Tearing down the White House like he’s tearing down our nation. But brick by brick, we’re gong to build it back and the demolishers are going to be evicted. #nokings #wethepeople

Members of the California National Guard are great public servants. Illegally deploying them to San Francisco as pawns in Trump’s power trip does them a disservice. This has nothing to do with crime or public safety & everything to do with Trump’s need for control & revenge.

Good turnout at West Bridgewater Special Town Meeting tonight!

Premium notices are going out now, and open enrollment is about to begin across the country. Thanks to Republicans’ unwillingness to even negotiate, costs are skyrocketing. We cannot afford to kick this health care crisis down the road.

Our democracy is at risk in this shutdown fight, and I'd say that's pretty darn important too.

Republicans control the majority in Congress right now. No matter your political party, the idea that DOJ is outright lying or misleading federal judges should be a five-alarm fire for my colleagues. When will they act?

Trump is more focused on tearing apart the White House to install a Mar-a-Lago style ballroom than reopening the government or making sure you can afford health care. Never forget he cares more about himself than you.

📍BAPS Diwali Celebration in Hudson County 🫶🪔 Honored to have joined BAPS in celebrating Diwali tonight. In these challenging times, celebrations like Diwali remind us of the enduring power of unity and resilience - light over darkness. Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous new year!

Day 20 with no end in sight to Republicans' federal government shutdown. Folks, it's simple—Republicans need to end the shutdown, extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that will keep healthcare more affordable, and get the federal government back to work.

Wishing all celebrating a Diwali filled with light, laughter, and happiness.

Federal workers aren’t getting paid, but of course Kristi Noem gets two private jets costing taxpayers $172 million. Nothing new from the people who are also sending $40 billion to Argentina while refusing to fund our own government. Shameful.

Today, I joined CO Insurance Commissioner Conway & Connect for Health to sound the alarm on the insurance hikes hitting Coloradans this month. Wanting affordable care shouldn't be a partisan issue. It's time Republicans reopen the government & help us tackle this crisis with the urgency it demands.

NEWS: Throughout the 10th Circuit, including in NM, corner crossing remains legal across parcels of public land that touch corner to corner, making thousands of acres of your public land legally accessible — just make sure you step public to public land, and never damage any private property.

Donald Trump is reportedly considering commuting Diddy’s prison sentence this week. Just as we all predicted when George Santos was freed. It’s all about the Benjamins.

Shutting the government down over policy differences is like bringing a jackhammer to a job that needs a chisel. My thoughts on the shutdown in The @columbian.com: www.columbian.com/news/2025/oc...

Americans across the political spectrum want Republicans to solve their health care crisis. Spoke with Brooke Shafer on News Nation about how House Republicans must come to the table & negotiate a deal to lower costs, reopen the government, & save our constituents’ health care.

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda. This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

It’s been 31 days since Republicans showed up to work. Speaker Johnson, call us back into session—now.

Paul Ingrassia has a confirmation hearing in the Senate this week. Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody must vote against his confirmation and demand Trump withdraw his nomination immediately. The antisemitism, racism, and hate this man peddles has no place in our government.

Donald Trump and JD Vance were so threatened by the No Kings protests on Saturday that they put American lives at risk just to stage a vanity missile show. Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for doing the right thing by closing part of I-5 and keeping people safe.

Happy Diwali to all celebrating in Louisville and across the world! I hope you have a a wonderful, blessed celebration spent with loved ones.

Happy Diwali! 🪔 May the Festival of Lights bring brighter days, new beginnings, and good fortune in the year to come.

In NW Ohio and across America, air traffic controllers safeguard every flight with skill and dedication. They deserve respect and a paycheck. Their service keeps our skies safe, even as Republican gridlock puts them in hardship.   Today on #DayOfTheController, we say THANK YOU!

Friends, we’re back in the heart of NM-01 and spending time this week with all of YOU across our communities. From Town Halls, to volunteering, to thanking our federal workers, to everything in between, come out and say hi! We want to hear from you!

Happy #Diwali to everyone celebrating the #FestivalOfLights across #VenturaCounty, the Conejo Valley, and around the world.

My team was able to attend Phoenix’s celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights. Here’s to brighter days, stronger communities, and good fortune in the year ahead!

Trump is more focused on tearing apart one of the White House to install a Mar-a-Lago style ballroom than reopening the government or making sure you can afford health care. Never forget he cares more about himself than you.

We are 20 days into the Republican Shutdown — health care costs are skyrocketing and federal workers aren’t getting paid. What is Trump doing? Building his gold plated ballroom. apnews.com/article/trum...

HAPPENING NOW: I'm hosting a webinar with Democracy Forward to discuss the ongoing legal challenges against the Trump Administration. Join here: t.co/WUrjCzB1FK

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! May the Festival of Lights bring hope and joy to you and your loved ones.

