I see Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 20 times already by 10:43am on his third week of paid vacation. I invite him to join me in his district, doing his job, tomorrow in four cities. X can wait. This is what a real congressman does, FYI. Shutdown. Healthcare. Tariffs. More.

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia. This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

Stephen Miller is so on the wrong side of history

Congratulations to everyone running in the most beautiful urban marathon in America today! Hope and I crushed the 10 mile.

The last three government shutdowns have happened while Donald Trump was President. This shutdown, like all recent shutdowns, is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Enough with the chaos. Time for Republican leadership to work with Democrats to reopen government and save your health care.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans’ Big Beautiful Betrayal already made the biggest cut to health care in our nation’s history. Now, more than 20 million Americans who rely on health care tax credits are on a cliff, with their premiums set to double.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

Nope. We’re being run by incels and governed by memes. It’s fucking absurd.

My sister’s report from “war torn” Portland: “too many farmers markets, please send help.”

Never forget!!

The President does not get to pick and choose which states should have “fair maps” while other states sit on their hands. While other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.

All on 1 place at the same time. Seems like an ill-thought-out idea. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The latest Epstein estate haul drops the names: Musk, Thiel, Bannon cast in the shadows of a predator’s web. Flight manifests, calendars, ledgers: blood-stained evidence of proximity to abuse cloaked in silence.  Every redaction is a promise unkept to survivors, every dodge a contempt to justice.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

We will lose our country if our leaders, especially people in power, shrink. We must all stand strong together.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

When it comes to your health and the health of your family, trust your doctor and the medical evidence—not political figures spreading misinformation.

Billionaires don't worry about where their next meal comes from. Solving food insecurity should be our priority, not tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Ten days before millions of American see higher health care costs unless Republicans come to the table.

Decades of progress in the fight against cancer have saved millions of lives. The administration’s cuts will harm patients and jeopardize breakthroughs that are within our reach. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

When a ship the size of three football fields crashed into and collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, we lost six Marylanders. It also threatened the livelihoods of Marylanders and millions of Americans whose prosperity depended on the Bridge.

Unbelievable. Trump has now announced he is pushing out a U.S. Attorney because he refused to prosecute Trump’s political enemies. The message is clear: Trump will punish anyone who has the independence to challenge his baseless vendettas.

Today, Maryland took additional actions to protect COVID access: - Issued a standing order so vaccines can be administered based on guidance developed by medical professional societies instead of the federal government - Confirmed they have joined the Northeast Public Health Collaborative

Let’s be clear: Trump is weaponizing the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk to attack his critics, silence dissent, and escalate his assault on the First Amendment. We fought a revolution to guarantee free speech in America. We’re not going back.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

Donald Trump is clearly the malignant King of Cancel Culture. They have no respect for the First Amendment. Everything the far right extremists said to the American people about how they would lead was a big, fat lie.

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month? She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.

Trump’s immigration policies are creating staffing crises in nursing homes. This administration’s stance on TPS workers is not just wrong, it's a betrayal of our values. Caregivers need stability and dignity, not uncertainty. https://seiu.co/3IcI8Bh

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

This is a fair point.

Please listen to the strong argument Justice Sotomayor makes for our freedoms.

Trump lied when he said he would protect Social Security, and now—when Americans are already struggling to cover everyday costs—he’s working overtime to undermine access to benefits. So I introduced legislation to stop him and protect the services Americans depend on.

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

Vaccines are sound, science-based medicine. If we abandon them for fringe conspiracy theories, we put our communities and economy at risk. Proven medicines must be accessible to keep our families safe.

WaPo has a story mostly sourced to GOP Congressmen complaining that JD, not Trump himself, is selling Big Ugly Bill. Further down it explicitly compares how little Trump did to how much Biden did in 2021. This is the kind of story that can start a flood. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I am angry. Like really angry. Because a person who every day attacked people was shot. And straight away. Hateful people as usual blamed people they didn’t like. When as usual it was their own people. And the people who actually caused it. Blamed the left. Again.

Lets everyone go back to being pissed about Epstein

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter: 1. Grew up in a Republican family 2. Donated to Donald Trump 3. Loved guns 4. Was steeped in Groyper culture This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.
