ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Miscarriage is not a crime. Abortion is a basic medical procedure. Legalize abortion rights in ALL 50 states.

Housing is a human right! Yesterday we announced $7.6 million dollars in funding for affordable housing and projects to support families, seniors and young people experiencing homelessness This is what it looks like to invest in our communities and transform lives! 🏠🌳💕

Leaving aside the accounting incompetence on display here, on Congress has the power to impose those tariffs, as SCOTUS affirmed. So Bessent not only wants to steal your money, he also wants to ignore the Constitution.

Our Defense Secretary is grossly incompetent. He’s a corrupt TV personality with zero experience to run the Pentagon. There are 100 places Pete Hegseth should be rather than campaigning in Iowa.

Donald Trump is using his office to pocket billions. What happened to putting America first?

Pete Hegseth is stripping women’s roles in the military and stalling women servicemembers’ promotions. He is completely detached from reality. I helped introduce legislation to make it clear: servicemembers should be evaluated on merit-based standards, not their gender.

Trump’s cronies are cutting deals left and right for themselves & their families, but when it comes to negotiating an end to this disastrous war, they’re clueless. Once again this corrupt Administration is lining their own pockets while Americans face the costs at home.

This is not how our country should be.

Once again, Trump is cozying up to dictators – rolling over for Kim Jong Un and getting nothing in return. He’s undermining our credibility throughout the world and making us all less safe.

Trump and Republicans want to take every federal grant hostage and use your tax dollars to reward Trump’s friends. Democrats fought back and blocked this plan for now, and you can bet I will keep working to stop this corrupt heist.

The Community Agriculture Alliance is doing incredible work in the Yampa Valley, supporting local producers, ranchers and farmers, and getting fresh food from across Western Colorado onto family tables. Grateful to stop by during our marathon traversing Routt County & check out their store!

Trump & Republicans are attacking urban farmers and ripping food away from our families. That's why I convened urban farmers & environmental experts in Everett for a timely discussion about the work they do and how we can fight back.

Todd Blanche said the Justice Department will not be independent of the White House. This isn’t complicated. The president should have no say in criminal investigations. This has been the consensus since Watergate.

House Democrats are fighting for affordable healthcare for ALL Americans, not just the lucky few.

Seventy-five times, federal judges have ruled that Trump violated the First Amendment. This moment in our country’s history is not about one host or one reporter. It's about whether we live in a country where the president gets to decide who says what.

Last year, many of us warned that Trump’s reckless budget bill would increase the deficit by trillions — including increasing debt-service costs by $687 billion over the next decade. Those warnings were ignored. And the national debt has now hit $40 trillion.

Happy back-to-school everyone! It is back-to-school days here at UNM and we’re here with Marisa, the president of the Graduate and Professional Student Association to say welcome back and encourage everyone to come out today! 🐺❤️🐾

A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%. It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. Medicare for All saves money and lives.

Millions of Americans lost their health care last year because of Trump’s cuts. That’s going to skyrocket further when his Medicaid cuts go into place next year. His policies are leaving millions sicker and poorer.

Reuters analysis found the National Guard that Trump deployed to DC were cited in just 1.3% of criminal prosecutions, and were largely absent from high crime areas. Trump wants to spend $1.4 Billion (!!) taxpayer dollars on this, a crazy waste of money. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The Trump-Republican agenda benefits the billionaire class while the working class struggles to meet their basic needs. Trump and Republicans only fight for the wealthy elite.

Last night, I joined 300+ union members, community leaders, and workers in Nevada to lay out a vision for putting workers over AI. This is the first major town hall in the Latino community about the impact of AI. Our party must have an agenda that stands up for human dignity.

Trump’s former personal lawyer, now Attorney General, is still… acting as his personal lawyer? What a surprise. Blanche should never have been confirmed.

Farmers and ranchers need options. They need choices. They need more than just whatever the four big corporations that control meat processing in this country offer. That’s why the new Farmers Union Processing and Meats facility in Staples matters.

This is the MOST corrupt administration in American history. While hardworking families struggle to afford gas and groceries, the Trump family is raking in BILLIONS.  House Democrats will hold them accountable.

Retail data "showed the biggest drop in more than a year, as American households face the economic strains brought on by persistent inflation." NYT: Unexpected Drop in U.S. Retail Sales as Shoppers Feel the Squeeze www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/b...

I've heard directly from my constituents, confirming these horrific conditions aboard San Diego’s USS Lincoln. The Trump Administration needs to stop gaslighting our service members, their families, and Congress about the severity of this situation.

