Chag Sameach! Wishing a happy and meaningful Passover to all observing this season of reflection and renewal.

A year ago, DOGE gutted the core of our federal workforce and now the Trump administration is trying to rebuild it with MAGA loyalists. This is a recipe straight out of an authoritarian playbook that will only fuel already rampant corruption and make our country less safe.

I’m glad to see Speaker Johnson and House Republican leadership accept reality and decide to bring the Senate-passed bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS and pay our public servants to the floor. They should bring it up for a vote without delay.

For the first time in over 50 years, NASA is launching astronauts on a journey to the moon. They'll do a lap around the moon to test life support and other systems on the Orion spacecraft to prepare for a future return to the lunar surface. We're wishing NASA a successful launch! Watch live:

If you’re born in the United States, you are an American citizen. That’s a constitutional guarantee in the 14th Amendment and reaffirmed by court precedent, including US v. Wong Kim Ark. Any attempts to strip citizenship from people born on U.S. soil are unconstitutional.

Trump is pulling out all the stops to make it more difficult for eligible Americans to vote because he knows he and his administration are unpopular. He's terrified Americans will turn out in droves to reject him and his allies in Congress.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but Donald Trump and Republicans are advancing efforts to make it harder for eligible Americans to vote in the midterms. I urge my Senate colleagues to vote NO on the SAVE America Act. youtube.com/shorts/fO6qJ...

Conversion therapy is abusive and fraudulent. I’m heartbroken to see the Supreme Court's ruling on Colorado’s state law. I will continue to push for a national ban on conversion therapy so we can protect the health and safety of children all across America.

Sold as a middle-class tax cut, Trump’s “One, Big Beautiful Bill” is delivering a major windfall to corporate America, with some of the richest companies now paying far less to the IRS

NEW: US labor market flows remained sluggish in February data released this morning, as hiring fell to the lowest level since early 2011 The hiring rate fell to 3.1%, layoffs rose to 1.1%, quits fell to 1.9%, and job openings fell to 4.2%

I signed onto @pressley.house.gov's discharge petition to force a vote on redesignating TPS for Haiti because Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's attacks on Haitian immigrants are purely driven by xenophobia and bigotry, not security concerns. I look forward to voting yes.

Today we celebrate the bravery & resilience of the trans community in the face of relentless attacks by anti-equality extremists who seek to erase & control trans voices & stories. Our members will always fight for our trans siblings’ right to exist openly & authentically. #TransDayOfVisibility

If Trump wanted to address the energy crisis he created, he could end the war, abandon his ideological obsession with fossil fuels, and embrace the diversity of American energy sources. Instead, he’s giving his oil and gas friends a free pass to pollute and kill endangered whales in the gulf.

Energy markets have been rocked by the outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf, where roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply originates. Track how prices have jumped and check your state’s current average price: 🔗 on.wsj.com/3NPxqDA

US gas hits $4 per gallon for first time since 2022, with average prices now higher than at any point during Trump's two terms. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4ch54v6

This tells you everything about this Administration's priorities. While preparing to send our troops into harm’s way in a half-baked war, Hegseth was working on getting a piece of the pie. Disgusting. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Donald Trump is refusing to negotiate a deal to end the DHS shutdown, end the chaos at airports across country, and pay our public servants. The American people deserve a president who will do the job of governing, not an erratic ballroom designer. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

After enacting the largest Medicaid cuts in history and allowing health care tax credits to expire so they can pay for tax cuts for the rich, Republicans now want to make further cuts to health care to pay for Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran. Shameful. I'll be voting NO.

Trump promised he would lower costs on Day 1, but the cost of groceries has only gotten more expensive for Americans since he’s been in office. www.cbsnews.com/news/price-t...

As we've said all along, Trump’s aluminum tariffs are a counterproductive failure. These tariffs are only raising costs on manufacturers that rely on aluminum, while domestic production has actually declined. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

No Kings! Not now, not ever. youtube.com/shorts/zSjZD...

In Northern Virginia and across the country, Americans are exercising their constitutional rights to stand for democracy. No Kings!

House Republican leadership chose instead to extend the DHS shutdown. But it's not too late to do the right thing. Speaker Johnson can still bring the Senate-passed bill to the floor, reopen the law-abiding entities of DHS, and ensure that public servants are paid. He should.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

House Republicans could have brought the Senate-passed bill to the floor to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS. The shutdown could have ended today and our TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and FEMA employees would get paid.

