Over 100 million Americans rely on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid - and Speaker Johnson and House Republicans have been scheming to rip these benefits away. I joined more than 200 House Democrats to demand they keep their hands off these vital programs.

If you want to meaningfully influence your Member of Congress + Senator on Social Security and Medicaid (core disability policy areas), call them every day. That's the first thing to do. If you can do more? Absolutely do more - meet with their office, show up to a townhall with a question

Elon Musk just called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” And his team is working to gut the agency that makes sure your grandpa gets his check on time. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’m supporting a bill to increase benefits by $2,400/year and expand the program’s solvency.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

No one cares if federal employees were asked to submit what they did last week. As a teacher, this is how I lived my life. Submit weekly lesson plans. The problem is, Elon wasn’t elected by anyone and has no business asking shit of federal employees.

Trump is trying to shut down an agency that protects working-class Americans’ pocketbooks, life savings, and financial stability. I'm fighting back with over 200 House Democrats to challenge his illegal scheme to let greedy corporations take advantage of people.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

👑👑👑???? After Trump’s premeditated ambush of Zelensky will the King of England withdraw his invitation? It is now abundantly obvious, by his vile stunt, Donald Trump is a Russian asset. Thus, declaring his allegiance to a Totalitarian Dictator, not Democratic Idealism in Charles II’s England.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”
