What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

Hey DC! It’s happening tonight! My live town hall with @repjasmine.bsky.social @rosie.com Michael Fanone @oliviaoftroye.com @libradunn1.bsky.social @tarasetmayer.bsky.social @aaronparnas.bsky.social and Miles Taylor at the Lincoln Theatre. Join us! www.ticketmaster.com/the-fire-wit....

Consent decrees save lives. They protect rights. They hold systems accountable. I alongside @repsummerlee.bsky.social and Rep. Lucy McBath are leading the charge demanding the DOJ reinstate these decrees—because our communities deserve more than thoughts and prayers.

Wait WHAT?! People are bracing for storms and this man just found out the weather exists?! This is what happens when you hire vibes over qualifications.

OUR FRANCHISE SCORING LEADER 🎯

Where’s the lie? @jasmineforus.bsky.social is right.

Two more thoughts for the day. 1. love the takedown- and 2. it should be repeated WITH EVERY SINGLE election denier. especially very publicly and when they are running.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

MUST WATCH: They bombed a church and killed 4 little Black girls. The FBI knew—and hid it. No arrests for 40 years. This was terrorism. Now they’re banning books to erase it. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they buried. Read it before they ban that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

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.

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.

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.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

House chamber burst into laughter when Marjorie Taylor Greene called for "decorum."

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

The hits just keep on coming.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

Frank Bisignano has made clear he will not stop Trump and Musk’s Social Security chaos. Today, we’re voting on his nomination. For every American who counts on Social Security, I’m a NO.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Chicago is on to something.

If you’ll be in DC on May 12, come hear me interview @mehdirhasan.bsky.social on the occasion of @zeteo.com ‘s first birthday. Get your tickets here while they last! www.ticketweb.com/event/zeteo-...

Happy Heavenly Birthday 🎂 Remembering Nick Ashford on what would have been his 84th birthday.

Thank God he finally has a city he can commit crimes in with impunity—as you know that fundamentally that's where this is headed His handmaidens and spawn will be moved to Starbase and what happens to them there... well, you better believe you will never hear about it and no one will talk about it.

The facts are the facts: their proposed budget is not going to make life easier for 99% of us. I can’t WAIT until the day that Republicans decide to show up and work for the people who elected them.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.
