Trump continues to lie about the ballroom and say that Presidents have wanted this for 150 years. I asked the congressional research service and they had no mention of any president or any administration ever asking for a ballroom!

House Republicans are refusing to concur with last nights Senate action
,by unanimous consent, they reached a compromise that funds every agency in homeland security, except for ICE and non enforcement parts of CBP. So TSA GETS PAID!
But the House Republicans can’t accept a win and chaos prevails.
When you write laws that affect people with disabilities, you should INCLUDE people with disabilities in the conversation.
Too often, it’s the opposite—decisions about us get made without us. And the burden gets pushed onto the very people they saw the law is supposed to help. It’s just wrong.
Our country is experiencing the hottest March on record—and we’ve got a President who STILL denies climate change.
Trump is the least knowledgeable president in history. He's blocked reasonable investments in solar and EVs, and stopped the very policies we need to become more climate resilient.
Trump's visit to Memphis changed NOTHING about the realities on the ground.
He has no plan for poverty.
No plan for education.
No plan for health care.
Those are the underlying issues driving what people are dealing with every day—but Trump is incapable of addressing them. Memphis deserves more.

If you know conflict with Iran is coming, why would you weaken OUR OWN counterintelligence?
That’s exactly what Kash Patel did. I pressed him on it today: why fire agents tracking Iranian response capabilities before TRUMP LAUNCHED A WAR against Iran?
He couldn’t even give a straight answer.

While I appreciate the intentions @repcohen.bsky.social, I am outraged that no one on the judiciary committee tells these people that they have a responsibility to answer their questions. Patel knows damn well why these ppl were fired. He must be forced to admit it! @democrats-judiciary.house.gov
“The worst of the worst” was always a lie.
The data is clear: undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes. But ICE isn’t following the facts. They're following Stephen Miller’s orders, targeting people who are here working and raising families — so long as they are not white.
The GOP shut down DHS to force billions more for ICE and mass deportations. Now TSA lines are out the door & workers are going without pay while key agencies are stuck in limbo.
I’ve co-sponsored a bill to reopen them WITHOUT funding ICE. I'll sign the discharge petition to force a vote this week.
Billions of taxpayer dollars are already being spent on Trump's war in Iran.
Now reports show Hegseth blew through another $93B—$3.5B on cable TV, $225M for furniture, and millions on steak, lobster, and crab.
Imagine what $93 BILLION could do for our country—housing, education, Medicare for All.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Check out this video, "country joe and the fish vietnam song"
Country Joe died Saturday at 84. His 60's Vietnam song appropriate for today. Bonespurs got out of danger but puts others in harms way
Trump and Republicans are raising health care costs on YOU AND YOUR FAMILY so that they can hand out tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations.
The greed has reached an all-time high. It cannot go on.
We need Medicare for All. That's what I'm fighting for.
Proud to earn a 93% on the @aclu.org's 2025 Legislative Scorecard, which tracked key votes last year to defend civil rights, civil liberties, and free speech while Trump and the GOP are trying to roll them back and silence any opposition.
I will never stop voting to protect your rights.
The American people did not vote for a Middle East war.
But that's where Trump's push for regime change in Iran is headed—towards another FOREVER WAR, without seeking Congressional authorization.
The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war. Tonight I voted to reassert that authority.
