As I told Congressman Chip Roy: The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added far fewer jobs last year than in 2024. He may be impressed by that, but I’m not a cheap date when it comes to making sure people have jobs in this country.
The economy couldn’t be better for the wealthy & well-connected—and Epstein-class billionaire donors are making more than ever.
But most of us are struggling to pay for groceries, rent, and healthcare. Thanks to this rigged economy, we’re getting screwed.
In a huge blow to Trump, six House Republicans sided with every Democrat to end his illegal and costly tariffs on Canadian goods. We must keep up the pressure. His grip on power is slipping.
Shocking that the billionaire Epstein-class is so out of touch that they don’t know how hard it is to pay for basic necessities.
When your government is run by the well-off & well-connected, they don't just fail to understand your struggles—they dismiss them.
Trump is not invincible. When enough of us raise our voices and say ENOUGH, we win.
The SAVE act is anti-American & anti-democracy. I’m furious that it passed the House.
It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Voter fraud is rarer than rare—and when it does occur, it’s often MAGA trying to illegally tip the scale.
Trump owns this. If he hadn’t pardoned this pedophile, children wouldn’t have been abused.
These criminals are dangerous. They’re not just a threat to our democracy—they’re a threat to the safety of our communities.
Republicans’ so-called “SAVE America” Act isn’t about protecting our elections.
If Republicans want to go after voter fraud, they could start in the Oval Office with the election-denier-in-chief who continues to lie about winning when he lost—underming faith in our democracy & elections.
This is the Republican party in a nutshell—they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.
Today, a group of Buddhist monks finished walking 2,300 miles for peace–from Texas to DC–bringing people together in support of love & compassion.
While I was on the floor debating, my wife Lisa joined @pelosi.house.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to thank the monks for their inspiring journey.
Donald Trump knew. He knew Epstein was sexually abusing children—and he still called Epstein a “terrific guy” and “a lot of fun.”
This is sick.
The most divisive, vindictive, vengeful president in history.
Why would he bring his wife and kids to a convicted pedofile’s rape island for lunch?!
This is fucking gross. Howard Lutnick needs to resign.
The Armenian Genocide is a fact.
I helped lead a bipartisan coalition calling for U.S. recognition, which President Biden finally did in 2021. By deleting this post, Vance & Trump are showing that they care more about their authoritarian buddies than the truth.
Disgusting and pathetic.
The effective life sentence imposed on 78-year-old Jimmy Lai is a travesty. He’s a principled champion of freedom of the press—and for that, Hong Kong authorities keep him behind bars. Jimmy should be freed on humanitarian grounds and U.S. officials should continue to press for his release.
This monster ought to spend the rest of her life rotting behind bars—and anyone shielding her from facing justice should be right by her side.
I just sent VP Vance a letter asking that he advocate for the release of prisoners of conscience during his visit to Azerbaijan. These include Gubad Ibadoghlu, Tofig Yagublu, and Farid Mehralizada, who were unjustly detained for exercising their right to free speech. All deserve to be free.
