Make no mistake: These failures are choices.
@houseagdems.bsky.social and I will introduce dozens of amendments to get this traditionally bipartisan bill in a place that meets the moment for our farmers—and all Americans.

This is a challenging time to be a farmer.
Bankruptcies are up 46%.
15K farms lost just last year.
And Trump’s disastrous trade war has caused nothing but chaos.
Republicans' Farm Bill addresses none of it. Instead, it cuts SNAP, weakens conservation and helps Big Chemical.
My opening remarks ⬇️
Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 Iranians are dead. American service members have been killed. The Middle East is exploding.
Why? Maybe because Trump is desperate to distract from his mounting failures, his deep unpopularity, and—of course—his involvement with Epstein.
It’s total insanity. (5/5)
The new MAGA line is, “Actually, we've been at war with Iran for 50 years. Trump is the only president with the guts to end it!”
Trump himself is boasting the U.S. has enough weapons to wage war “forever.”
If you’re confused, I get it. So am I! Everyone is!
Their arguments defy basic logic. (4/5)
Then, in a classified briefing, officials acknowledged there was no imminent threat.
Rubio then characterized the plan as: Israel was supposed to strike first, and because Iran would retaliate against us, *we* struck first instead.
“We acted proactively, defensively.”
He actually said this! (3/5)
The message shifted: A nuclear Iran was still a threat.
They insisted they were pursuing diplomacy—but the negotiations were ambiguous (and accompanied by new threats).
They claimed Iran was preparing a preemptive attack. So Trump ordered more strikes and framed the operation as defensive. (2/5)
🧵
In his first term, Trump sabotaged the Iran nuclear agreement—which had verifiably limited its program and subjected it to international inspections.
Fast forward to Trump 2.0. He said this summer's military strikes “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capability.
This was clearly a lie. (1/5)
This is the Administration that said:
"No more forever wars!"
"No more toxins in our food and environment!"
"America First!"
"Make America Healthy Again!"
What do we have now? Unsanctioned war with Iran and giveaways to Big Chemical.
The utter hypocrisy is staggering. And it's costing lives.
As the top Democrat on the Interior subcommittee, I’m pursuing every option to push back.
These places—the history, the facts, the stories—belong to all of us. NO president gets to unilaterally decide how that information is conveyed, or intentionally twist the truth to fit some toxic worldview.
It’s been a year since Trump signed this insane EO, and the impacts are being felt across the country. Last summer NPS removed signs from Acadia that referenced climate change and Native culture.
A coalition has filed a lawsuit challenging this flagrant censorship. But the fight is far from over.
To borrow a line from Andor: “Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. The frontier of resistance is everywhere, and that even the smallest act of defiance pushes the lines forward.”
That's what we're doing now. We're all part of the resistance.
Get #ICEOut!
This is the only red hat you’ll find me wearing. And there’s a powerful story behind it.
When the Nazis occupied Norway, Norwegians resisted in many ways. One was to wear a knitted cap called a nisselue.
The Nazis outlawed them. But Norwegians wore them anyway.
80 years later, they're back.
Trump wants this war to distract from the Epstein files, the economy, and his sinking approval numbers.
Civilians and US service members have already been killed.
Congress and the American people need answers and a say in this.
NO WAR in Iran.
Congress must reassert its constitutional authority, halt unauthorized military action, and make clear that no president—of either party—has the power to drag this nation into war alone.
My colleagues introduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution, and Democrats were already planning to force a vote the moment Congress reconvenes next week.
Speaker Johnson should call the House back to Washington immediately to take up that vote.
Republicans will try to claim this isn’t a war.
The President’s own words prove otherwise: “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war.”
When the president calls it war, Congress cannot pretend it’s anything else.
Trump launched a major attack on Iran and openly called for regime change—without consulting Congress or seeking authorization.
That is a flagrant violation of the Constitution and a reckless escalation that puts American service members and civilians at grave risk.
Just like he’s trying to whitewash our history, Trump’s media interference is about one thing: creating a giant MAGA propaganda machine.
When Democrats retake Congress we will do all we can to break up these monopolies and ensure the media actually serves the public—not just Trump's lust for power.
Remember when Trump helped Paramount acquire CBS—AFTER the network paid him $16 million to settle a lawsuit?
That blatant corruption was part of a (much) larger plan.
Trump is getting what he wants here: a billionaire buddy helming a massive media conglomerate, and more control over our airwaves.
That $7.8B could cover Medicaid for ~1 million Americans.
Instead, Republicans chose to take food off families’ tables and rip away their health care.
This is the scam: Billionaires get massive tax breaks; working people get higher costs.
It’s cruel. It’s deliberate. And it’s beyond shameful.
