For 6 decades, we've had a comprehensive trade embargo against Cuba. And for 6 decades, that embargo has failed in its strategic objectives.
It's time to pivot. My new bill would turn the page on the failed status quo—harnessing diplomacy & engagement to promote democracy & freedom.
Republicans own this shutdown. They would rather defund critical agencies that keep us safe like the TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA, than rein in Trump’s rogue secret police as it’s literally killing American citizens.
Trump can gaslight about a “golden economy” that doesn’t exist, but the American People know the truth: thanks to his stupid tariffs & his Big Ugly Bill, basic necessities have never been more expensive.
Honored to join my friends at the Met Council for a Ramadan food pantry distribution in Harlem this afternoon. They specialize in providing nutritious kosher & halal foods to those in need. Thank you for all you do to keep folks in your community healthy & fed!
Had a great meal at Refettorio Harlem! Just spectacular! With partners like Food For Soul, chefs, they prepare delicious, restaurant-quality meals from donated ingredients two night a week, making sure those in need have access to nutritious food.
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.
