Trump broke it.

Mass deportations deepen our workforce crisis, drive up costs for everyone, and break up people who are a part of our communities while doing it. No one asked for this. Check out my full interview with Zerlina Maxwell here: youtu.be/yKXpQw09zs0?...

If Rep. Young Kim (R) won’t speak with her constituents, I will. Join me this Thursday in CA-40 for an in-person Town Hall where we’ll talk Trump’s authoritarianism, GOP budget cuts to healthcare and education, and Young Kim’s deafening silence. Sign up here: www.mobilize.us/dpoc/event/8...

Being a dad is the greatest honor of my life. Today I’m also thinking of my own dad. A retired cop who taught me about service, sacrifice, and showing up. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures out there.

Why did JD Vance call Donald Trump America’s Hitler?

Donald Trump is a mad king. He’s deported a 4-year old and arrested a U.S. Senator. Between those two fall the rest of us. He must be stopped.

This weekend’s protests aren’t just about immigration—they’re about standing up to a mad king who’s targeting anyone who dares to dissent.

Get real and get over it.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

Governor Newsom showed us how you take on a wannabe dictator: head-on. Trump can jail dissenters, but he'll never silence America’s voice. We surrender that to no one.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Just voted NO (again) on the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which rips health care from 15M Americans, so Trump’s billionaire bros can cash in. At least 13 Republicans didn’t even read the bill and still voted for it. They’re not serious people. I’ll keep fighting to ensure this scam is stopped in the Senate

Joined my colleague Rep. Tim Burchett to talk tonight’s big game. 30,000 fans, nearly $3M raised for local charities, and one shared goal: bringing people together through America’s pastime.

Rep. McIver was indicted for doing her job. That's some bullshit. This is political retaliation, plain and simple. Democrats stand with her. You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.

Trump says L.A. is “burning”? Tell that to the families displaced by the January fires families he’s done NOTHING to help. Instead of going after violent criminals, he deported a 4-year-old cancer patient, detained a U.S. Marshal, and spent $134M on a political stunt. Californians aren’t buying it.

RFK Jr. just fired the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel. This isn’t just anti-science, it’s anti-kid, anti-health, and anti-American. He’s gutting public health while the world snaps up our scientists. He’s not fighting cancer, he’s lobbying for it.

Bullies only understand strength. That’s why I’ve been on the offense against Trump. Proud to see @gavinnewsom.bsky.social doing the same. We don’t back down.

Donald Trump promised to deport violent criminals. Instead, his administration deported a 4-year-old American citizen with cancer, tearing him from treatment. We asked the DHS secretary for evidence weeks ago. Crickets. @magaziner.house.gov and I are not letting it go.

Our National Guard troops are sleeping in squalor in Los Angeles. This is how Donald Trump treats the people who serve us. No respect. No dignity. Just exploitation for his political gain. Call them back. Let local leaders lead. Stop the abuse.

Elon Musk called out Trump’s connection to Epstein, and Trump didn’t sue. That silence is very telling coming from the most litigious man on Earth. What else is he hiding?

Trump deported a 4-year-old American battling cancer. Now he wants to send in the Marines to L.A.? Give me a break. The real emergency is Americans paying way too damn much at Walmart and Home Depot thanks to his tariffs. Fix that.

Trump promised to deport violent criminals. Instead, he deported a 4-year-old cancer patient. Now he’s fueling chaos again. Don’t give him what he wants. If you’re showing up to protest with violence in L.A.—go the fuck home. Peaceful protesters have a case. Let them be heard.

Donald Trump doesn’t want solutions—he wants chaos. Deploying the National Guard without state or local request is about drawing a foul, not restoring order. Peaceful protestors should flood the streets with American flags, not give him the violence he craves.

On a cold spring morning, we hiked, we shared stories, and we showed up for each other. That’s what democracy looks like. Let’s keep showing up. Let’s meet the moment. I’ll see you on June 14 for #NoKingsDay.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for Hike with Your Rep at beautiful Lake Chabot! It was great to walk, talk, and hear from so many CA-14 neighbors. Big thanks to the @regionalparkspd and @ebrpd park staff for keeping us safe and making this special day possible!

Out at Lake Chabot, I heard from constituents worried about ICE targeting neighbors just trying to follow the rules. We’re not China or Russia -- due process matters. We must protect our country without tearing families apart.

The AFGE brought the 🔥 and the signs to our office today. They made it clear: federal workers deserve decent pay, decent retirement, decent working conditions—and not to get DOGED. We’ve got your back.

With 218 signatures, we can end Trump’s tariffs—the hidden tax driving up prices at Walmart, Home Depot, and Target. It’s time to lower costs for working families. Let’s get it done!

Florida’s own @repmoskowitz.bsky.social joins me to break down the real disaster area: The Trump White House. Spoiler: FEMA might not be able to clean this one up.

I’m Democrat David Jolly, and I’m launching my campaign today for Governor of Florida. Our state is in crisis — not just a crisis of policy, not right versus left, but a crisis of right versus wrong. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Donald, without Elon, you wouldn't be President now. You'd be a Prisoner.

Reading is fundamental!

I caught up with @repdangoldman.bsky.social  on the Capitol subway to get his take on reading bills. His view? It’s generally a good idea when IT’S YOUR JOB! Check it out! 🚂

Grateful for all my names and those who call me them.

When Republicans fire cancer doctors to fund tax breaks for billionaires, we fight back. Health care is our bread & butter. We’re the party of Medicare, the ACA, and cures—not cruelty. You get cancer, you shouldn’t go broke. We’re for cures. They’re for cuts.

The head of FEMA joked about not knowing hurricane season had started. Americans work too damn hard and pay too much to be governed by clowns. When lives are at stake, we need serious leadership, not punchlines.

We can fight for immigrants AND for public safety. My district is proof: 40% born outside the U.S., and one of the wealthiest, safest in America. Voters want a secure border and safe communities—Democrats must deliver both.

I love that Trump is going copy + paste on Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. *Which Trump backed out of in his 1st term.

If you're truly pro-family, you don't slash support for moms and newborns. This GOP plan is anti-family, plain and simple.

After unleashing chaos across the country, Elon is out✌🏼

Nuff said 🌮

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.

We’re not falling for the propaganda Trump and MAGA Republicans are pushing 🚫

Let’s stop this Trump train wreck.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

I caught up with @kamlager-dove.house.gov on the Capitol subway to get her take on the GOP budget bill. Her review? “Batshit. Bonkers. Bananas!” Check it out!

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he’s pushing a billionaire tax cut while families pay more for goods. He should walk down the grocery store aisle before walking into Congress.

Trump showed up to Congress today when he should’ve been at the grocery store. Prices are up, aisles are empty, and families are feeling the pain. Americans need relief, not another tax giveaway to the rich.

When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. @replamonica.bsky.social was doing her job, now she's being prosecuted for it. We're standing with her.
