Yesterday, President Trump's DOJ tried and failed to indict me for restating the law. Today, as we celebrate the win for free speech, I'm putting this distraction behind us and getting back to the real work at hand. www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

My full statement⬇️

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

I will not be intimidated for a single second by the Trump Administration or DOJ lawyers who tried and failed to indict me today. American citizens on a grand jury refused to go along with this attempt to charge me with a crime for stating the law in a way Trump and his enablers didn’t like. 1/2

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.

The Employment Cost Index shows continued deceleration in compensation growth in Q4. All metrics of wage growth are slowing even as inflation has gotten stuck confirming that labor demand < greatly reduced labor supply

According to annual jobs data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released by Trump Administration today, the U.S. economy barely added any jobs last year. In the first year of Trump's second term saw about the same total job growth as an average month from previous years.

The US continues losing blue-collar jobs—year-on-year job losses have hit 170k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace while growth in construction remains low

To put things in perspective, this is the weakest annual increase in US payrolls since 2003

At the urging of my office, the FAA is rightfully lifting the Temporary Restricted Airspace. I will again reiterate there is no threat to El Paso or the surrounding areas.

This was a very important vote tonight. Here's why. For the past year Trump’s illegal tariffs have crushed our economic growth, hit American families with higher costs, killed the very manufacturing jobs we were told they would multiply, and alienated our closest allies. 1/

Republican rule vote FAILS. Republican leaders just tried to use a procedural vote to continue their surrender of congressional powers to prevent Trump's abuse of tariff authorities. Three Republicans, Reps. Massie, Bacon, and Kiley, joined all Democrats to block them.

Lutnick had said, "I decided [in 2005] I will never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn't going." He just admitted visiting Epstein's island in 2012:

President Trump's tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. abcnews.com/Business/tru...

Today, I led a letter with @beyer.house.gov and @repilhan.bsky.social - signed by 58 House Democrats - demanding answers & accountability on Trump's expanded, racist travel ban.

“I won’t spend money on transportation infrastructure to make Americans’ lives better unless you name buildings after me” is a level of narcissism and corruption rarely seen, and it makes Trump sound like a big baby. www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

This is yet another hostile attack in the Trump Administration’s relentless war against our civil service. They want to make it easier to fire qualified public servants so they can replace them with MAGA sycophants who serve Donald Trump above the law and the American people.

The Trump Administration’s reckless foreign aid cuts are already undoing decades of progress, leading to surges in HIV/AIDS, malaria and hunger across the developing world. Studies project this massive aid loss could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

A thoughtful discussion with Alexandria House residents about pushing back on this administration’s excesses and finding solutions to the injustices we see daily.

“The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse… fewer Americans work in manufacturing than any point since the pandemic ended.” www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

Proud to see @abigailspanberger.com end 287(g) in Virginia. Our law enforcement should be focused on their vital missions, not distracted by the Trump Administration's chaotic, violent, and indiscriminate immigration enforcement which only makes our communities less safe.

I love the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber for many years. The Post’s coverage has enriched my life and is indispensable to my work as a policymaker. I think I speak for many when I say it is heartbreaking to watch Jeff Bezos run the Washington Post into the ground.

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

This Black History Month, I’m thinking about leaders like Barbara Johns, who fought to make our country live up to its highest ideals. Her courage as a student in segregated Virginia helped spark the end of school segregation. Her legacy deserves its place in the U.S. Capitol.

Congress must stop the lawlessness in Minnesota and across the country, with DHS breaking the law, ignoring the Constitution, committing violent acts and even murder. No secret police. Transparency and accountability aren’t optional. Masks OFF, body cameras ON, ID on demand.

Speaker Johnson is lying. He knows that counting mail votes is not “magic” or “fraudulent,” it is following the law. Echoing these lies shows how beholden Johnson is to the Liar In Chief, but the Speaker of the House should be above such awful behavior. This is disgraceful.

The second-in-command at Trump's coopted Justice Department, Pam Bondi's deputy:

For decades, START has reduced the risk on nuclear conflict. We must extend this treaty and prioritize efforts to prevent the possibility of a nuclear showdown. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. youtube.com/shorts/rdQcJ...

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and it is not remotely close.

Without identification there is no accountability. We are seeing the consequences of that over and over again in American communities, with officers engaging in violence, violations of rights, and even murder. We don’t do secret police in America — the masks must come off.

We will get justice. Release all the files now.

Trump’s co-opted Justice Department is arresting Georgia Fort and Don Lemon to intimidate journalists out of reporting the news while turning a blind eye to federal agents murdering American citizens. It’s appalling, and part of a larger assault on the First Amendment.

Alex Pretti doesn't have "stock," he isn't alive. CBP agents shot him in the back 10 times and killed him after disarming and pepper spraying him because he tried to protect a woman they were assaulting.

Trump chose Kevin Warsh for Fed Chair because his father-in-law is a billionaire donor, the brains behind Trump’s idiotic scheme to invade Greenland. 1/

The Director of National Intelligence is a serious, taxpayer-funded position created after 9/11 to coordinate efforts to keep Americans safe. Tulsi Gabbard is instead serving as Trump’s personal clown, chasing his lies and crackpot conspiracy theories. This is a scandal.

Today marks a year since the tragic midair collision at DCA claimed 67 lives. Their journeys ended far too soon, and their absence leaves a silence no words can fill. As we continue to build on our federal response, we're planning a memorial to honor those we lost. youtube.com/shorts/B68Hk...

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths. Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power. Fire Stephen Miller.

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. youtube.com/shorts/SMI7M...

U.S. consumer confidence is lower now than at any point in the pandemic.

The Department of Homeland Security is murdering American citizens. Congress cannot allow that to continue, we must act. We need a full, independent investigation into these killings. 1/ youtube.com/shorts/9e16c...

Every day, I hear from constituents about ICE escalating tactics in our neighborhoods. The message is clear: we don’t want ICE terrorizing our communities and trampling our constitutional rights. The people of Virginia did not ask for this.
