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

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.

The Trump administration, in one image.

Trump sharing that obscene video was totally disgusting. Any regular person could say as much. It's genuinely pathetic to see elected leaders like Speaker Johnson twisting themselves into pretzels to put on a show for the President like this.

If a "clean CR" spikes my constituents’ health insurance premiums, it’s not clean. It’s dirty and puts the interests of the richest Americans ahead of Minnesota and I won’t vote for it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The only people doing well right now seem to be AI executives, crypto bros and the Trump family.

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.

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.

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.

So it's too expensive to extend health care tax credits that millions of families rely on but not too expensive to spend $200 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? These corrupt grifters are robbing taxpayers blind.

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.

Our Marines deserve to be celebrated for their service and sacrifice. But firing artillery over the 5 freeway was totally unnecessary and put public safety at risk. It had no bearing on military readiness and could have created significant danger for drivers. I’m calling for a full investigation.

Because Republicans are on vacation, we haven’t gotten any sort of classified briefings, rationale from the Administration, or intel on if innocent people have been killed by Trump's boat strikes. We need to have oversight done by Congress.

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?

To everyone who showed up all across the country for our democracy this weekend—THANK YOU! We know you’re not buying the lies, lawlessness, and dismantling of our democracy. Keep showing up!

Just a reminder that ICE head Tom Homan was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and the Trump administration covered it up.

Trump and his cronies say they want to take down MS-13, but behind closed doors they're conspiring with Bukele to hide evidence of his government's collusion with MS-13—all so he can imprison individuals disappeared from the US in violation of their due process rights. Shameful.

Mike Johnson is too much of a coward to condemn pooping on people.

We will not yield to Trump’s authoritarian actions. We will not yield to his assault on healthcare. We will not yield.

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.

My advice for Republican leaders: stop taking your marching orders from billionaires like Trump, and start listening to the people back home who are about to see their premiums double–or worse.    They are begging you to take action.

The government’s shut down. Health care premiums are skyrocketing. Americans can’t afford groceries. And Kristi Noem gets two luxury private jets anyway.

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.

The American people are not stupid.

But when we ask to help our own citizens pay for health insurance they shut down the whole government

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...

Bad news: The Big, Ugly Bill is going to strip over $32 million from Virginia’s Federally Qualified Health Centers – an existential threat for their ability to serve hundreds of thousands of Virginians. Republicans won’t stop til they make health care worse and more expensive.

As ICE deports, arrests, and assaults law-abiding New Yorkers, it's clear that DHS will not hold its own officers accountable. When federal officials abuse their authority, they are not immune from local laws. I'm calling on the NYPD to protect our neighbors if ICE breaks the law.

The House calendar has been completely blank the month of October because of Mike Johnson btw

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.

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...

You may be struggling to keep up with the price of groceries and rent, but don’t worry, Secretary Noem can now recline in luxurious handcrafted seats. Who paid? You.

Wishing a bright and joyous Diwali to all those celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world. Diwali serves as a reminder that in these dark times, we must fight for freedom, speak truth to power, and champion justice for all.

🚨WASHINGTON STATE🚨 Window shopping for 2026 Washington Healthplanfinder opens TOMORROW OCT. 21. If you log in tomorrow and see that your plan has doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled—speak out. Republicans need to face the crisis they created and work with us to solve it.

Big Insurance raked in $71.3B in profits last year. If Republicans don’t extend ACA credits, average premiums will raise 114%. The reality is, the system is broken for all Americans. We need to implement permanent protections and finally pass Medicare for All.

While government workers are not being paid and Republicans can’t find the time or money to deal with health care, Trump is destroying the White House to build himself a $250 million ballroom.

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...

Happy #Diwali to everybody celebrating the festival of lights in the #MA7 and around the world. Light will always triumph over darkness. Wishing you and your loved ones love, light, and happiness during this joyous holiday.

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!

But when we ask to help our own citizens pay for health insurance they shut down the whole government

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.

Can we please stop calling them conservatives? What are they trying to conserve? The environment? No. The American way of life? Nope. Let's call them what they actually are: Regressives. They're trying to roll back 100 years of progress. That's their horrendous agenda.

Bribery. Fraud. Insider trading. Corruption. Violent crime. Trump doesn't care. If you're his pal he'll shut down investigations and give you a get-out-of-jail-free card. But if you're his enemy, Trump will get you prosecuted on made-up charges. The definition of corruption.

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.

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

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.

In all seriousness, seeing Trump demolish the East Wing to build a gilded ballroom for his wealthy donors is stomach-churning stuff. The Administration claims no congressional approval or historic-preservation review was needed before demolition began. That should alarm everyone. Quick 🧵 (1/5)

Happy Diwali! Hope you have a wonderful holiday full of light and joy.

The House Republicans refusing to extend tax credits for working Americans to access healthcare are the same politicians who gave tax breaks to everyone else this summer — to billionaires, corporations, and even “whaling boats.” Shameful!

