I’ve gone to every State of the Union since I was elected to Congress—including during Trump’s first term. I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than listen to his manifesto of mistruths.

It hasn’t even been a week, and Trump’s regime change war in Iran has already cost taxpayers over $6.5 billion. That’s more than twice as much as what we spent on housing homeless veterans in 2025. Outrageous.

I read “The Life of Rosa Parks” into the record to make a point about book bans—and Rep. Chip Roy Press Office vehemently denied many times that it’s been banned. I triple checked & then searched the records at every Duval County Public School Library. It’s banned. Which means he's lying.

Republicans are forcing a debate on the House Floor at 1:30AM. Why? They’re in charge—why do they want to debate a “big ugly bill” in the middle of the night? You know why. This bill is bad for you. But Trump told them: Close their eyes and vote for it.

The Rules Chairwoman said it herself: "Any member who has any regrets about his or her vote on the first [reconciliation] bill has the opportunity to vote no on the rule tomorrow." I agree.

Trump has already spent more in 9 days on his war with Iran than the USDA spends in an entire year on giving breakfasts to kids in school. So much for America First.

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

Trump spent more in 19 days in Iran–including on bombing elementary schools & killing civilians–than America spends in 6 months on international diplomacy at the State Departmnt. War should be a last resort—not a first impulse.

The Trump Republican budget was written by the rich, for the rich, to help the rich get richer. That is what his budget is. A massive transfer of wealth from those at the bottom to those at the top. It’s like robin hood in reverse.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th. You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor. Beyond shameful.

Thanks to my friend Richard Gere, who’s championing my bill that would elevate the Central Tibetan Administration & give them the power to negotiate with China. The Tibetan people have the right to choose who governs them. It’s time we exercise our power to uphold that right.

Ask yourself—what’s going to stop the government from deporting you to a prison in El Salvador? How would you prove it’s an error if you don’t have due process? If it can happen to anyone, it can happen to you. The people get it. Either everyone has due process—or nobody does.

Correcting the record on the latest GOP attempt to slander Vice President JD Vance Kamala Harris by falsely claiming she was “border czar.” They really don’t like it when you come to the floor with receipts.

Trump said he wouldn't spend taxpayer $ on his tacky ballroom. I brought the receipts from Office of Management and Budget: ✅ $340.8M on June 12 ✅ ANOTHER $10.75 Million on June 12 ✅ $45M on June 15 I asked top GOP appropriators if they knew. Watch their pathetic attempt to feign ignorance.

Speaker Mike Johnson said proxy voting was "unconstitutional" (after he did it himself—39 times.) Last week, GOP Rep. Byron Donalds voted remotely—while in LA. Let's just call that what it is. It's voter fraud. Maybe he thought nobody would notice. I noticed.

Republicans suddenly want to “negotiate” on a Farm Bill—AFTER they screwed over millions of regular people by gutting food assistance? Hell no! Democrats aren’t going to be a cheap date this time. We should not dignify this phony BS until they REVERSE the massive cuts to food assistance they jammed through in their big ugly bill.

Guess what Republicans are trying to sneak through Congress today, hoping nobody will notice? Tariffs! They snuck in a clause letting them escape from ever having to debate or vote on Trump’s tariffs that will hurt farmers across America. We caught them and called them out.

VFW, our nation’s top veteran advocacy group, called out MAGA for trying to cut veterans benefits for disabled veterans. The response from House Republicans has been one of the most disgraceful and cowardly things I’ve ever seen.

This administration is collapsing under the weight of its ties to a global child rape ring—Trump’s name alone appears 5,361 times in the Epstein documents we’ve seen so far. Why won’t he cooperate?

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

If you think it’s OK to have a trillionaire in the same America where parents skip meals so kids don’t have to and folks have to choose between healthcare or rent—then we do not share the same values. An economic system with such obscene greed has lost its moral compass.

In under 2 weeks, Trump has blown $19 BILLION on his reckless Iran War. That’s 2x what we spend each year on preventing infectious diseases in the U.S. He’s enriching his billionaire Big Oil and Defense Contractor donors instead of keeping America healthy. So much for MAHA.

Donald Trump’s first year back in office has been a complete and total failure. Because of his broken promises and betrayal of the very people he swore he would help, our country is weaker, poorer, sicker, and more divided than ever. A reckoning is coming soon.
