The biggest lie in the Epstein coverup is that Epstein and Maxwell were the only rich and powerful people who abused young girls. Maxwell is now saying others were involved. We need to find out names on Feb 9 during her deposition. All of these names are in the Epstein files.

I traveled to Minnesota to listen to people in their own words after an ICE agent killed Alex Pretti.

I was moved by the vigil for Pretti at the site he was killed. I want to thank Minnesotans for standing up for our Constitutional values. Speaking to a Mom with 3 kids who had drones swarm her home was heart-wrenching.

The bill to ban TikTok was a mistake. I led the effort to repeal it and as the new ranking member of the Select Committee on China, I will make sure free speech is protected.

JD Vance, federal agents under your administration are killing Americans on our streets. This is our Kent State. Own it. Stop blaming others. End it now.

The common thread with this administration is elite impunity. The Epstein class who raped working class girls face no consequences. Fraudsters being granted pardons for political contributions.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

@schumer.senate.gov will you block the additional funding for ICE in the Senate? We need leadership.

ICE officers fired multiple shots and killed an American who was on the ground. It has become a rogue, militarized police in our communities. Democrats can't vote for Laken Riley or tripled ICE budgets and pretend to be an opposition party. Tear it down & build a new agency.

I just voted no on the FY26 $838.7 billion Defense Funding bill that would continue to support billions in arms sales to Israel. We should be providing troops better healthcare and expanding our industrial base, not sending a blank check to Netanyahu.

Today, there's a vote to triple the ICE budget. Here is what is going on and why I am leading the opposition to vote no.

A man was choked so hard that his blood vessels burst in his eyelids and his death was ruled a homicide. This is a rogue agency. It needs to be torn down and replaced with a new federal agency that respects human and constitutional rights and has civil rights oversight.

PG&E should be broken up and owned by customers, not shareholders. They are ripping off Californians by buying off politicians in Sacramento.

At our best, America fights wars of liberation, not conquest. We are not the Roman or British Empire engaged in colonialism. We defeated Nazism and authoritarian communism. Trump is betraying our values.

Big news: Haley Robson, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, filed a letter requesting a federal judge intervene to make DOJ comply with Rep Thomas Massie and my law and release the full files. Thank you for your courage, Haley.

It’s not a coincidence what sets Trump off. He’s losing the MAGA base by choosing to protect the Epstein class instead of exposing corruption and holding them accountable. @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social

We have lost 68,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office. We have lost 161,000 blue collar jobs. We need new economic leadership that doesn't concentrate wealth & power in the hands of the few. An economy that works for all Americans. We need a new economic patriotism.

The Iranian regime's mass shooting of unarmed protestors is horrifying & a gross violation of human rights. They are striking teenagers & ordinary families. They also have shut down communication platforms. The world needs to speak out against this barbarity and call for it to stop.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

The only reason Jerome Powell isn't lowering interest rates is because of Trump's irrational tariff policy. What Trump is doing threatens the very economic fabric and prosperity of this country.

For Rep. Thomas Massie and me, this isn’t about going after Trump or DOJ officials. This is about fighting to see justice for the survivors, whom we have come to know personally and whom our nation abandoned for decades. youtu.be/H-U-E9SW-5Q

Those who are afraid to speak out forcefully against the invasion of Venezuela, looking instead to polls and focus groups, are failing the moral test. We must be the anti-war party.

I stand with Jerome Powell and an independent Fed. Threatening criminal action against a Fed Chair because he refuses to do the President's bidding on interest rates undermines the rule of law which is the very foundation for American prosperity.

The California City ICE detention center has human rights violations. I spoke to 47 detainees. One man with blood in his urine had not been able to see a doctor, another complained of rocks in the food, another of not having a long sleeve shirt, shivering at night.

Judge Engelmayer has shown great integrity & diligence by requiring the Epstein files to be released in accordance with the Epstein Transparency Act. Rep Thomas Massie & I wrote to him to request that he appoint a special master to ensure we get the files without excessive redactions.

Trump, how about signing one more of my bills in addition to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. I first introduced my Stop Wall Street Landlords Act three years ago and will reintroduce it again this week. I hope my Republican colleagues will cosponsor.

This ICE agent should be arrested and put on trial. What is seen in this video is a reckless use of power. And now a 37 year old woman is dead.

It is an honor to serve as the new Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on China. Americans have been shafted as the trade deficit with China has widened causing jobs to leave.

As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions to prevent Trump from invading: Cuba Colombia Greenland Nigeria Panama Iran It is time for Congress to wake up & do our job.

The invasion of Venezuela is a moral test for our nation. Most Americans are not for gunboat diplomacy. We do not believe in using the awesome power of our military to plunder weaker and poorer nations.

Trump's actions flouted the Constitution. They will waste American resources. They violate international law and isolate us from allies like France and Germany.

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

Trump was elected to make Americans lives better. Now he is intent on running Venezuela for some time. I want a 21st century Marshall Plan for America, not Venezuela.

Good jobs at home, no dumb wars, and accountability. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donald Trump betrayed his MAGA base today launching a war of choice to bring regime change in Venezuela. We keep voting against dumb wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Libya. But our Presidents bow to a foreign policy blob committed to militarism.

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

One common concern I have heard from constituents all week who have flooded my inbox is about fraud, waste, and abuse in Sacramento. I hear you.

An advocate for survivors sent this to me with utter disgust. I have never heard of Ankush Khardori. He had the gall to say tonight that ⁦Rep.Thomas Massie & I, 427 Congress members, and 100 Senators are wasting America's time because there is no cover-up.

Julie Brown has been tirelessly seeking the truth to expose the Epstein Class. DOJ must answer for this.

The Royal family should personally compensate Epstein's victims. Who agrees? inews.co.uk/news/world/r...

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."

What a novel idea to put country before party. Rep. Thomas Massie & I want a new beginning this Christmas that protects young girls and holds these disgusting men accountable. Merry Christmas!

This is impacting my district on Christmas Eve. PG&E is focused on investor profits over California residents. They have paid off Sacramento politicians. It's time to make it a customer owned utility.

This is possible because of the brave survivors. Rep. Thomas Massie & I have built a coalition of the right & left to fight for justice. It has proven to be the kryptonite that marks the beginning of the end of the Trump era. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
