I served on the Intelligence Committee for eight years. This level of stupidity and incompetence gets our troops and allies killed.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
Trump and his billionaire cronies do NOT have the power to abolish the Department of Education. They want to harm our students, take jobs away from teachers, all to profit off of private education. Justice will prevail.
For Trump and Musk, billionaire tax breaks are more urgent than teaching kids to read or count. They put profits first and your children last.    I’m a former elementary school teacher, I won’t stand by as they try to dismantle the Department of Education.
These illegal firings risk the FTC’s ability to stand up to corporate abuses and protect consumers. President Trump is making yet another agency into a political tool for his billionaire buddies. It leaves Americans defenseless against skyrocketing prices and unchecked monopolies.
New just now: President Trump has fired the two Democratic commissioners at the FTC, per sources - confirming Reuters report earlier this hour. This leaves just two Republican commissioners currently seated on the 5-member commission.
I relied on her steady leadership and advice for so many years and marveled as she has navigated one of the most important positions in the entire Congress, Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee. Nita will surely be missed, but she leaves a legacy behind that is second to none.
I’m truly heartbroken to hear about the passing of my dear friend and mentor, former Congresswoman Nita Lowey. Nita was the foremost champion of human rights and enhanced the role of women in development.
I’m heartbroken to hear the news about my dear friend and colleague, Congressman Raúl Grijalva. A guiding light in the halls of Congress, Raúl was a steadfast champion in the fight to protect our environment and ensure all people can have access to quality, affordable health care.
JUST IN: Arizona Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva has died at 77 due to complications from cancer treatment. cnn.it/3Frkpvb
House Democrats stand united behind a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts to hardworking Americans, keeps the government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement. I'm ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.
For too long, greedy oil companies have been able to take advantage of a massive loophole that allows them to avoid paying taxes on tar sands oil. I'm partnering with @markey.senate.gov to close this loophole and ensure Big Oil companies pay their fair share.
This week, I sent a letter to @FCC with 22 of my colleagues concerned about deteriorating quality of a program that helps deaf Americans make phone calls. This community deserves high quality service and ASL interpreters deserve good working conditions and competitive wages.
Trump and Republicans are working hard every day to make your children's school worse and take away your health care so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.
As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
The House GOP just passed a funding bill that gives President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk power to steal from the middle class, seniors, veterans, working people, and small businesses to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Trump is making life harder for working people.
Good. This attempt by the Trump administration to arrest and deport a legal permanent resident over their speech is an alarming violation of immigration law and the first amendment, and will only make our Jewish communities less safe.
A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, anti-abortion extremists have relentlessly threatened and attacked patients and health care providers—blatantly violating federal law.  Instead of prosecuting these criminals, Trump and Republicans are trying to gut this critical protection.