What I saw this weekend was a beautiful cross-section of America united for democracy & freedom & against authoritarianism. The extremists running the country — the ones trying to force their religion on everyone else — will say anything to stoke the flames of hatred & division.

Wishing a very Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! May this Festival of Lights bring joy, peace, and prosperity to your homes and communities. #NY05

Happy Birthday @whitehouse.senate.gov! From working for Team Whitehouse in 2006 to serving the people of Rhode Island in Washington today, it’s a pleasure to work by your side to create a brighter future for our Ocean State. 🎂

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating! May the Festival of Lights bring you and your loved ones joy and prosperity.

Sergio Mejia's deportation is a brazen violation of his right to due process. Despite having his immigration case pending, he was stolen from his three children and unlawfully deported. The Trump Admin. must return him NOW and stop trampling on our constitutional rights.

Sorry, folks. There were some technical difficulties with the original livestream link. Please join us for our EMERGENCY COMMUNITY MEETING now! #townhall

Inspired by the millions of people who give a damn about our democracy & made it plain: There are no kings in America. Together, we'll build a world that puts people over profit, diversity over nationalism, peace over war, hope over fear, love over hate, & freedom over fascism.

More sombreros = more movie posters. Hope you like this one, Donny. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

My statement on an appeals court allowing for Trump’s deployment of the Oregon National Guard:

Trump's Big, Ugly Law is an assault on the food and health programs Americans rely on.   Now, House Republicans are keeping the government shut down risking Rhode Islanders' November SNAP benefits.   Thankful RI Community Food Bank is filling the gap, I am fighting to reverse the cuts.

This is what's at stake. This is why I'm in Washington fighting to extend these credits.

Demolition at the White House to build a fancy ballroom as a monument for and to Billionaires is a stark contrast as millions of Americans are soon to lose their health insurance.

Republicans have created a health care crisis. Medicaid is cut, Medicare is under attack, and health care premiums are set to double. Democrats are fighting for affordable health care for the American people. We won’t back down! youtube.com/shorts/KX8qI...

Wishing everyone in Minnesota and across the world a happy Diwali! May this festival of lights be full of joy and hope.

Thank you, University of Arizona and President Garimella, for rejecting this attempted shakedown. Arizona universities exist to serve students, not political agendas. #BearDown

In June we warned Ingrassia was unfit to lead the Office of Special Counsel, the agency responsible for protecting whistleblowers and investigating discrimination…

Happy Diwali, Wisconsin! May we continue to see the light in ourselves, in one another, and in our communities. #FestivalofLights

Proud to stand with Angelenos against Trump’s authoritarianism at No Kings in DTLA this weekend. No Kings. No fascism. No bullsh*t.

Coloradans are receiving letters that their health care premiums are going to double or triple, and yet Republicans continue to push their partisan budget bill that ignores this looming crisis. I voted NO for the 11th time to stop them. It’s time to negotiate.

"The truth is, these are not very bright people, and things got out of control."

Trump’s ICE has detained more than 170 U.S. citizens this year — something they have no authority to do. This is absolutely unacceptable. thehill.com/homenews/556...

It’s Day 20 of the Republican shutdown – and Donald Trump is doing nothing to put an end to it.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to cities, over the objections of state and local leaders, is an abuse of power. It’s not about public safety - it’s about stoking fear and suppressing dissent. It’s a blow to the Constitution. It’s authoritarianism.

Wishing you and your loved ones a bright and joyful Diwali! May your days be filled with light, laughter, and prosperity.

Maria Greeley is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE and told her passport “isn’t real” and that she “doesn’t look like” her last name. What do they think an American should look like? This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

My God. Every day it seems another member of the Republican party in good standing feels compelled to spout racist, Nazi-loving misogynistic drivel. We could choose to believe that these are all isolated incidents. Or... www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I just voted NO on the Republican funding bill. Just like the last ten (10!!) times we voted on this exact same bill, it includes absolutely NOTHING to save health care tax credits that millions of Americans rely on.

Today, we celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Happy Diwali, Oregon! 🪔

Today is day 20 of America held hostage by this Republican shutdown. At a time when we should be investing in our students, Donald Trump is cutting staff at the Department of Education. Our students, teachers, and education staff deserve better than this.

We are just 10 days away from the Congressional App Challenge deadline! Submit your app today! 📱

Honored to support Rhode Islanders walking to end Alzheimer’s. Each step brings us closer to a cure.  I’m working in Congress to reverse cuts to vital research and ensure every RIer can access & afford health care.

The deadline for the Congressional App Challenge is quickly approaching, so be sure to submit your app, website, robot, or other design by October 30th.

Today's 2-1 decision is disappointing, but it is only one step in the legal process. The fact remains that Oregon does not need or want federal troops.

If you or a family member are interested in attending a service academy, my office is hosting a virtual event with @repdelbene.bsky.social on Saturday to answer your questions.

If you or a family member are interested in attending a service academy, my office is hosting a virtual event with Congresswoman Suzan DelBene on Saturday to answer your questions.

