I just reintroduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to force a vote to stop any more strikes. I already forced a first vote last month which lost by only 2. If my Republican colleagues grow a spine, it will pass this time.

Republicans keep talking about how great Trump’s economy is. Are they living under a rock? Maybe if they actually held town halls & talked to real people, they’d know the only people who think the economy is great are Epstein elites & multi-billionaires. Everyone else thinks his economy sucks.
🚨NEWS: I just voted YES to pass bipartisan legislation that will lower healthcare costs & prevent insurance premiums from skyrocketing. The Senate must act immediately & advance our bill. The American People have no time to waste.
This is flagrantly corrupt and illegal. There’s only one reason they would want to funnel dark money from stolen fossil fuel profits into offshore bank accounts. It’s because they’re stealing it.
Last year, many of my colleagues told me Trump would never strike Venezuela, or they couldn’t support my War Powers Resolution because they feared the president. Well, Trump did attack Venezuela, so I’m reintroducing my resolution to force a vote before America is dragged into another endless war.
I’ve watched the video multiple times. An American citizen was murdered in cold blood by ICE agents because Donald Trump has empowered them to act with impunity. This is a nightmare. This crime must immediately be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Healthcare may not be of “tremendous interest” to billionaires like Trump, but it sure means a lot to folks whose insurance premiums are skyrocketing. That’s why Democrats are forcing a vote on extending your healthcare tax credits. Stay tuned.
Trump is using ICE like a secret police force. They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people. This can’t be America. I was the first member of Congress to call for abolishing ICE. November’s elections can’t come soon enough.
There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.
Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Grocery prices are through the roof. The rent is too damn high. And Republicans are starting 2026 with a debate on SHOWER HEADS?! You can’t make this shit up.