Donald Trump is trying to criminalize any person or organization he doesn’t agree with by labeling them as terrorists. This is an abuse of power & straight out of the fascist, authoritarian playbook. We're demanding answers & an end to Trump's attacks on political dissenters.

This is just another baseless attempt by the vindictive occupant of the White House to weaponize the DOJ to attack our immigrant neighbors. The Trump Administration must stop targeting Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This hearing was weeks ago now. And what have we seen since?   Agents putting guns in innocent people’s faces and now apparently, gloves that can electrocute you with no accountability.   Enough!

I was proud to shake the hand of and thank Avory Woolery, a brave young Kentuckian who saved a man from drowning this summer. His courage and willingness to help a neighbor made a difference, and his actions serve as an inspiration to us all.

Donald Trump is waging war on America’s public lands, and we will not let it stand. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/c...

I met with Pope Leo last week to discuss his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and its call to put human dignity over AI. I then wrote to AI CEOs asking what they're doing to ensure human beings are making decisions & prevent mass unemployment. 📸: Vatican Media

Two questions the Trump administration needs to answer. First. Why is a senior official making a “cultural visit” to Russia, the same country reported to be helping Iran in ways that put American troops in the Middle East at risk? giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

With tariffs and an endless war, Republicans have made life more expensive. Democrats are fighting for an affordable America. That’s the difference.

ICYMI: @baldwin.senate.gov and I secured over $140 million through President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to continue our work to bolster passenger rail in Wisconsin and ensure reliable, uninterrupted service. Great news! 🚈 Learn more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

After adding over $100 Billion to the national debt to fund the War of choice In Iran without any Congressional approval, the US debt now exceeds $40 Trillion. While the GOP is focused on endless wars and tax breaks for Billionaires, life for the rest of us gets less and less affordable.

Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a 25-bed hospital in Crosby with clinics across north-central Minnesota. Patients can access primary and specialty care without having to trek to a big city, and it’s a perfect example of the kind of facility that Minnesotans rely on to stay healthy.

Trump will burn billions of dollars for an illegal and doomed war. Yet, he won’t lift a finger to tackle the healthcare affordability crisis he started‼️

Trump’s new pick for FDA commissioner is an anti-abortion extremist who celebrated the overturn of Roe v. Wade and pushed disinformation about the safety of medication abortion. The American people deserve an FDA commissioner who puts their health and safety first, not another far-right sycophant.

For 120 years, our state fair has brought generations of Kentuckians together to celebrate farm families and all the things that make Kentucky so special. With the 2026 Kentucky State Fair officially open, it's time we continue those traditions and make more fun memories together.

Trump ran on lowering the national debt, but it just hit an all-time high of $40 trillion. You can’t campaign on fiscal responsibility and then ignore the bill. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/b...

Trump told you he would lower your energy prices on day one. He did the opposite, and now he says he won’t apologize for it. Gas hit a record. The national average is about $4.06 a gallon, roughly double the $1.85 he promised and $0.92 higher than a year ago.

BREAKING: We're requesting the Legislature release $10 million in settlement funds to help provide safe, clean drinking water to families and communities impacted by contamination by Tyco Fire Products and to continue our work to fight PFAS contamination. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

Since Trump took office, Republicans have given DHS over $240 BILLION – including $113.5 billion for ICE – and this is how it's being spent. Electric shock gloves. This is torture. No more money for ICE or Border Patrol. Instead, we need to dismantle and overhaul them.

I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good-paying jobs. Folks are fed up with the GOP's 'Families Lose, Billionaires Win' agenda. Let's work to build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

⏪ Earlier this year, I cornered RFK Jr. into admitting that the measles vaccine is safe and effective for our children.

These are the stories they don’t tell the new generation. When we do the right thing they try to silence us. Keeping history alive and getting into good trouble is how we move the needle. Be loud, speak up, and be the voice for those who don’t have one.

President Trump used the full power of the federal government to punish Coloradans and secure Tina Peters' release.

Quarter Horse racing returns to Eastern Kentucky with the opening of Sandy Ridge Racing's $75 million facility. This project is bringing 250 full-time jobs to Ashland, drawing new visitors from out of state and growing our record-breaking tourism economy. The future is bright for Eastern Kentucky.

Some of the wealthiest people in America pay a lower tax rate than teachers and nurses. As the rich get richer, working-class Americans pay the price. A dollar earned should be a dollar taxed, regardless of who earns it.

