Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

$24 million in Pentagon contracts is going to a company whose Chief Strategy Advisor is the President's son. Eric Trump isn't a defense contractor. He's not a military expert. He's the President's son. Every step this family takes in or around the government ends up with money flowing toward them.

This week a Farm Bill appears in the House with language trying to shield Monsanto (Bayer) from legal liability from Roundup pesticides causing cancer—shielding the company from billions in liability. Same company that Trump’s White House Chief of Staff and former AG lobbied for. We’re a HELL NO!

The DOJ is alarmingly reversing a decades-long requirement on preserving presidential records that is essential for congressional oversight and fundamental to our checks and balances.

At $23 for a bale of hay—our farmers and ranchers are facing a perfect storm! From the cost of diesel, to drought, to tariffs, to cuts to basic food programs—our communities are struggling. That’s why I’m here to take a stand on the Farm Bill for New Mexico this week!

The Trump administration cancelled major energy projects across 16 states just because they voted for Kamala Harris and not Trump. Their own lawyers even admitted they targeted blue states. I called Trump’s Energy Secretary out on it. Our states pay taxes & I won’t stand for this kind of garbage.

New Mexico is making waves! 🎉   So proud to pass our Albuquerque Indian School land transfer and Downwinder bills out of committee unanimously this past week!  This is what getting it done for NM looks like!

Outrageous. Trump plans to deny legal residency in the US based on whether he agrees with your speech.   Since when did it become "anti-American" to criticize the actions of a foreign government? Who is he fighting for? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

ICE Funding FISA Spy authority Farm Bill funding The Epstein Files… Another huge week in Congress. ⬇️

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund DHS 31 days ago. We passed it unanimously AGAIN 25 days ago. But instead of ending the DHS shutdown and funding agencies like TSA & the Secret Service, Speaker Johnson has dragged his feet & failed to put it up for a vote.

The Senate just passed $70B more in funding for ICE. Students in fear are counting on our party to fight back. Not a single new dollar for ICE. Tear down the agency.

The fetishization of stupidity www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Don't shoot people. Don't take away food from the hungry or medical assistance from the weak. Don't bomb girls schools. Don't ask your supporters to rough up your opponents. Don't rape women. And for goodness sake don't claim that ballrooms save lives

One of the largest pesticide manufacturers in the WORLD has spent millions lobbying for passage of a pesticide liability shield & legal immunity from the impacts of glyphosate. It must be defeated.

No one should be intimidated by law enforcement while exercising their right to peacefully protest.

As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Trump wants to boost war spending a whopping half a TRILLION dollars. Here's what that could fund instead:

There is no justification for political violence ever. It’s really that simple. I’m glad everyone who attended Saturday’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner is unharmed. I’m especially grateful to the brave Secret Service agents and U.S. Capitol Police who kept everyone safe.

Elected officials in DC get invited to events all the time that have bigger crowds than the WH can accommodate and would be inappropriate to host on government property. The WHCA is one such event. Johnson knows this. He's just sucking up to Trump.

You know what they say about guilty consciences…

The crisis of Black women's unemployment continues to grow. Fed Chair Powell must do his job and come up with a plan to confront this crisis, because this harm is coming for everyone.

It’s been over 70 days since House Republicans shut down the Department of Homeland Security. Why? Because they refuse to work with Democrats on commonsense reforms to ICE.  House Republicans are playing games with our security.

House Democrats are bringing another War Powers Resolution to the floor this week. Gas prices are too high and families are struggling to make ends meet. Congress must end this reckless war immediately.

I wish we had an energy secretary who specialized in anything other than word salad. Data centers require short term construction jobs. Fine. But they aren't engines of long term job creation. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/04/24/u...

Republicans are bending backwards to help Big Oil avoid accountability by suing to block NY’s Climate Change Superfund Act & trying to override it in Congress. If your company caused the damage, you should pay for it. GOP wants to protect corporate profits. I’m fighting to protect NY taxpayers.

I’ve been an organic farmer for decades. I can tell you this: We DON'T need toxic chemicals like glyphosate to grow food. Rep. Massie and I have an amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill and allow states + communities to warn citizens about the dangers of glyphosate.

