Just a reminder, for those of you who thought Republicans might’ve grown a spine: Yesterday, after posturing & hand wringing, they had the chance to put an end to Trump's illegal military operations in Venezuela. They voted no. Their cowardice only further emboldens Trump.
The military junta in Myanmar has bombed villages, killed thousands of its own people & displaced millions. Secretary Rubio & the Admin need to condemn these horrors & call out these staged “elections” for what they are: a farce meant to legitimize the junta’s cruelty & power.
We do not have kings or dictators in America. These monuments belong to the people. Our bill would prevent Trump, or any other president, from using our public monuments to glorify & worship themselves.
President Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism. Part of that is creating the myth of the “Great Leader” by naming public buildings after himself—something dictators have done. Today I introduced a bill with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to stop it.
The Iranian govt's attacks on protestors are unacceptable, & as I've said before, we must support the Iranian people's fight for a better future. But bombs do not create democracies and they are not the answer. Is Trump's plan to just bomb every dictatorship in the world?
Free speech and the right to peacefully protest are universal rights. The Iranian government’s crackdown on these protestors is unacceptable — they must allow Iranians to use their voices without fear of violence.  www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/w...
Arlit Maria Martinez’s only request was to visit her son, Kevin, who was dying of cancer. ICE refused and he died later that day. This Administration has no decency nor sense of humanity. We are in contact with Arlit's family and ICE must allow her to attend her son’s service.
This investigation is a sham — and yet another example of Trump's dangerous weaponization of our justice system. He pardons his friends, convicted drug kingpins, & Jan 6th rioters who attacked police, but goes after Chair Powell for refusing to act as a rubber stamp.
Noem is once again trying to obstruct oversight at ICE facilities. This comes just days after we found out DHS LIED about a shooting in Maryland & we all saw the horrible killing of Renee Good. We cannot just hope for better. No more money for DHS without accountability.
Let's get this straight: the Trump Admin is talking about giving up to $100,000 a PERSON to Greenlanders, but he's refusing to help millions of Americans afford their health insurance??   This is a waste of taxpayer dollars & a slap in the face to working Americans.
There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war. Hope this helps 👍!
First, they lied about what we saw on video when ICE killed Renee Good. Now, they're politicizing the investigation by freezing out Minnesota authorities, so the full truth may never see the light of day. They are breaking our country. We must continue demanding accountability.
Steny has been a tireless fighter for our nation and our state. Listening to his remarks on the floor of the House this morning was a reminder of how much we will miss his voice in Congress after he retires. [2/2]
@hoyer.house.gov has been an outstanding national leader, a leader in the Democratic Party and a key member of Team Maryland. From his work to secure our national priorities, like passing the ACA, to his efforts to deliver for Maryland and his district, [1/2]
The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.” They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity. I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.
