DEMOCRATS in Congress, take note of what resistance actually looks like. The American people, against Trump and Musk, are peacefully protesting— it’s showing signs of working…

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.” - Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

If you are a Dem member of Congress and you’re not getting into good trouble and being kicked out tonight, you’re doing it wrong. Try harder. Yell louder. #Resist #TrumpAddress

After Trump & Vance’s utterly disgraceful performance it’s good to see European leaders step up. It’s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trump’s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

Q: “I’m wondering how you feel about Trump pardoning the 1/6 rioters?” @RepHarshbarger was evasive, claimed she didn’t know who he pardoned, then peddled the lie that the 1/6 committee destroyed evidence — and the town hall crowd wasn’t buying any of it.

House votes 217-215 to approve Republicans' budget resolution, which now goes to the Senate. Republicans in that chamber will need to adopt the budget res to unlock the reconciliation process the GOP plans to use to address border security, defense, energy and tax.

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social called Trump a grifter and Republicans had a pathetic meltdown. They struck his words from the committee transcript because it hurt Trump’s feelings. This isn't oversight, it's obedience. (video via @acyn.bsky.social)

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
