Yesterday, Trump threatened to go after ABC.
Today, ABC canceled @jimmykimmel.com for the terrible crime of speaking his mind.
If the media continues cowering to Trump, this censorship will only get worse.
ABC—grow a pair.
Apparently it’s only class warfare when Democrats fight for working people & everyday folks—but not when Republicans rip away their healthcare to give Jeff Bezos another yacht or Elon Musk another tax break.
Republicans don’t give a shit about fixing America’s REAL problems. All they care about are culture wars & division.
Trump promised an economic golden age.
Instead, he gave you more expensive groceries while his rich friends got tax breaks.
Billionaires are better off than they were last year. Working people certainly aren’t.
We must fight corruption & human rights abuses—whether at home or abroad. That’s why I’m demanding that Secretary Rubio immediately pursue justice for Juan ⬇️
One year ago today, Juan Antonio López was assassinated in Honduras for standing up to corrupt corporate and political elites who continue to poison and pollute the local air and water. Those who planned his murder still walk free.
After wrongfully terminating the program without Congressional approval, USDA is now reinstating it.
We fought back—and we won.
Earlier this year, I demanded that Secretary Rollins immediately restore funding for Farm to School grants, which helps bring farm-fresh food into cafeterias across the country.
“Here we go?!” This is idiotic. Does he realize that global security—and the threat of nuclear war—isn’t Saturday Night Football???

🚨 BREAKING: 15 years after Citizens United unleashed unlimited corporate spending, Rep. McGovern just reintroduced the Free and Fair Elections Amendment to end big money’s grip on our politics.

Kids who’ve grown up in the U.S. are AMERICAN. For many Dreamers, this is the only country they’ve ever known. That’s why I signed @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social's letter condemning @DHS for illegally detaining DACA recipients. They deserve to be treated with dignity & given a fair shot to succeed.
$77B poured into elections since Citizens United. That’s not democracy—it's an auction. Government of, by, and for billionaires & corporations.
I just reintroduced the Fair & Free Elections Act to get big money out of politics & put power back in the ballot box where it belongs.
Yesterday, six people were killed in a terror attack in East Jerusalem. I strongly condemn this horrific act of violence. Targeting civilians is always abhorrent and always wrong. I send my deepest condolences to the families of the victims.
Israel’s airstrike in Doha brazenly violates Qatari sovereignty & international law. Netanyahu clearly has no interest in peace. We shouldn’t send another cent of military aid for his reckless war. Our priority should be a ceasefire, hostages released & a surge of aid into Gaza.
So let me get this straight…20 years ago, Democrats forged Trump’s signature on a creepy birthday card to a pedophile...planted it in Epstein’s estate before Trump even ran…and then waited to release it until *after* Trump got reelected?
Got it.
If America stands for anything, it ought to be human rights.
Today, I introduced important amendments to a must-pass defense bill that were designed to defend the inherent rights & dignity of all human beings.
This should be a bipartisan issue. Every Republican voted no.
People of many faiths agree—we have a moral duty to care for the most vulnerable.
Today, I hosted the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance to discuss how I’m fighting Trump's cruel cuts to global food aid. Too many are afraid to speak out. It’s up to us to lead the charge.
The Supreme Court just ruled that ICE can LEGALLY terrorize citizens for being…Latino.
This is racial profiling plain & simple. No one should be scared to go to the grocery store or pick up their kids from school because of their race.
Every single Republican on the Rules Committee once again voted to BURY THE EPSTEIN FILES. Why do they continue to protect pedophiles?
Instead of draining the swamp, MAGA is pumping it with more shit by defending the wealthy elites they promised to depose. The coverup continues.
This is a big deal.
A bipartisan majority on the Rules Committee just moved to demand a standalone vote on repealing the 2002 and 1991 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) as a part of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
