🚨NEW: Trump is trying to kill a housing program that protects seniors, lowers energy bills & saves lives.
This used to be bipartisan, so why is he doing it? Because it helps people who aren’t rich—and it has "Green" in its name.
My op-ed in @fastcompany.com with @michaeljohnshank.bsky.social ⬇️
As the first American pope—and one from Chicago, my mother’s hometown—I'm pleased to welcome Pope Leo XIV.
Cardinal Stritch was also from Chicago, and he helped bring St. Jude to Memphis. I hope Pope Leo builds on Francis' legacy of compassion and that he visits St. Jude & Memphis—where it endures.
Republicans want to gut Medicaid and slash food aid by $1 TRILLION, hurting kids, seniors, the disabled, and working families.
They say that’s not true? Great—then they should vote for the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act.
I signed the petition to force that vote. Let's see who's telling the truth.

Republicans just paved the way for the largest cut to America's social safety net in history—billions stolen from SNAP & Medicaid, from children, the disabled, and seniors. All to make the rich even richer.
It's theft in broad daylight. I voted NO. Full remarks from the House floor last night ⬇️

Retrofitting housing couldn’t be more American. It’s good for businesses contracted to do the upgrades, and it’s good for all living healthier lives, saving money on their utility bills, and staying safe in the next storm.

Trump's trade war is crushing small retailers, restaurants, breweries & more—and all the jobs they provide.
The GOP's billionaire donors might have the resources to adapt to knee-jerk tariff policy, but small businesses on Main Street don't. They deserve real support, that's what we're demanding ⬇️

Listen closely. He cheated. Elon rigged the voting machines. We all knew it, but never thought he’d admit.
Proud to lead this resolution with @whitehouse.senate.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social. The attack on the free press is happening right now. Every Member of Congress needs to show where they stand and support this effort to defend the First Amendment.
Trump’s attacks on NPR, PBS & independent journalists are threats, meant to punish truth-tellers and scare anyone who might oppose him.
I introduced a resolution to condemn his war on the free press. The 1st Amendment includes press freedom—and we’ll fight any effort that threatens it.

The cost of living is too high, and Trump and Republicans want to make it worse by taxing everyday essentials and cutting the services Americans rely on.
House Democrats will keep fighting to protect working families.
@ross.house.gov explains more on today's Democratic Daily Download.

Trump doesn't understand his job—which is to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution.
He wants a $90M birthday party with tanks & jets to feed his ego. But he’s not Genghis Khan or Napoleon, he's the President—and he owes a duty to us, the people, and the Constitution.

Full statement here: cohen.house.gov/media-center...
Three months after the deadliest crash in decades, an Army helicopter forced 2 planes to abort landings at DCA—again.
67 lives is enough. We’ve heard reports of comms breakdowns between agencies but Pete Hegseth & DOD won’t answer questions. His incompetency is becoming a daily threat to Americans.
Open Alcatraz for prison? No, not after all these years the expense of it .use Alcatraz as Mar-a-Lago West. Now that I could consider.

Trump wants a birthday parade with tanks, jets & 6,600 troops—and he wants YOU to pay for it.
This is real waste, fraud and abuse. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to stop it. He says your kids should have less at Christmas—while he gets a taxpayer-funded parade. This isn't a monarchy.
