Project 2025 lead author and Trump’s current budget head, Russ Vought, is STEALING Congressionally-approved funds. Today, I offered an amendment to withhold funds from his office until he testifies before @democrats-appropriations.house.gov and answers our questions.
Syrian billionaires are trying to lift American sanctions by building a “Trump-branded resort” in their country. It's outrageous that the way to getting what you want from Trump is just flattery. Imagine if this happened under Biden or Obama. And nope, this isn't The Onion.
WI should start working with Ridglan Farms, a troubled WI breeder of beagles for research, to rehome 2,000 dogs now to give the dogs the lives they deserve. The breeder needs a plan to protect the dogs from inhumane treatment after a settlement agreement to close their breeding business.
FACT: The average family is paying more than $2,500 extra this year because of the Trump Tariffs. FACT: The average household is expected to spend $740 extra on gas this year because of Trump’s war of choice against Iran. FACT: The average family paid over $300 more for groceries in 2025 than 2024.
My heart breaks for the eight children killed in the horrific shooting in Louisiana yesterday. Speaker Johnson, this happened in your own hometown. You have the power to stop future shootings by working with us to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United.
While more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Trump is trying to increase the war budget by more than 42%, to $1.5 TRILLION, more than the next 35 countries combined. We need to prioritize everyday Americans, not wealthy defense contractors.
In my district, a beagle breeding facility called Ridglan Farms has hundreds of code violations, including serious harm to the health of the dogs, yet the NIH is still giving funding to groups that use the beagles from this facility. Today, I urged Secretary Kennedy to stop this practice.
These programs build a strong pipeline of skilled workers for in-demand industries while opening the door to high-paying careers without student debt. Expanding access to apprenticeships is how we create opportunities for every American, and I will continue to support these critical programs.
As Co-Chair of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I led a discussion with Sheet Metal Air Rail and Transportation Workers Union President Michael Coleman that included expanding registered apprenticeships in the trades.
I just voted YES on the Iran War Powers Resolution. Trump’s war of choice was not authorized by Congress, was started without a plan or an exit strategy, and has achieved none of the contradictory objectives used to justify it.
Reposted byRep. Mark Pocan
“Don’t believe your lying eyes”—the Trump administration pushes a reality that doesn’t match what Americans are feeling at the pump or seeing in the courts. Meanwhile, efforts to rewrite January 6th are sparking outrage on Capitol Hill. Scott MacFarlane has it all in his evening report.
