When Trump fails to fund science and attacks the civil servants who drive discovery and innovation – our brightest minds leave for better opportunities. That means medical cures and breakthrough technologies might never be discovered.
Trump's brain drain hurts us all.

Apparently the Trump Administration thinks the trillions they spent on tax cuts for the wealthy wasn't enough. Now they're planning another huge tax windfall for the biggest corporations in the country.
@warren.senate.gov and I are leading the charge against this.

Racism should never be a barrier to lawful immigration or naturalization, but that’s what the Trump Administration is doing.
People who followed every rule to earn citizenship are seeing it ripped away simply because they are not white.
It's just wrong.
www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
Welcoming new Americans taking the oath after the arduous process of seeking citizenship is one of my favorite things. It's a wonderful experience that helps you see why people have looked to America with hope for over two centuries, and reminds you what makes our country great.
The Inspector General report found that Hegseth put our troops at risk.
He thinks it “exonerates” him and makes him look good.
This man’s failure and stupidity puts Americans at risk and he would never have gotten near a job this important in any competent administration.
This is just racism, and Trump's racist language is being coupled with racist policy to block people including many vetted under this administration who pursued legal status and citizenship the way they were supposed to, just because they aren't white. It's awful and immoral.
Trump unleashes xenophobic tirade against Somalis, branding them "garbage" in an outburst that was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry even for a president known for his history of insulting Black people, write Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...
Hegseth's recklessness put our troops at risk.
His orders led to what were likely war crimes.
He was never qualified.
He set an atrocious example for the world's most powerful military.
Most people who failed this badly at their jobs would be fired. He should be fired too.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.
Trump's tariffs are crushing America's small businesses.

Yet again, Trump and Rollins are illegally threatening to withhold federal dollars. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any government program, but Trump continues to weaponize hunger.
This man just went free thanks to President Trump:
www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...
Trump used drugs as pretext for illegal killings in the Caribbean, and as pretext for illegal, inflation-spiking tariffs.
But he just pardoned a man who "flooded America with cocaine" and boasted that he'd “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”
Trump's corruption is endless.
Virginia families are paying the price for Republican inaction. They can’t continue to wait longer – it’s time for Republicans to join Democrats in extending ACA subsidies that make health care more affordable.
cardinalnews.org/2025/11/26/v...
Americans are facing an affordability crisis and struggling with higher costs because of Trump’s tariff policies, but it doesn't have to be this way.
Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses.

We’re a full month into ACA Open Enrollment.
Families are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford to pay double, triple, and even quadruple in premiums.
But Republicans are still uninterested in joining Democrats to stop these disastrous price hikes.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you and your families have a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
The House wasted a crazy amount of time this week on measures to punish each other.
That isn't what the American people sent us here to do.
I'm introducing a reform with Rep. Don Bacon to fix this broken process and raise the level of sanity in the House.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.
The BLS jobs report released today shows the unemployment rate rose in September to its highest level since 2021.
It also shows that the U.S. economy *lost* jobs in August, after losing jobs in June.
Prior to this year, we hadn't seen a negative monthly jobs number since 2020.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 94k over the last year, & another 6k jobs were lost in September
Transportation (especially auto manufacturing) and electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but almost no subsectors are doing well
