JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

The Secretary of Defense thinks embracing diversity weakens our military. He couldn’t be more wrong. Diversity has made us strong since the birth of our nation. Welcoming all who serve makes us stronger, more cohesive, and mission-ready.

Fascism survives so long as the evil at the top is supported by cowards below. Is any Republican in Congress willing to stand against Elon Musk and for the American People? Or will they sit in cowardly complicity with the evil of their leaders?

Billionaire government contractor Elon Musk ponied up $290 MILLION to get Trump elected. Now he’s collecting on the debt by seizing control over the government’s multi-trillion-dollar payment system and Americans’ private financial data. Conflict of interest anyone?

Democrats have a plan to stand up to Trump and Elon's hostile takeover of the government. We cannot allow an unelected billionaire bureaucrat to access Americans' private data or control the Treasury Department’s checkbook. I'm supporting legislation to halt these illegal actions.

🚨Killing USAID makes us LESS SAFE. People will suffer and die if that funding disappears, and instability around the world will increase. American Troops could be put into harm’s way as a result, and it will benefit our adversaries. It is blatantly, unequivocally unconstitutional.

Today, I sent a letter, with @congresstran.bsky.social, calling out Speaker Johnson’s baseless claims of CA voter fraud and his attempts to put conditions on CA wildfire aid. Let’s be clear: There is no voter fraud in California. And conditions on wildfire aid are un-American and pathetic.

The same House Republicans who claim to support working families and veterans are the same ones actively pushing us toward a devastating government shutdown. Now they have two choices: side with Elon Musk & Donald Trump or stand with the families, farmers, and seniors who need them.