Happy to report after my weekly oversight visit at 26 Fed today that detainee numbers are down & there were no courthouse arrests. An encouraging development. Our immigrant neighbors who are simply following the rules & attending their routine check-ins and hearings should not have to live in fear.

It was an honor to be recognized by the Consumer Technology Association as a 2026 Digital Patriots honoree. We must continue working in Congress to encourage innovation while putting safeguards in place to protect the public.

You don’t have to be a gay woman to embrace and embody the spirit of Lesbian Visibility Day. Wherever and whoever you are, take a step toward doing that thing you’ve always wanted to do today.

When Americans went to war in Afghanistan, we didn’t go alone. Many Afghans stood beside our troops, translated for them, fought with them, and put themselves and their families in danger because they believed in what we were doing.

Kentucky, severe weather is moving across the state overnight tonight, making it more dangerous as folks are sleeping. Please have multiple alerts on so you can wake up and seek shelter if needed. 1/2

Donald Trump votes by mail, so do many Members of Congress, and so did a third of the country in the last election.    So why are they trying to take it away from you?    There is no documented crisis of mail-in voting fraud.

Trump’s costly war with Iran is wreaking havoc on the global economy. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...

The Constitution is clear: states run elections, not the White House. While President Trump has tried to unilaterally usurp powers he simply does not legally possess, this coalition has intervened to ensure the administration follows the rule of law. www.wlns.com/news/nessel-...

Sub 2. Just amazing. www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...

In Wisconsin, we help and take care of each other. When a neighbor's in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Red or blue, it doesn’t matter—and it shouldn’t. We darn well ought to be able to expect the same from the President of the United States of America. Shameful.

The American Leadership in AI Act brings together over 20 bipartisan legislative proposals to strengthen US leadership in AI. AI presents a wide range of policy challenges & opportunities, & we should continue working to advance thoughtful solutions. Read more here: lieu.house.gov/media-center...

Families torn apart. Children snatched up and tear gassed. American citizens killed.   ICE needs actual reforms, not a rebrand.

The Trump Administration tariffs and $20 Billion they doled out to Argentina from US taxpayers, was not well received in regions like the one I represent in NW Ohio. Imagine how those dollars could be used instead to help farmers meet the increasing costs they're bearing right now.

257,937 Californians lost food assistance because of Trump's One Big, Ugly Bill. That means thousands of kids, seniors, and veterans can't afford to put food on the table because Republicans. As if that wasn’t bad enough, now they’re doubling down and making it permanent with their Farm Bill.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts are destroying the rural economy. Now, they want to pass a Farm Bill that cuts the programs that help our farmers and ranchers survive the crises they created.

My bipartisan Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act helps ensure fair treatment of the tax law, and justice for survivors who prevail against their abusers. I can’t think of a better time to pass this than Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a twice impeached president, and America’s chief insurrectionist. His name is unfit to honor our nation’s buildings.

World Immunization Week is a reminder that we have the tools to save lives. Last year’s flu season was devastating for children, and 89% of the kids who died were unvaccinated.

Costs are high and hardworking families are struggling to afford the basics.   We have the resources we need to help folks. Clearly, the GOP has other priorities.

Horrific. Antisemitism is a scourge, and an attack on any place of worship is an attack on the fundamental rights of all Americans to live peacefully.

My dear friend Lauren has been a childhood education champion for years. It was a joy to welcome her and some awesome middle schoolers to the Capitol, and answer a few questions about our work in Washington.

MAHA advocates are fed up with this administration paying lip service to their movement while delivering win after win for the chemical industry. Let’s just say EPA Admin. Zeldin did not respond well to being called out on his and his agency’s MAHA hypocrisy.

Corporations are making record profits while Trump turns his back on workers and wines and dines with billionaires.   In Congress, I'll always champion workers' rights to join a union and stand together for better benefits, protections, and dignity in the workplace.

I couldn’t agree more. The lack of sufficient child care options for our military families hurts our readiness because our troops can’t fully focus on their jobs of keeping us safe when they’re worried about their kids.

Teri's story broke my heart. She lost her husband to cancer after spraying RoundUp on their farm for 40+ years. Bayer has paid ~$10 BILLION to settle RoundUp lawsuits—and just set aside another ~$7 billion for future cases. You don't pay that kind of money because there's nothing to worry about.

