To be clear: Trump’s expanded travel ban is rooted in racism, not national security concerns. It’s plainly racist policy that does nothing to make our country safer.

Trump’s DOJ says it won’t meet today’s deadline to release the Epstein files. This smells like a White House cover-up.
The law requires ALL non-exempt records to be turned in by midnight.
The victims deserve justice and accountability.

Mike Johnson has adjourned the House for 2025 — without a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
While millions of Americans are losing health care, Republicans are going on another vacation.
Democrats will keep fighting because you deserve better.
At 16, Barbara Rose Johns led a walkout at her segregated Virginia high school. Her courage helped spark the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, which ended school segregation.
It’s wonderful to join Virginia in honoring her legacy with a statue in Emancipation Hall.
I’ve been an advocate for fusion energy for a long time because I believe in fusion’s incredible promise of safe, clean, and abundant energy.
The merger between Trump Media and TAE raises significant concerns about conflicts of interest and avenues for potential corruption.
New Joint Economic Committee @jecdems.bsky.social analysis:
"In just 10 months the average American family has already paid nearly $1,200 in tariff costs, with the costs climbing steadily since the beginning of President Trump’s second term."

Earlier this year Republicans passed a bill that stripped health care from millions of Americans.
That was a monstrous bill; today they are trying to pass a cowardly bill.
I spoke against their flimsy "health care" bill that fails to prevent skyrocketing health costs.

Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.
The lives of American soldiers should not be risked in an illegal war with Venezuela for regime change, or for oil, or on any other pretext.
To get fusion energy on the grid, we need a coordinated federal push.
Our bill creates an Office of Fusion at the Department of Energy to provide focused leadership and expertise, working with the private sector to unlock a promising clean energy solution and deliver fusion power.
My Democratic colleagues and I are ready to work in good faith to avoid health care price spikes caused by the Republicans’ big ugly bill.
We have been fighting for months to save the tax credits that help make health care more affordable, and we won't stop fighting.

Americans are paying more for groceries, electricity, housing, and health care, as Republicans pass legislation that drives costs higher.
Republicans are surrendering their power to stop Trump’s tariffs – the one thing they could do that would most help our flagging economy.
Tariffs were supposed to bring back manufacturing jobs, but manufacturing job numbers are plummeting.

Even Trump's Chief of Staff publicly admits that Trump's tariffs have been more painful than she expected.
In the year before Trump took office, the U.S. averaged +168K jobs per month.
In the seven months with Trump's tariffs, that fell to just 17K.
We hadn't had a negative monthly jobs number since Trump's first term; since "Liberation Day" we've had three.

This disastrous jobs report makes it clear that this is not an ‘A++++ economy’ as President Trump claimed, it’s an economy at risk of sliding into recession.
Trump’s tariffs are most to blame for the hiring slump.
Asked by Dasha Burns in a new interview to grade the economy under his presidency, President Trump gives it an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus."
Gallup has only 36% of voters approving of his handling of the economy.

Today's U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the unemployment rate rose to 4.6 percent, the highest level since the pandemic.
The economy lost jobs on balance over the months of October (-108,000 jobs) and November (+64,000 jobs).
My statement:

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike.
The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S.
It wasn't carrying fentanyl.
The survivors didn't "radio for backup."
This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. https://to.pbs.org/4pZJb8p
The year before Trump took office, the US averaged +168,000 jobs per month.
It added just 119,000 jobs TOTAL in 7 months since Trump's tariffs began.
The unemployment rate just hit its highest level in 4+ years.
Even Trump's Chief of Staff admits his tariffs hurt our economy.
