Rubio's standing ovation in Munich after he declared the end of the “rules based order” shows how weak many European “leaders” have become. Instead of defending universal human rights they folded to his siren song of blood & soil. I called out Rubio's Trump-lobotomy last March:
The RSF murdered 6,000 people in the city of El Fasher in only 3 days. What more will it take for the Trump Admin to act? Congress must pass my & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill to halt US arms sales to the UAE until we know they have stopped arming the RSF’s slaughter in Sudan.
Trump cut Medicaid & SNAP so he could use that money to warehouse millions of people who, according to DHS’s own numbers, pose no threat to public safety. It's inhumane & a waste of your taxpayer money. We need to claw back these funds & put an end to their prison camps.
Trump’s 1st year in office had the worst job growth this decade, excluding COVID. In that same year, the 1% got a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts, the Trump family got $1.4 BILLION richer, & Americans paid $192 BILLION in tariff-related costs. Working people are getting fleeced.
We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect. Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings. Not one more dime for this lawlessness.
🚨 This is another win for Big Oil and other big polluters at the expense of everyone else. Instead of giving polluters a free ride, we should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make them — not all of us — pay the bill for the huge amount of damage they’ve caused.
Azerbaijani President Aliyev's authoritarian regime has jailed two US-affiliated journalists for the crime of truthful reporting. I hope the VP — who lectured our allies about free speech — got a commitment for their release. Or is free speech only for his ideological allies?
Secretary Lutnick made a big show of telling us about how he cut off contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. That was a lie. Today he confirmed that in 2012 — after Epstein was convicted — Lutnick visited Epstein's island. What else is he not telling us? We need answers.
The CFPB has returned billions of dollars to Americans who were conned & scammed by big corporations. Naturally, many billionaires didn't like that, so they had Trump go after the CFPB. That's why we must protect the CFPB & ensure the rich don't get to play by their own rules.
Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin. He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.
Today is a dark day for press freedom in Hong Kong. The PRC is snuffing out what was once a beacon of light. I stand in solidarity with Jimmy. The Trump Admin must stop looking the other way & enforce my Hong Kong Autonomy Act. Silence in the face of repression is unacceptable.

The Trump Admin is still stonewalling on the Epstein Files. They have shared survivors' identities while actively shielding the Epstein Class. The survivors and the public deserve the WHOLE truth — not just what the DOJ wants to reveal. Accountability demands it.