Happening now: Congressman Moulton is conducting an unannounced visit to the ICE field office in Burlington, MA. Follow here for more updates to come.

Trump’s endless war is draining taxpayer dollars, our weapons stockpile, and the ability to keep Americans safe. The results so far? Higher prices on just about everything, lives lost, and an even more hardline Iranian regime intact with unprecedented control of the Straits of Hormuz.

The Trump Administration expects UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN to secure legal counsel in a matter of weeks. That is the new reality in Trump's America where no one is safe not even the most vulnerable and innocent among us.

Our Haitian neighbors deserve dignity and respect…not this dangerous deportation effort from the Trump Administration. Hear our full conversation about why Congress must extend TPS for Haiti 👇🏻

ICE is about to spend up to $20 million of your tax dollars on electric shock gloves to intimidate the public. President Trump needs to get his priorities straight. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-sh...

Congressman Moulton was allowed to tour after an unexplained 30+ minute delay by ICE. During that time, multiple vans were observed leaving the property, before Congressman Moulton was allowed to begin his oversight tour.

[1/2] After shooting a man in Minnesota, an ICE agent came to Texas. The Texas Rangers arrested and jailed him. Yet Greg Abbott continues to shirk his constitutional duty to approve extradition to Minnesota, where the alleged felony occurred.  youtu.be/HlPiDF5UQQo

Families need relief from the high cost of groceries, housing, child care, and everything in between.   My American Family Act would restore the expanded Child Tax Credit, putting money directly in the pockets of working families every month.   We know it works—let’s do it again.

Had a great discussion at the recent Normal Heights Community Planning Group meeting about the urgent need to end Trump's Iran War, how the 21st Century Road to Housing Act will lower housing costs in San Diego, and what Democrats will do when we take back the House.

Last summer Republicans in Congress cut Medicaid to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. A year later, we are all feeling the pain it's causing in Kentucky. During today's roundtable, we heard directly from Louisvillians about the impact of these cuts — I'm bringing these voices back to DC.

Trump's war: terrible for Americans, great for pirates. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

🧵 Time for another greenhouse rant! Our national debt just surpassed $40 TRILLION. We’re now spending more to pay down the interest on our debt than on all non-defense programs COMBINED. As they do with everything, Republicans are trying to blame Biden for this mess. Bullshit! (1/5)

71% of Foreign Agricultural Service employees say they'll leave rather than relocate to Kansas City. 80% of Food and Nutrition Administration employees say the same. When that institutional knowledge walks out the door, farmers pay the price.

The Hammond Public Library used a $4 million Flexible Facilities grant that's going to help serve the community for years to come with new multi-purpose space, telehealth rooms, study spaces, a new computer lab, and more space for kids, teens, and adults, alike.

Thanks to the Center for Children and Youth Justice for inviting me to their Seattle office. We spoke about the need for alternatives to incarceration for youth, as well as their work to reform Washington's child welfare and juvenile justice system to better support children, youth, and families.

Our local leaders are essential to Team Kentucky's success. Over the past six years, we've put our people over politics, delivering results that have helped our hardworking families. At the Governor's Local Issues Conference, we committed to building on that progress together.

[1/2] "King of Debt” — that’s how Donald Trump once described himself. As our national debt exceeds $40 trillion, it’s a crown he has certainly earned. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/b...

Wages may be rising, but thanks to Donald Trump’s war of choice and chaotic tariff-taxes, American workers just can't keep up.

Hardworking taxpayers shouldn’t have to wait years for the IRS to process their refunds. Rep. Moulton is proud to cosponsor the RETURN Act, which requires the IRS to process refund claims within one year, explain its decisions, and pay interest on delayed payments.

Republicans cut your healthcare by $1 trillion & gave ICE a blank check to terrorize our neighbors. The results: 3 Americans killed, 50+ dead in ICE custody & countless families torn apart. Now Trump is arming ICE thugs with electric shock gloves. This cruelty must end.

We’re in an affordability crisis. The average Hoosier is paying $3,300 more a year for basic expenses under this administration.

Did you know Rep. Moulton’s office can help you with Social Security and SSI benefits? If your benefit application is delayed, payments are missing, or you need assistance contacting the SSA, reach out to our office at 978-531-1669 or visit moulton.house.gov.

