The GOP majority has refused to compromise on a government funding bill. So despite what some of my GOP colleagues claim, it’s up to them to pass their own partisan plan.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

Thank you to everyone who joined tonight's town hall and asked such thoughtful questions. Oregonians are terrified about what Trump's lawlessness means for them and for America. I'm focused on making sure Republicans will have to answer for how they're hurting you and your family.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

Trump and Musk have fired many dedicated scientists who were doing critical work in Oregon and across the country. I went to the House floor to share a story from a fired USDA scientist in Oregon: #ScienceFirings

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

In 2014, Norris retired as a lieutenant in the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department with shoulder and other physical injuries. He’s taking $150,000 a year in disability payments from LA county while serving as a Sheriff in Idaho. Sounds like a lot of fraud to me — where the fuck is DOGE?

Idaho Sheriff Norris is an ex-LASD deputy (of course) and collects disability while also serving as sheriff. Sadly this isn’t illegal. Retired or disabled LEO can collect their pension and work. (Teachers cannot) lamag.com/news/educato...

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

I just want to thank multitudes of federal workers who have reached out to me with what’s going on in your respective agencies. It might not seem like much, but the simple act of reaching out is an act of resistance. So thank you 🙏

Today I stood in front of the Department of Labor to show Donald Trump and Elon Musk that we will fight their attempts to undermine the rights and livelihoods of federal employees and American workers. A lawsuit has already been filed to challenge this dangerous intrusion by DOGE.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
