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.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
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.
Health care costs are skyrocketing.
Hospitals are closing left and right.
In his SOTU, Trump bragged about how many people he kicked off SNAP + Medicaid.
What paid for it?
The Big Ugly Bill slashed Amazon’s tax bill from $9B to $1.2B.
A $7.8B giveaway to Bezos—while Amazon’s profits jumped 45%.
Community Project Funding is one of the most powerful tools we have in Congress to support our districts.
We're now accepting CPF applications for FY27.
Sadly, Republicans have set a *very* short timeline. CPF requests must be submitted by 3/6 at 6PM.
More info (and how to apply) on my website. 👇
Let's break down the Republican drama over glyphosate (AKA weed killer like RoundUp)—and how I'm working with the #MAHA movement and others to fight Big Chemical 👇
P.S. Help me spread the word: Tell Congress to support the "Pingree Protect Our Health Amendment" in the Farm Bill fight next week!
These are people who fled horrific circumstances to live and work HERE.
Now, millions are at risk of not being able to make rent. Or put food on the table.
The damage this Administration is doing—to our economy, to the lives of innocent people, and to the future of our country—is truly appalling.
DHS has stopped issuing work permits to asylum-seekers until it works through a backlog, which “may take between 14 and 173 years."
(Seriously.)
Why not use a fraction of their massive budget to hire more asylum officers?
Because they want to make it impossible for asylum-seekers to live here.
So refreshing to hear my friend, Gov. Spanberger, lay out a clear-eyed case for why we're headed in the wrong direction—and how we turn it around.
Americans are sick of the incompetence, corruption, and cruelty. They want a government that *works.*
Kudos to the Governor on her inspiring response.
Hearing from so many people who are doing such incredible work in their communities—helping their neighbors, pushing back against this lawless Administration—was deeply inspiring.
Huge thanks to Jenny Beverly for being my guest, and to everyone who braved the cold to make their voices heard.
While Trump was filling the House chamber with more lies, delusions, and self-praise, I spent the night listening to my fellow Democrats (and their amazing guests) at the People’s State of the Union outside the Capitol.
The anger and frustration were palpable. But so were the hope and optimism.
My guest for tonight’s "People’s State of the Union" is Jenny Beverly, an immigration lawyer who’s helping Mainers navigate some awful circumstances.
Families torn apart.
Legal residents picked up based solely on their skin color.
Jenny's seen it all. And she’s working hard to make a difference.
Yes, ICE got $170 BILLION in the Big Ugly Bill.
But a huge part of the Admin's deportation strategy is to pull the rug out from those who are here lawfully—so they can be sent to some hellhole detention center (and out of the country).
It's not about “law enforcement.” It’s about breaking people.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have since confirmed NPR’s reporting.
Justice for survivors.
Consequences for perpetrators.
Full accountability for everyone who helped bury the truth.
NOW.
The DOJ is hiding materials from the Epstein files that implicate Trump—including testimony that he sexually abused a minor.
Remember: Both the House and Senate unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the DOJ release *all* the unreacted files.
This cover-up is disgusting.
Trump's fixation on taking over Greenland is absurd, and his latest social media post about sending a US hospital ship there is just batshit.
They don't need our "help." THEY have universal health care.
Maybe he should focus on fixing our broken health care system instead
My guest (more info to come!) will shine a light on the impact the recent ICE surge had on our communities in Maine.
While Trump paints a fantasy, we’ll be telling the real story of what is happening in his America.
Instead, I’ll be participating in the People’s State of the Union, which will provide a platform to everyday Americans who are actually living with the consequences of Trump’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption.