While Americans struggle with skyrocketing prices from Trump's war in Iran, Trump rakes in billions, most recently by selling early access to his own Truth Social posts. This is crony capitalism at its worst, and it threatens both our economy and national security. (1/2)

Gas is at a record high for this time of year. Diesel is even worse at $5.40 a gallon nationally. That's the fuel that powers Illinois farm equipment, construction vehicles, and the trucks that move goods across our state.

Trump is is siding with a brutal anti-American dictator against our own ally because they won’t join in his INSANE war with Iran. Yes that’s the real reason.

From gas to groceries to health care, prices are up across the board. And what is Donald Trump doing? Not ending his war of choice. Not lowering costs for you. He’s showing off his latest vanity projects. And most Republicans in Congress just keep enabling him.

Family caregivers show up for their loved ones every day. We need to show up for them, too. I introduced legislation to launch the first-ever 24/7 hotline dedicated to caregivers of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Last year, sepsis almost killed me. I'm still here because of the incredible medical professionals who dedicate their lives to saving others.   New Jersey needs more of these heroes, which is why it was great being down at Rowan University to cut the ribbon on its… (1/2)

We can’t always predict when or where the next crisis will strike, but we can prepare before it does. ✅ Taking the time to organize a plan now can make a big difference. ➡️ Check out Oregon’s Wildfire Response and Recovery page to stay safe, informed, and connected.

As kids prepare to head back to school, parents are getting squeezed with high prices for school supplies & other essentials. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, the price of back-to-school staples is up 8% this year.

Thank you to every Mainer who joined us for our shadow hearing on the killing of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. And thank you to everyone who filled out a comment card. Your comments will be entered into the record. Your voices are essential in our fight for truth, justice, and accountability.

Corporations are getting billion-dollar tariff refund checks. Meanwhile, everyday NYers are paying an average of $4,500 MORE on everyday expenses due to Trump's affordability crisis.

Trump reaches out to North Korea (Kim Jong Un)who is helping Russia,not us ,while shunning long time ally,So.Korea.He is using Sup. Ct.appeal to outrun Article 1 powers to build his BILLION $ ballroom.Then there's tariffs, Arch, JRK Center,the DEBT,EPSTEIN crimes/coverup,tax deal and slush $. FUBAR

This week I marked four years of the Inflation Reduction Act. Now 26,000 Arizonans have a bit more breathing room because Congress let Medicare negotiate lower drug prices.

Each of these moves makes it clear their next play will be a nationwide restriction on the most common method of abortion care, regardless of what protections your state has in place. They’ll claim they can do it unilaterally because they know they don’t have the votes in Congress to sign off on it.

The Valley has lost a dedicated public servant. Michael Pacowta remained deeply involved in the community long after his tenure as Mayor of Shelton with local Chambers of Commerce & the Valley United Way. My thoughts are with his loved ones as they grieve this tremendous loss.

Thanks to Trump’s tariff-taxes and illegal war, this back-to-school season, classroom supplies and everyday essentials are more expensive. While the House GOP keeps rubber-stamping these failed policies, House Democrats are fighting to put families first and lower costs.

We’re making waves! 🏞️ I paddled the Tualatin River with the Riverkeepers, learning about the river’s health and the work to protect it. This river is a major resource connecting communities in #OR06, and keeping it strong keeps us strong 🛶

Tomorrow in Dallas: Join me for a reception supporting my friend @ginafortexas.bsky.social, our Democratic nominee for Governor! I’m honored to be a host. Texas has waited a long time for a governor who actually shows up for our people. RSVP: secure.actblue.com/donate/tx-gh...

On Monday, I toured Volunteers of America Western Washington's new pallet shelter village which will expand temporary affordable housing options for women and children in Everett.

Today, my team is hitting the road for our monthly traveling office hours! We will be available to share more information and give you assistance with federal agencies.

As antisemitic attacks and acts of hate rock our communities, I’m leading the charge to fund the Nonprofit Security Grant program so everyone can gather, worship, and learn in safety. Proud to deliver over $1.7 million to protect Rhode Island’s nonprofits and places of worship.

Our broken immigration system is being exploited, and immigration-related scams have grown significantly worse under the Trump Administration. That’s why I am moving forward legislation with Rep. Foster to make it a crime to offer fraudulent immigration legal services. Our work continues.

Elderserve has been part of our community for 60 years. As the only adult day center that provides free meals to anyone who walks through their doors — and the only one in the West End — hundreds of people count on them. We will do everything we can to ensure Elderserve is here for all of us.

Touring AtriCure to see firsthand how their work is revolutionizing healthcare for folks across the country. 🙏🏻💙
