Reminder that Tom Homan was reportedly caught accepting $50,000 in cash in a paper bag at a Cava restaurant. Kash Patel’s FBI dropped the case. Trump went quiet. The rest of us are still waiting for answers.

The Supreme Court doesn’t belong to any president or political party. It belongs to the people, and its job is to interpret and uphold the Constitution, not serve as a pawn in partisan games. That’s why I’m cosponsoring legislation to establish 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, with regular appointments every two years. This reform reinforces the Court’s purpose and strengthens the judicial independence our democracy depends on.

Federal law prohibits armed federal agents from being deployed at polling places and bans any conduct meant to intimidate voters. Courts have enforced these rules for decades. What Bannon describes is textbook voter intimidation. It violates election law, civil rights law, and basic democratic norms. There is no legal gray area here.

Voters were loud and clear in the recent election that they want Democrats to stand and fight for democracy, for their healthcare, for a future where they can make ends meet. I’ll never stop fighting for the constituents who sent me to Congress, and I’ll keep using every tool I have to make life better for working American families while exposing corruption and calling out lies.

Families are already stretched thin. Now Republicans have driven health care costs higher while Trump hosts Gatsby parties with wealthy donors. I am fighting to lower costs and protect affordable care so people can get treatment without going broke.

Trump ignored the War Powers Act: no authorization, no legal argument, no classified briefing. That’s illegal. And Mike Johnson? He calls the law unconstitutional to cover for Trump. The Speaker’s job is to defend Congress — not grovel to a man who defies it.

Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process. The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It’s the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.

Trump’s sons just signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

DHS spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses for ICE detention. They paid 11 to 13 percent above market across the board. In Salt Lake City, $145 million for a building appraised at $97 million. Many cannot even flush a toilet. The IG is now investigating allegations that Corey Lewandowski tried to extract personal payments from contractors. This is what real corruption looks like.

2 BILLION gallons of water wasted in a political stunt. Trump knew it wouldn’t help LA wildfires, but he did it anyway, against our farmers. This was sheer incompetence, and I won’t stop pushing for accountability. Thanks for discussing, MeidasTouch.

ICE let us walk through the doors of the Otay Mesa Detention Center on Monday. Then they handed us a memo telling us we were not allowed to talk to anyone held inside. The memo, signed that same day by the Acting ICE Director, says members of Congress must now identify detainees by name and obtain signed consent two days in advance before speaking with a single one of them. Federal law gives us clear authority to inspect these facilities at will. We already had to sue in federal court just to get in the door. Now there is a new barrier, invented this week, to make sure we never hear from the people actually being detained. If everyone inside is being treated lawfully and with humanity, what exactly is the administration trying to hide?

Can you imagine if Obama had hosted a cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House. On his own birthday. With 1,000 tickets handed to himself. While Republican lobbyists begged for the leftovers. Fox would have run a 24-hour countdown clock to impeachment. Trump is doing it June 14. And the people who called Obama undignified for putting his feet on the desk have nothing to say.

President Biden has been an outstanding leader, not only of our nation, but the entire world. I have deep respect for his decades of public service and incredible appreciation for the work we’ve done together. But I believe the time has come for President Biden to pass the torch.

10,000 veterans recently lost their homes. 90,000 more are next. Trump says he can’t afford to save them. But he has no problem spending money for a White House ballroom. You don’t get to salute the flag while throwing veterans into the street to pay for your chandeliers.

Listen to Trump’s own words regarding who is responsible for a government shutdown: “Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top.” “The president is the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got to lead.” “I really think the pressure is on the president.” He is now refusing to meet with us, refusing to negotiate, refusing to solve anything at all. He is demonstrating the exact opposite of leadership. This is on him.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It’s not close. No other president has used the office to enrich himself, his family, and his allies on this scale.

Trump just picked a fossil fuel evangelist to be Energy Secretary who said, “There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition.” This is madness.

Gladys and Nelson Gonzalez lived in our community for 35 years. They paid taxes, raised a family, followed every rule—and were deported anyway. They did everything right and were failed by a broken system, made worse by the current administration’s cruelty. This is indefensible.

Today, I’m remembering the courage of John McCain when he voted to protect the ACA and keep millions of Americans from losing insurance. Protecting and strengthening healthcare for the American people should be something both parties can agree on, and I won’t stop fighting for it.

Elon Musk is a special government employee—and he likely broke the law by using his role to promote Tesla at the White House. Ethics laws ban officials from endorsing private companies. Musk and Trump don’t get a free pass. We need an immediate investigation.

I am supporting a bill to end lifetime active service on the Supreme Court, set 18-year terms, and create regular, fair appointments. We need to lower partisan warfare, restore trust, and modernize the Court.

Colorado losing hundreds of Space Command jobs because of how they vote is pure retaliation and an abuse of power. No state should be targeted for participating in democracy. I’ll keep fighting for every Americans’ right to vote without fear of vengeance.
