because phones can be hacked. (Eg look up Pegasus spyware). Hegseth using his personal phone multiple times to reveal combat operations is a dereliction of duty. He must resign.
