If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

My district is home to NIH and thousands of nonpartisan scientists who spur innovation and research cures for cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, heart disease and more. President Trump and the GOP are jeopardizing vital medical research.

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

THREAD 1. America has always been its contradictions. Everything good & bad about humanity, both turned up to 11. We were founded by slavers who wanted freedom. The same document that says "all men are created equal" also includes the words "merciless Indian savages."

Jim Short has passed away. He was the best. We never settled our differences but he was pretty much the love of my life. Friends are precious. Squash those beefs when you can. Love you Jim. #RIP

This holiday season, House Republicans want to break a bipartisan deal and furlough millions of hardworking federal workers— including 50,000 in my district—to placate the richest man in the world, President-Elect Elon Musk and his VP JD Vance. I voted NO.

Astonishing scenes of lawmakers fighting for access to their own chambers to restore the rule of law in South Korea yesterday. With unity and resolve, the parliament rejected a rogue president's try for martial law, stood up for their democracy and galvanized freedom-fighters everywhere.

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on. But ask yourself: Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Helpful tip: If you voted for a guy who openly stole $ from Americans w/a scam online University... ...you don't ever get to complain to the rest of us about 'respecting our laws.' Now sit down, and wait for the billionaires to care about you.

Hegseth is so innocent he paid off the woman who accused him of rape & got her to sign an NDA. Gaetz is so innocent he resigned Congress to keep the report from coming out, after asking for a pardon. Trump is so innocent only 26 women have accused him of doing what he said on tape he likes to do.

"Republicans have relied on pure fatigue on the part of reporters for a long time. You’ve got hundreds of right-wing outlets screaming bloody murder every minute of the day about bias, about deception, about prejudice. It’s all playing the ref. It’s all a game to them."