If Speaker Johnson wants to fund the entirety of DHS, we need firm commitments that will rein in the lawlessness in ICE and CBP.

After 43 days of using our public servants as pawns, Trump finally agreed to pay our TSA agents – something he could’ve done all along. Overnight, Senate Republicans finally joined Democrats to pass a clean bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS, including TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.

Congress can reopen TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard right now. But House Republicans are refusing because they want more money for ICE. They will always choose chaos, terror, and Donald Trump over the American people.

Beyond despicable. Donald Trump is now “a little bored” with his "little excursion" in Iran, as if war is nothing more than passing amusement to him. War is not a game. It's not a spectacle. It's not something you pick up and drop when it stops entertaining you. 1/

Unlike big corporations, most small businesses can’t bribe the president with gold bars, ornate plaques, or massive donations, and can’t afford to hire MAGA lobbyists. While big companies get exemptions, small businesses are left to absorb the full impact of Trump’s tariffs.

NEW: I've introduced the bipartisan AI Foundation Model Transparency Act with Rep. Mike Lawler and @sarajacobs.house.gov.

Farmers are struggling with fertilizer costs that could drive up grocery prices, USPS is considering surcharges on package deliveries, and airlines are preparing to increase fares. But Trump thinks none of this is that bad. He’s either wildly out of touch or just lying.

Today is Equal Pay Day. As costs skyrocket, women are still underpaid — taking home just 81 cents for every dollar men make. Equal work demands equal pay, and Democrats will keep fighting for an economy and country worthy of our daughters.

The Department of Justice’s reported decision to pay out more than a million of the taxpayer’s dollars to Michael Flynn is as outrageous as it is indefensible.

Americans are already struggling with risings costs, and are now paying even more as a result of the fallout from Trump's illegal, poorly planned war. Trump should end this war and instead start addressing the affordability crisis he created.

The American people are struggling with higher costs, fewer jobs, and complete economic chaos. Trump’s “Golden Age” is just an affordability crisis he keeps making worse.

This is deeply abhorrent, and raises questions about the intelligence used to justify the Administration's boat strikes in the Caribbean. Many of us have warned it is likely innocent people are being killed based on dubious evidence. Those concerns now appear to be justified.

We're paying to shut down renewable energy projects when Trump's war on Iran is showing us how costly it is to be totally reliant on fossil fuels. We should be diversifying our energy to increase energy security and affordability, not paying companies to walk away from them.

This is Trump’s economy designed by billionaires, for billionaires: The rich are getting richer while workers and families struggle to pay for groceries and gas.

This is a huge win for clean energy in the Commonwealth of Virginia! A diverse energy grid helps protects us from oil and gas volatility, and new generation can help bring down energy costs down for families and businesses across the Commonwealth.

The nonsensical removal of the 15th Street bike lanes has been delayed, but is still a threat. I’ll keep fighting to protect this vital DC-area transit corridor. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Just like to note that on National Agriculture Day, steel and aluminum tariffs are harming farmers by raising costs (in addition to rising fertilizer prices from tariffs AND the current war). www.datawrapper.de/_/aO4iG

Oil prices were higher on Tuesday, paring losses after falling sharply in the previous session, as energy market participants assessed developments related to the Iran war. The uptick in prices suggests lingering skepticism over a a possible de-escalation in the Middle East conflict. cnb.cx/47USe3d

President Trump was approached with a deal that would fund the law-abiding parts of DHS, pay TSA workers, and ensure our airports operate as normal. But he said no. He owns the current chaos at American airports.

Why is it so hard for Trump to say no to secret police? Why is it so hard for Trump to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS and ensure TSA workers are paid?

Trump lit the Middle East on fire without consulting Congress. He continues to present us with lies, chaos, shifting objectives and escalation without an end game. The only answer from my colleagues on a supplemental to fund the war in Iran should be: Hell no. youtube.com/shorts/OiOq2...

A straight up lie. Obama’s JCPOA halted Iran's nuclear weapons program, making America and the world safer. We argued then, correctly, that the likeliest alternative to the deal was war.

16 years ago, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law—a landmark achievement that transformed health care in America.   Today, tens of millions of Americans have peace of mind about their health because of the expanded coverage and better benefits of Obamacare.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