In 2024, Trump said "we have to do something about the Dreamers." He did. A renewal that took 60 days now takes six months or more. These talented young Dreamers, who have so much to offer America, are losing their jobs, their licenses, and their legal status. This is deportation by delay.

REMINDER: Trump has no plan for ending this war, no plan for lowering gas prices, and few left on staff who can actually help him fix it.

Congratulations to the Oregon Historical Society and the Yasui family for being recognized with a 2026 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award for the exhibit "The Yasui Family: An American Story." 🧵

I'll have the chance to speak with Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday, and I have a lot of questions about how he plans to end this war with Iran.

Team Kentucky's commitment to second chances ensures fewer inmates reoffend and helps stop crimes before they happen, so no victims or families are left hurting.

3 million Americans have lost access to food stamps since Republicans passed the largest SNAP cut in history. Instead of ending hunger, the GOP's proposed Farm Bill abandons vulnerable children & families. We have the means to eradicate hunger. Republicans don’t have the will.

BREAKING: As we kick off National Apprenticeship Week, we're excited to announce for the fifth year in a row that we had record-high enrollment in our Youth Apprenticeship Program. A record 12,141 students enrolled to earn while they learn and build their careers in Wisconsin.

Thank you so much to the Clark County Sheriff’s office for taking me out for a ride along. It’s an honor to get a chance to see what you’re up against firsthand. Read the full story: tinyurl.com/4ncmssvj

Ohio – Election Day is May 5 and Early Voting is underway. Beginning today, Early Voting hours are extended from 7:30 AM – 7:30 PM at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. For more info click here: www.ohiosos.gov/elections/vo...

DACA recipients grew up here. They're our neighbors, our teachers, our nurses, our small business owners, and leaders. Passing the American Dream and Promise Act is long overdue. The bill will guarantee permanent protections for Dreamers and provide them a pathway to citizenship.

Let me get this straight.    Trump spent months promoting his Gold Card visa as a game-changing program to bring money and talent into America. It’s been accepting applications since December.     Oh, and by the way, it requires foreigners to pay $1 million in exchange for U.S. residency.

Trump wants to weaponize taxpayer data to target immigrants. People who work hard and pay their taxes shouldn’t have to fear their personal information being used against them. And this won’t stop there. If he gets away with targeting immigrants today, your information could be next tomorrow.

Our Great Lakes and their tributaries are some of the greatest assets we have as a state. So, I continued my Earth Week statewide tour with a visit to Keystone to learn about the Burke Center for Ecosystem Research’s efforts to restore North Fish Creek near Ashland. #EarthWeek

Ashley and her wife run a small business, raise two kids, and work hard. And they're still being squeezed by rising costs at every turn. Healthcare. Rent. Groceries. Insurance. It never lets up.

Congratulations to Virginia and my friend @abigailspanberger.com on passing Paid Family and Medical Leave for over 3.2 million Virginia workers! As we work here in D.C. to pass more Paid Family Leave for more people, it's inspiring to see another Commonwealth put families first.

Trump promised his “Gold Card” program would bring in over a billion dollars for the U.S. It didn’t even come close. Here’s just how badly it fell short.

I’ve met with food banks across New Mexico countless times. They’re struggling. Shelves are emptying out. And now Republicans want to lock in cuts that kick 4 MILLION more people off SNAP with their Farm Bill this week.

Joseph Edlow, this video is for you 😇

Jesse Crenshaw was a man of many firsts, breaking racial barriers and serving as an inspirational leader for Kentuckians. A veteran, lawyer, state representative, teacher and father, Jesse made a difference in the lives of many, and his legacy will live on for generations. 1/2

📢 #MA7: Join members of my staff & Councilor Miniard Culpepper's staff for community office hours this Wednesday. Come learn from our staff about federal & local resources available to you, and how our offices can support.

As 25M acres of forests are destroyed each year, I led my colleagues in urging the European Union to stand tall against Trump's bullying. Our forests serve as our planet's lungs and home to so many unique plants and animals. The EU Deforestation Regulation is critical to protect forests worldwide.

Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was "obliterated” last summer. But in our Energy & Commerce hearing, Secretary Wright told a different story. 🤔

We need effective, fully funded agencies with qualified staffers to best help the homeless population in King County. We cannot afford to lose track of $8 million in public funds. Disfunction at the top will trickle down to those receiving services, and that is something that Seattle cannot afford.

Great to see Phoenix Coding Academy students Sean Collay and Antoni Gonzalez, who were the 2026 Congressional App Challenge winners representing our district, here in DC. I’m so impressed by their app, NaviCare, and proud of their contributions to the National Congressional App Challenge last week.

Headed back to Washington, where @houserepublicans.bsky.social are pushing: 📈 Trump’s illegal war driving up costs 🛒 More cuts to SNAP 💰 Billions more for ICE & CBP There’s a better path. That’s why I’m pushing to end the forever wars and lower costs for families.

This administration is ridiculous: how are families supposed to eat healthier, fresh foods when Trump is making groceries more expensive?!

Proud father

Community is everything. We’re showing up for our neighbors, sustaining each other daily. A joy and a blessing to be in the trenches with you @aoc.bsky.social building a more just world. The state of our movement is strong and this conversation meant so much to everyone who came through.

In Philly and across the country, our schools are in disrepair— putting the health and safety of students and educators at risk and jeopardizing learning. (1/2)

I met with small business owners in #McMinnville that are struggling to keep their doors open because of Trump’s disastrous tariffs. I’ll keep fighting until we put a stop to these tariffs for good and deliver needed relief to the businesses and consumers who paid the high price.

Choosing between food, gas, and health coverage—that’s Trump’s economy. While the Administration is focused on a war of choice, the American people have to choose which necessities to forgo. This is not normal. You deserve better.

Beautiful morning at dropoff at PS 10 in Park Slope! Great to catch up with parents about what's on top of their mind about Washington and the district. Always great to talk to New Yorkers about what’s on their mind.

Thank you to the advocates and volunteers from the American Coalition for Ukraine for meeting with me. 🧵

Hardworking Americans are desperate for lower prices. You’d think President Trump’s new budget would try to answer their calls. But nope, it will only make the cost-of-living crisis even worse.

Political violence is not the answer. Never. Spoke to Whit Johnson about my experience at the White House Correspondents Dinner. No one should have to duck under tables to avoid a shooter, not at the WHCD, or in our schools.

Diplomacy is the only long-term solution for stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. I sat down with @reporterjoe.bsky.social with @notus.com to discuss what a new deal on Iran's nuclear program could look like. Check out the full story here:

Great to be with Senator Darrin Camilleri and so many engaged people at Kekoa Brew Co. today! It's fitting that “Kekoa” means "The Warrior" — the grit and dedication of folks Downriver to fight for their community is strong 💪

Trump’s attacks on Head Start funding are hurting families already squeezed by high grocery and gas prices. Spoke with RI Head Start about expanding access to high-quality early education so families can get ahead.

Big congrats to @xavier.edu on landing its largest federal grant ever – a huge win for expanding biomedical research opportunities for students. We pushed the Administration for this funding, and we’re excited to watch this expertise keep growing in SW Ohio.

As the semester comes to a close at our schools across Austin, let’s celebrate every student crossing the finish line. An investment in our students is an investment in our workforce & economy. Your hard work & dedication strengthen our community. Best wishes on finals and congrats to all graduates!

Today I joined @budzinski.house.gov and colleagues in the @laborcaucus.house.gov in calling on REI to negotiate with union workers in Orange and nationwide on a fair collective bargaining agreement and to avoid any union-busting.

April is #SocialSecurityMonth, a vital resource that millions of seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities rely on every day to live their lives. I will keep working to protect and expand these hard-earned benefits from Trump and Republicans' attacks on Social Security. That's a promise.

For 10 years, Tempe's own FABRIC has proven Arizona can lead on sustainable, American-made fashion — supporting more than 2,500 local entrepreneurs. I was honored to present founders Sherri Barry and Angela Johnson with a Congressional Commendation on their 10th anniversary.

I'm pleased that @yalestresscenter.bsky.social in CT-03 will receive up to $3.497 million in funding to provide data from their research using a naturally occurring hormone for to treat alcoholism. They will be a part of a research team to help accelerate treatments for mental health & addiction.
