More casualties on the killing fields of a nation with the highest gun violence rate in the developed world. We send sympathy and solidarity to the wounded, the victims’ families, and the FSU community in the midst of this devastation.
President Trump's attempt to fire two independent FTC commissioners is an attack on the agency's essential work fighting consumer fraud, online scams and business monopoly. More than 200 Congressional Democrats are saying 'hell no.' The President has no right to destroy the FTC.
It’s no coincidence that the tech broligarchs who kissed Trump’s ring are first in line for tariff exemptions on their Chinese-made products. Americans will pay more while billionaires catch another break.
Lisa Ann Walter might play a teacher on Abbott Elementary, but in real life, she's also a fierce crusader for public education. Thank you, @lisaannwalter.bsky.social, for stopping by to help spread the word about protecting the Department of Education so that our children can succeed.
What do you know, President Trump is lockstep with a foreign dictator on detaining, shackling and deporting Trump’s deportee without any Due Process. Trump must follow the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of their illegal prisoner.
As someone who knows how to read, I can tell you with certainty the Supreme Court did not say that.   The White House admitted it was an "administrative error" to deport Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court called on the government to facilitate his return.
Trump: The supreme court, it was 9-0? Miller: In our favor, against the district court ruling, saying no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy
Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due Process.
Sending my solidarity, prayers and support to @governor.pa.gov and his family, who endured a horrific arson attack on the first night of Passover. We must oppose and root out political violence in our country to protect democracy and freedom.
Sending my best to everyone celebrating Passover in Maryland's beautiful Eighth District and around the world. May your year be full of liberation from all the pharaohs. Peace and love. Chag Sameach!
Letting Reps with newborns vote remotely is pro-family, Speaker Johnson. Thank you, @pettersen.house.gov, for leading this movement, not just for you and your generation, but for Sam and his.
As a nurse manager for MoCo’s Babies Born Healthy Program, Angeline Bell is working every day to reduce the infant mortality rate. This National Public Health Week, we recognize this MD-08 Local Hero for her continuing contributions to our community.
If Trump gets away with destroying Due Process for Kilmar Garcia, he’ll think he can sweep anyone off the street and ship them to a prison in an authoritarian state to escape our Constitution. We must heed the Supreme Court and get him back.
The pro-democracy movement successfully defended the Social Security Administration against Elon Musk’s chainsaw and Donald Trump's plutocratic games. We will always stand in the breach for America’s seniors and people with disabilities.
Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.
Proud of my MD-08 Congressional App Challenge winners, Ayden Yeung of Wheaton High School and Julian Givens of Montgomery Blair High School, who shared their work at the House of Code event on the Hill today.
It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.
President Trump and Elon Musk’s mass firings threaten the Food and Drug Administration’s critical mission to protect our health and safety. We’re demanding a meeting with the Commissioner to get urgent answers.
