This Republican Majority has done NOTHING to lower costs for working people—but they sure delivered for billionaires, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Corporate America.

Donald Trump has been talking about airstrikes, troops on the ground, and naval or air blockades. These are acts of war.
But the Constitution is very clear: only Congress can declare war. So today I’m forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to say clearly that we reject this madness.
Because of Republican inaction, healthcare costs will explode in just a couple weeks.
The GOP majority could easily call a vote & stop that from happening. Instead, this is what they’re doing on the House floor today:
I thought tariffs were supposed to bring jobs BACK to America?!
Shocking that the guy who bankrupted 6 companies got that wrong too.
If you think it’s OK to have a trillionaire in the same America where parents skip meals so kids don’t have to and folks have to choose between healthcare or rent—then we do not share the same values.
An economic system with such obscene greed has lost its moral compass.
Reminder: Trump pardoned the founder of a black market that imported fentanyl from China into the U.S.
So to be clear—he’s fine pardoning criminals who used weapons of mass destruction against the American people.
Americans don’t want another Iraq.
We don’t want our kids dying so defense contractors can get richer. We don’t want to waste trillions overseas while families are struggling here at home.
Democrats should be clear: no more regime change, no more endless war.
If your elected officials won’t vote to protect your kids & family from gun violence, then you shouldn’t support them. It’s that simple.
Hundreds of people turned out in Scranton, PA this weekend for a town hall where my colleagues and I discussed building an economic system that works for everyone—not just the wealthy & well-connected.
If Republican leaders won’t show up and listen to their constituents—then we will.
He closed the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention & opposes common-sense gun reform.
He also supports having military-grade assault weapons on our streets.
There’s plenty more we can do than “just pray.”
I voted against the war in Iraq and I’m against Trump trying to start a war in Venezuela because we shouldn’t be wasting trillions of dollars & putting troops in harm’s way when we have so much to fix here at home. No more endless war!
The guilty verdict against Jimmy Lai is a travesty. He committed no crime other than to offend Chinese authorities with his principled defense of democracy and freedom of expression. Hong Kong authorities should grant him medical release so he can receive proper care.
I’m heartbroken by the shooting at Brown University. My prayers are with everyone impacted by yet another horrific act of gun violence—but prayers alone are not enough. We need action to end the epidemic of gun violence in our schools. Enough is enough.
On the first night of Hanukkah, shock & mourning has replaced celebration after today’s antisemitic terror attack in Bondi Beach. I want Jewish families in my district & beyond to know: Antisemitism has no place in our society. Let us all pray for peace, healing and justice.
This is what Trump calls an A+++++ economy.
Those at the top are doing better than ever while everyone else gets less and less.
Once again, Trump & Republicans want to let big tech billionaires do whatever they want. Why won't they let state lawmakers do the jobs they were elected to do? Follow the money...
Let’s not mince words. Donald Trump wants to start a war in Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil.
Our answer must be Hell No.
I’m tired of hearing Republicans say they’ll have a healthcare plan in 1 or 2 years.
We’re out of time—they had an entire year to prevent premiums from skyrocketing, and they’ve done nothing but pass massive tax breaks for billionaires & big corporations.
Susie—please, please send him across the country talking about how affordability is a con job and parents should cut back on Christmas presents.
Please. It would be a gift to us.
