ICE detained a U.S. citizen in Northern Virginia with guns drawn. He offered to show ID and told the officers he was an American citizen, but they handcuffed him anyway. The man is a Trump voter, but says he is reconsidering his support after he was targeted for being Hispanic:

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Pete Hegseth should resign or be fired immediately, and Republicans should have the backbone to say so.

Every single one of my Republican Ways and Means colleagues just voted to oppose much-needed transparency into why and how Musk has sought treasury payment information and American’s sensitive data. If no laws have been broken, there should be nothing to hide.

Trump’s arch is illegal and immoral, and the Administration is also under court order requiring 48 hours’ notice before work proceeds. Yet, Trump wants to push ahead without even the most basic understanding of the consequences of this project. We won’t let him.

The January 6 pardons are among the worst things Trump has ever done. He put violent, dangerous felons into our communities. They are emboldened by Trump's “get-out-of-jail-free” cards. Who knows what other crimes they will commit? Unfortunately, we’re all about to find out.

Yesterday, I visited East Potomac Park and saw the golfers, cyclists, runners, and families who enjoy this treasured space. I also saw the Trump Administration tearing apart East Potomac while refusing to tell the public what it is doing, what it has done, or what it plans to do next.

Trump's tariffs crushed our economy, raised prices, and alienated our allies. Republicans passed rules preventing the House from voting to stop him. We defeated that 'gag rule' last night, and now we're voting on ending Trump's tariffs on Canada. Here's why I'm voting YES:

This evening President Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt and disregard. Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed, often illegally. What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending.

One of the opening acts of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran. Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power. Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war. A contemptible failure of moral leadership.

RFK Jr. is dedicated to actively undermining proven cures and treatments, and now that he’s leading America’s public health system – he’s putting the lives of American children at risk. RFK Jr. and his team of quacks need to be fired or removed immediately.

Republicans' so-called "SAVE America Act" would require every American citizen show a 1) Passport or 2) Government ID AND a birth certificate to vote. Millions of Americans don't have a passport or ready access to their birth certificate. This is a voter suppression bill. Plain and simple. I will be voting NO.

Trump is drunk on power and pushing our country toward more endless wars, and Republicans refuse to rein in his foolish militarism, erratic expansionism and self-dealing. I will keep fighting for accountability, peace, and the rule of law alongside my Democratic colleagues.

When Donald Trump and Elon Musk dismantled USAID last year, thousands of civil servants were recklessly fired. This was devastating for them, and the millions of people they assisted globally. USAID is American leadership at its best, and our world is worse off without them.

Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, the resting place for our heroes. Desecrating this hallowed space to build a monument to Trump’s ego is wrong, it would waste taxpayer money, and break the law. I'm introducing a bill with Dina Titus and others to stop this:
