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.
Our civil servants deliver critical services to the American people. But from Day 1, Trump has sought to replace a merit based system with one full of cronies.   This week, @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social , @hoyer.house.gov, & I, launched the bipartisan Federal Workforce Caucus to help these patriots.
Senator Van Hollen stands at a podium with the sign Federal Workforce Caucus, inside the U.S. Capitol on February 4, 2026.
The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry. As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.
Trump lied when he said he'd target “the worst of the worst.” TPS protects those who would otherwise be in grave danger. They are legally residing here & contribute to our economy & communities. Glad judges have halted Trump’s reckless termination of TPS for Haiti & Ethiopia.
Watch this space: After Trump & Musk gutted the IRS of employees who process tax returns, provide customer service, & hold corporate fat cats accountable, they're understaffed for tax season. What does that mean? Corporate cheats skate by & your returns get messed up & delayed.
A devastating day for the paper of record in our nation's capital. Bezos just spent $40M sucking up to Trump with Amazon's 'Melania', but is now cutting a third of @washingtonpost.com staff – including much of the international & local teams – for "budget" reasons? (1/2)
Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms. In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections. We must mobilize to protect our democracy.