Today marks 31 consecutive days that the House of Representatives has been out of session, as Speaker Johnson continues to cancel votes week after week. That means a month-long vacation for House Republicans. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

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.

This is great. Lydia – we’re all rooting for you!

Just so we’re clear: blatant political propaganda is illegal under the Hatch Act. Glad to see San Diego International Airport doing the right thing and rejecting this.

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.

No one should have to drive hours to get help when there’s an emergency. Thanks to Trump and Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid, rural hospitals across the country will close. People will die. It’s time to cancel the cuts. www.kuow.org/stories/i-do...

It’s been quite the journey for Republicans! They literally can’t comprehend that people are *this* upset and angry. Keep standing up. Keep speaking out. It's working. #NoKings

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.

Our farmers are also fighting for their life and livelihood, but a reckless trade war risks them losing everything. This bailout puts Argentina first, and American farmers last.

The GOP strategy hasn’t changed: Repeal the ACA. Raise health care costs on working families. Hand more tax cuts to billionaires.

Trump and Republicans’ billionaire-first economic policies led to this government shutdown. They chose tax breaks over Americans’ health care and created a health care crisis. Now, instead of fixing their mess, House Republicans are on vacation.

Our girls are limitless. It was so fulfilling to co-host our Girl Scouts at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for a special civic engagement day. They were sworn in as "Senators for a Day," drafted legislation, delivered floor speeches, & encouraged to step into their power.

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.

78% of Americans favor extending ACA credits. Republicans are once again trying to reward the ultra-wealthy at the expense of regular folks. It’s time to pass Medicare for All and solidify Americans’ right to affordable healthcare.

Trump and Republicans want to spend $40 billion on Argentina but they refuse to lower Americans’ costs or save Americans’ health care. So much for “America First.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Gov. Andy Beshear will provide an update on state efforts regarding senior meals and relief to Kentuckians during the ongoing federal shutdown today at 2:15 p.m. ET. Watch live via Facebook.com/GovAndyBeshear or YouTube.com/GovAndyBeshear.

How pathetic. Mike Johnson is now blaming Adelita Grijalva for not doing her job. Quit taking orders from Trump and swear her in now.

North Carolina Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Openly admitting to drawing a congressional map for Donald Trump. It’s not just politics — it’s corruption. North Carolinians deserve free and fair elections, not gerrymandered districts.

WA: Health care open enrollment for 2026 begins on Nov 1, and you can start shopping on the ACA exchange on Oct 21. As Republicans threaten to let ACA tax credits expire, costs will go up for millions. Start looking for a plan that works for you: WAHealthPlanFinder.org

Democrats are fighting for health care. Republicans… can’t quite figure out what they’re fighting for.

The corporatization of health care is killing people. Once again, researchers find that private equity takeovers result in more patient deaths, staff layoffs, and lower wages.

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.

I marched alongside 100,000 New Yorkers and 7 million Americans nationwide to declare loudly, proudly, and with one voice:  NO KINGS IN AMERICA.

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.

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 everyone celebrating in Minnesota and beyond! Wishing everyone a safe holiday filled with light and love.

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

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

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.

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

Cheap energy shifts wealth from producers to consumers. That has led to political backlash - but it also means that if you make energy decisions based on politics you will end up poorer. Stop politicizing market economics and this is so much easier. www.indystar.com/story/news/e...

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!

Attention Californians: Today is the last day to register to vote online prior to the upcoming election. You can also cast a same-day provisional ballot on November 4th. Be sure to register to make your voice heard! Visit registertovote.ca.gov to check if you're registered.

Happy Diwali, Virginia! I wish all celebrating across the Commonwealth a joyous observance of the Festival of Lights – a welcome celebration of the victory of light over darkness!

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

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

Rather than supplying the weapon systems Ukraine needs to win, Trump is back again to calling for Russia to be given the territory it launched the invasion to win, rewarding their aggression. His wild swings on Ukraine alienate our allies and strengthen our enemies.

On Saturday, millions of Patriotic Americans took to the streets with a simple message:  WE LOVE AMERICA.  And we’ll fight with everything we’ve got to protect it.

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

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.

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

I guess his symbolic destruction of the office just wasn’t cutting it.

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.

The question we all need to ask is when are Republicans gonna give up using the federal government to transfer more wealth to multi-billionaires while kicking millions of Americans off their health care?

Republicans’ shutdown has gotten so bad they just furloughed the people who help secure our nation’s nuclear stockpile. This is what happens when the governing party refuses to do its job. They need to come back to work so we can end the shutdown and keep America safe. x.com/meredithllee...

Every day, more Americans receive notices that their health care costs are about to skyrocket because of the crisis Republicans created. Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of fixing this mess. They need to finally negotiate with us and end this chaos.

I stood outside the FEMA office in DC to send a message that the Trump administration is withholding millions of grant funding dollars that Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria earned to prepare for an earthquake and tsunami. This is about saving lives.

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

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