Kings went out of style in the United States of America in 1776. The people will peacefully make sure that never changes.

The culture of violence that has been created by political extremists in this country must end.

My statement on the tragic and targeted attack on Minnesota elected officials.

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump illegally commandeered the California National Guard. Control must now be returned to Governor Newsom by tomorrow at Noon. There are no Kings in the United States of America.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

The GOP Tax Scam will rip healthcare away from 16 million everyday Americans in order to reward their billionaire donors. There are 53 Republicans in the Senate. We only need four to join us and we can stop the one big ugly bill from ever becoming law.

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

My statement on the arrest of California SEIU President David Huerta.

This week in DC brought us one, big nasty fight between Trump and Musk. Our focus must remain on killing the GOP Tax Scam which is one, big ugly bill designed to hurt everyday Americans.

The war between Trump and Musk has House Republicans shook right now.

The GOP Tax Scam rips healthcare away from millions of everyday Americans. Yes, that’s a disgusting abomination.

The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. Truer words have never been spoken.

Trump is attacking the federalist society, Musk is attacking the big ugly bill and Congressional Republicans are attacking each other. House Democrats are fighting for you. The extremists are fighting each other.

The Trump tariffs are raising costs on everyday Americans and driving the economy toward a recession. The Court of International Trade has now correctly concluded he doesn’t even have the legal authority to impose them. Enough.

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Rep. Charlie Rangel was a phenomenal patriot, hero, statesman, leader, trailblazer, change agent & champion for justice. The Lion of Lenox Ave was a transformational force of nature. Harlem, NYC & America are better today because of his service. May he forever rest in power.

Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the economy. Costs are up, the stock market is down and America’s credit rating has been downgraded. Is another Republican Recession next?

Every single House Democrat voted to protect the healthcare of the American people after back to back all night sessions. The battle is not over. We are just getting started.

House Republicans are ripping food from the mouths of children. This has nothing to do with waste, fraud and abuse. Cruelty is the point.

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

House Democrats have introduced hundreds of amendments in the last 24 hours to stop the GOP Tax Scam. Flood The Zone.

Alina Habba is a partisan hack and Trump lackey who will never be confirmed as a United States Attorney.

Donald Trump is on the Hill to demand that House Republicans end Medicaid as we know it in America. They can all get lost.

House Democratic Leadership Statement on Trump's Attempt to Intimidate Congress.

House Republicans are trying to pass their extreme budget in the dead of night. We are fighting hard to stop them.

My statement with respect to President Joe Biden and his battle with cancer.

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

House Democrats on the Budget Committee led the charge and just defeated the GOP Tax Scam. Republicans have been sent home for the weekend. We will always protect the healthcare of the American people and never surrender to this extreme agenda.

Republicans would rather pardon violent felons who attacked the Capitol than honor the police officers who protected it.

House Democrats are fighting hard to protect the healthcare of the American people. Meanwhile. Republicans have become the party of the Presidential Palace in the Sky.

Just got back to DC. The healthcare battle is a matter of life and death.

Imagine the uproar had President Obama accepted a $400 million flying palace from a foreign power close to Iran. These MAGA extremists have zero credibility.

Happy Mother’s Day!!! 🌸💐🌷🌹🌺

Keep your hands off the American people.

Voted NO on the Republican bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico. And made clear on the House Floor that America is not down with MTG.

House Democrats have just launched a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation protecting Medicaid and SNAP.

Donald Trump is lying to the American people when he says that Republicans do not plan to cut Medicaid.

We will not let this guy abolish Veterans Day.

Trump is ousting his National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Next up? The woefully unqualified Secretary of Defense must resign or be fired immediately.

This is not Joe Biden’s economy. It’s your failed economy, Donald.

The first 100 days of the Trump Administration have been a debacle.

The Women of the Six Triple Eight are true American heroes.

Congress is back in session today. We will PRESS ON to save Medicaid and defeat the extreme Republican budget.

For. The. People.

We will continue to show up, speak up and stand up until we end this national nightmare. Tune in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mme...

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

The appeasement of Putin’s aggression will never work. Stand with Ukraine and make peace possible.
