I sit on the Oversight Committee as the Vice Ranking Member, and let me be clear: this ain’t oversight, it’s a damn joke.

Team Crockett is coming to the Duncanville Rec Center this Tuesday from 6-8PM. Need help with a federal agency or have questions about casework? Stop by our Mobile Office Hours and let us help you get answers.

Trump promised not to cut Medicare, but his billionaire tax heist adds so much to the deficit that it will likely trigger more than $500 million in Medicare cuts. The super-rich get richer while seniors struggle to pay for medicine—all thanks to the GOP. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

My mom always said nothing good happens after midnight - and that’s still true.

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

President Trump has not wasted a moment using his position of power for personal gain. Today’s official acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One poses a needless threat to U.S. national security and is a disturbing abuse of the office of the President.

This Congresswoman did nothing wrong. So why is Alina Habba indicting her? open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

I signed into law critical legislation to protect Marylanders’ rights, environment, and shared values – including cracking down on reckless driving with the Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act.

Sending love, support and solidarity to President Biden and his family. We know he’ll face this cancer fight with the same grace, tenacity and strength he has shown throughout a lifetime of public and private battles. This man shows us what character and courage are made of.

Hands Across Chicagoland today! And everyday in our actions until this ends.

My heart is with President Biden and his family. Lifting him up in prayer and wishing him a peaceful, successful healing journey. www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/p...

Nobody better ever ask me again why I don’t just give the Trumps and #maga a chance.

Adding $2.5 trillion to federal debt, gutting Medicaid and health care, trashing Meals on Wheels, Head Start and SNAP, and cutting a giant tax break to benefit the wealthiest people and corporations. Trump could not be offering us a worse program.     www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. So I’m glad the Supreme Court decided to uphold the Constitution instead of letting Trump weaponize an 18th-century law.

Republicans crash the economy. Democrats save it. Repeat every 4-8 years.

On #ArmedForcesDay, I recognize the strength, sacrifice, and service of the brave men and women in uniform. Y’all don’t just serve—you lead, protect, and persevere. Your sacrifice doesn’t go unnoticed.

The people of TX-30 elected me to speak up and speak out for them — and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do.

Good Night World

"Trump isn’t only failing by his critics’ standards; he’s failing by his own standards..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

SMH - Walking back yet another round of tariffs! This administration continues to recklessly implement policies with little regard for their harmful impacts on our hardworking Americans.

Today marks 100 days since Trump took office, and he has already left Arizona families worse off. More from my press call with @repyassansari.bsky.social ⬇️

Federal workers show up for the American people every day. They do their jobs. Donald Trump should try doing his. Stop trashing the Constitution and our laws.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule. Watch this clip from @podsaveamerica.crooked.com:

Elon is just one way the Trump Administration is selling out to China. Decimate American leadership in health innovation at HHS? Check. Slash funding for research and development? Check. Threaten to invade our allies and impose blanket tariffs? Check.

Bill probably thinks the person "recommending" these dumb policies is a DEI hire who must be immediately fired and their college thesis investigated for plagiarism.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

He’s golfing with the Saudis in Florida while your retirement savings evaporates by the second. Never before have we seen an American President ruin the economy on purpose.

#C-Span2 The Republican Senators voted Against the American people this morning on the House Floor at 1:40a central. Shameful

America First, America Alone…

Too many people are being misled or left in the dark when it comes to abortion care. That’s why Rep. Goldman and I re-introduce the Abortion Care Awareness Act of 2025.

Trump watches golf while the stock market tanks

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Congresswoman Love's passing. Despite our differences across the aisle, she was a testament to the power of Black women when we set our minds to what we believe in. I send my condolences to her family and loved ones.

My latest, on the dumb people running our little American autocracy. Hide your war plans! www.joyannreid.com/p/the-daily-...
