It's incomprehensible that a social media influencer and conspiracy-theorist is advising the President on national security decisions. This Administration continues to value blind loyalty over competency. www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/p...

White House fires three NSC staffers after president meets with far-right activist Laura Loomer | CNN Politics

The White House has fired at least three National Security Council staffers, three sources familiar with the move told CNN.

1 in 4 companies has already slashed 2025 hiring plans because of Trump’s tariffs. The risk of a global recession has risen to 40%. And if Trump’s tariffs are fully implemented, they could push inflation up to 4% – nearly as high as during the pandemic. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Not only are Trump's tariffs a tax, he's taking action that undercuts American manufacturing and US small businesses. Trump keeps putting billionaires like Elon Musk first over everyday Americans. www.wired.com/story/nist-t...

Trump and DOGE Defund Program That Boosted American Manufacturing for Decades

President Donald Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 2(source)

"Liberation Day" is Trump declaring independence from affordable goods and economic stability. Because Trump's tariffs are a tax. Americans are already stretched thin and now Trump is hiking costs for working families to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Shadow President Elon Musk.

You've got to be kidding. The Trump Administration is finding new ways to undermine our national security with each passing day. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

Had to give a crash course in Phone Hacking 101 today because our national security advisors seem to have no idea that messages can be hacked even when using encrypted apps like Signal. ‼️

Half of all cars sold in the United States each year are imported and roughly 60% of car parts are imported before final assembly in the US. Trump's tariffs are going to raise car prices across the board and hurt all American consumers. www.caranddriver.com/news/a643080...

How 25% Tariffs on All Imported Cars Will Affect Every Model

We compiled a list to show where every car sold in the United States is built to demonstrate the wide-reaching impact of President Trump's 25 percent tariff on imported cars.

Both Secretary Hegseth and Nat Sec Advisor Waltz need to answer to our committee. The longer they refuse to take accountability and resign, the more embarrassing it becomes.

Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov outlined 3 concerns @democrats-armedservices.house.gov have w/Trump and his NatSec advisors failing to recognize the serious implications caused by their discussion of attack plans ahead of military action on the unsecured Signal app. youtube.com/shorts/EPPoT...

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 1(source)

The week of Washington Republican incompetence continues. Waltz is actively undermining our national security. He and Secretary Hegseth need to answer to me, my HASC colleagues, and the American people. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say

Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 1(source)

The Washington Republican brand is incompetence. Instead of joining with Democrats on a common-sense measure for new parents in the House, Speaker Johnson would rather just throw a temper tantrum instead of actually doing his job. www.politico.com/live-updates...

GOP proxy-voting supporters kill Johnson's power move

The vote keeps alive Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's effort to help new parents in the House.

Does this Administration really think that Americans will want to pay hiked prices for clothes, electronics, and appliances? This is so dumb, I wish it was an April Fool's joke. But President Trump is intent on wrecking our economy with his tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

Trump’s Tariff Agenda Bets on Americans Giving Up Cheap Goods

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues that the American dream is about more than cheap televisions, but inflation-weary consumers might disagree.

Trans rights are human rights. I stand with the transgender community, especially our transgender servicemembers, and their right to live as who they are. #TransDayofVisibility

The Trump admin's decision to let unaccompanied minors fend for themselves in immigration courts is inhumane. That's why I'm calling on Secretaries Kennedy and Burgum to immediately reinstate legal services for over 26,000 children, including the 4,700 in California. www.latimes.com/california/s...

As children are pulled into immigration court, many must fend for themselves

Unaccompanied minors face a new reality under the Trump administration as they lose avenues to legal representation and fears grow about expediting removals.

This is a blatant attempt to discriminate against women servicemembers. Sec. Hegseth should focus on OpSec and standards on the use of Signal to discuss a military operation. x.com/SecDef/statu...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on X: "For far too long, we have allowed standards to slip. We’ve had different standards for men/women serving in combat arms MOS’s and jobs…. That’s not acceptable, and it changes right now! https://t.co/Zn9OyBew6G" / X

Had a blast enjoying the West Covina Spring Festival yesterday. Thank you to the city staff for putting on another spectacular event, and shout out to the Hollencrest Middle School band for a wonderful performance.

In Congress, I promise to always put the needs of our service members and veterans first in Washington DC.

This morning, I was honored to join the VFW Post 12034's open house. As a Navy Veteran and son of a Vietnam veteran, I was thankful to celebrate Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. May their courage, honor, and sacrifice to our country always be remembered.

Secretary Hegseth crusaded against DEI so he could replace it with nepotism. www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202...

Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon

Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume includes founding his own podcast production company and working on social media and podcasts.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 28(source)

The signal chat put servicemembers' lives at risk and has jeopardized future intelligence gathering efforts. The fact that Sec. Hegseth can't wrap his head around that shows how unfit he is to lead the DoD. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots

Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.
