🚨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.

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.

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.

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.

Every time they start losing the debate, Republicans cry “socialism” to distract from how they’ve failed to address the affordability crisis. Why are groceries so expensive? Socialism! Why are healthcare costs so high? Socialism! Why did Trump start another war? Socialism!

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.

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.

I just tried to force a vote on one of Trump's tariffs on the House Floor. But Republicans have now rigged the rules to protect themselves from an up or down vote. I'm about to expose just how chicken they are, and how far they're willing to go to avoid a vote. Tune in.