We were told those who attended this weekend’s activities would be scary, violent terrorists who hate America but that's not what I saw. I saw patriots who love their country, and love exercising their constitutional rights to express themselves.

While federal employees wonder how they’ll make rent, House Republicans showed up to work just 20 days in four months and still get paid on time.

Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket for millions of families in Massachusetts & across the country. And where are House Republicans? On day 31 of their vacation. It’s time for Republicans to get back to work, re-open the govt, & address the healthcare crisis they created.

This is word salad. Under Thune and Johnson's leadership the GOP has passed precisely zero of the 12 appropriations bills by the 9/30 end of the fiscal year. Describing a "normal" appropriations process as completing that by 11/21 is goalpost moving nonsense.

China’s latest supply-chain retaliation proves what we already know: Donald Trump’s tariff chaos is not a solution. My Unearth America’s Future Act will help us secure rare earth minerals, strengthen our manufacturing, and protect our national security.

Saving health care helps save lives. The time to act is now.

Diwali reminds us that light always overcomes darkness, and good always prevails.  Wishing everyone a Festival of Lights filled with love, family, and community. 🙏🏼💙

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in #OR06. Wishing you and your families a joyous and bright festival!

Yes! Speaker Johnson — it’s time to bring Republicans back to work, reopen the government, and pass this bipartisan ban on congressional stock trading. New Mexicans deserve leaders that work for them, not to enrich themselves. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Wishing everybody in Colorado and across the country celebrating Diwali a joyous Festival of Lights.

The Office of Special Counsel investigates discrimination claims. This is the person Trump nominated to lead the agency. Disgraceful. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I held a roundtable with experts, advocates, furloughed workers and others impacted by the government shutdown and the Republican health care crisis. House Republicans must end their vacation and negotiate with Democrats to fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

Reminder: while millions of federal employees scramble to make ends meet while they go without pay during this Republican shutdown… … House Republicans are on a month-long paid vacation.

With these horrific and blatantly antisemitic text messages coming to light, Paul Ingrassia’s nomination must be withdrawn.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in Philadelphia and beyond! Wishing you a wonderful and joyous festival spent with friends, family, and loved ones.

Wishing a happy Diwali to all those observing in LA and across the world! May the Festival of Lights bring love and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

The American people are not stupid.

Seeing the White House torn apart is really emblematic of the times we’re in

I joined 116 of my House colleagues in urging the Trump Administration to rescind their decision to lay off federal employees dedicated to the education and support of students with disabilities and their families.

While Republicans refuse to reopen government, pay federal workers, or address the impending health care crisis, here are a few of the things they are doing:

Joined veterans and Ypsilanti Township Supervisor Brenda Stumbo for the daily placing of 22 crosses each day in October.

Congrats to Kyrene Traditional Academy's Dr. Marianne Lescher from Chandler for being named this year's National Distinguished Principal in Arizona. Your work is making a difference for our kids. Thank you for all you do. www.naesp.org/spotlight/ma...

Even on the picket line, there are moments of joy, laughter, and hope.  But behind every smile is a story of nurses fighting for fair pay, safe staffing, and the dignity every caregiver and patient deserves.

Millions of Americans are losing their health care because of the GOP. Instead of keeping veterans, seniors, and children insured, Trump is now building himself a $200 million gold-plated ballroom. Out of touch is an understatement.

I had the pleasure of meeting with the Ambassador of the Philippines Jose Manuel G. Romualdez in my office today. I am proud to represent a vibrant Filipino American community in California’s 32nd District and will continue to work to strengthen the US-Philippines relationship here in Congress.

Patriotism means standing up for American values, like democracy and respect for the rule of law.

If Congressional Republicans continue to avoid negotiating with us and this shutdown continues, the real-world impact on Americans’ health insurance cannot be understated. Around FOUR MILLION Americans will be priced out of their health insurance if the ACA tax credits aren’t extended.

Wishing everyone celebrating today a Diwali filled with laughter, love, and light!

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! This day is a reminder that light triumphs over darkness and that freedom and righteousness will always prevail. I wish you a Festival of Lights filled with joy and justice!

Remember what he did to the Rose Garden?

It’s now been a month since we learned Trump’s team shut down an investigation into Tom Homan taking a $50K bribe — and we haven't seen an ounce of transparency or accountability. Where did Tom stash the cash? What is he hiding? Americans deserve to know.

Today, I met with seniors in Alton to hear how they’re being impacted by President Trump’s policies and the government shutdown. From delays at the Social Security Administration to protecting programs like Meal on Wheels, we need to make sure our seniors can still access the services they rely on.

While critical federal services are being cut and millions of Americans are about to see a shutdown of their health care, Trump is “uninterested” in “deploying” his “dealmaking background.” Whatever happened to ‘I alone can fix it’ and ‘The Art of the Deal’? #GOPShutdown
