Trump has been in office for 100 days. Groceries are more expensive. Retirement savings are shrinking. Health care is on the chopping block. Local schools are being defunded. And billionaires are getting a tax break.

One word for Trump’s first 100 days? DISASTROUS. Prices are up, essential programs are under attack, and Americans are suffering. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back in Congress, in the courts, and in our streets. We won't back down.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Our government is actively taking the position that it can grab anybody it says is a foreign terrorist off the streets and put them in a Latin American prison, and if they get it wrong, there's no recourse. The contempt for law and liberty here is beyond belief.

Under Republicans’ SAVE Act, your driver’s license won’t be enough to vote. You’ll need: 1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130 OR 2. A birth certificate with your current legal name, which nearly 70 million married women lack OR

How many times will the GOP bail out billionaires while working Americans foot the bill? Tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Special treatment for corporations. Market games that leave families behind. This isn’t about helping people it’s about protecting power and profit at any cost.

Republicans can’t even defend their own actions—they’re too busy trying to justify the unjustifiable. I’ll always fight for what’s right. But how can we have real progress when the other side refuses to even start a conversation? Now’s the time to push back—with action

I'm asking the questions we all want answers to. At 9:37 AM, Trump told his followers to buy stocks. The market was tanking. The Trade Rep was set to defend harmful tariffs.Mid-hearing—Trump flips. No warning. Not even to his top trade official. This isn’t leadership. It’s chaos.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Two weeks ago, I introduced the Humans Over Private Equity (HOPE) for Homeownership Act alongside Sen. Merkley to put an end to hedge funds’ control on single-family homes. The $ of housing is too high and we must crack down on corporate greed to make rent and single-family homes more affordable.
