It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

RM @meeks.house.gov: CQ Brown comes from a long line of servicemembers. He earned his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and his firing is a disgrace. For this administration, if you are black, qualifications don’t matter…they only see people of color as DEI hires.

Republicans in Congress are about to vote to explode the deficit & cut at-home care for seniors, in order to fund tax cuts for people who don't need tax cuts. Their town halls are going to get a lot angrier after that. youtu.be/T3JI07rL9gs

Nicole shared with me that Medicaid cuts would mean she can’t afford even one month of medication for her son with special needs. I heard so many powerful stories like hers at San Ysidro Health’s El Cajon clinic – and that’s why I’ll keep fighting for Medicaid.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

Today, I spoke to 13News Now about rumors Trump may fire General CQ Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump has since fired him. Trump is purging those who put their oath to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution over blind loyalty to him.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone.

Firing 7,000 IRS employees in the middle of tax filing season won't make the system more "efficient." But it WILL make it easier for Trump's donor buddies to cheat on their taxes. Once again, Republicans would rather help their billionaire friends than hard-working Americans.

HHS must lead with science, integrity, and compassion—because health care is a right, not a privilege. That’s why I stand with #HouseDemocrats in calling on Secretary Kennedy to uphold our nation’s commitment to accessible, quality health care for all.

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

Those who came before us in Black history continue to guide us like a North Star as we carry on the fight for democracy. On what would have been the birthday of the late Congressman John Lewis, may we all find the courage to get into some “good trouble.”

Brand-name prescription drugs invented in America cost more than twice as much in the U.S. as in Canada. Americans deserve better. This week, I introduced bipartisan legislation to save Americans money by allowing them to import their medications from pharmacies in Canada.
