You know what blatant ignorance, stupidity and fascism look like? The MAGA regime and republicans destroying the Department of Education whilst rebranding the Department of Defense to the “dept of war” to the cost of $2B in updates whilst telling people there’s no money.

Black Friday hits different when prices are already inflated. A ‘deal’ doesn’t feel like a deal when reckless trade wars are driving up costs before you even hit the checkout counter. Prices on everyday goods keep climbing, and even “sale” tags can’t hide the pain shifted onto working families.

Republicans’ refusal to act will mean 29,000 people in #OH13 will be paying more for their health insurance premiums next year.

Swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag are hate symbols. Full stop. The U.S. Coast Guard should never have even considered re-classifying these symbols as “potentially divisive.” I’m demanding more answers.

Happy Thanksgiving

The administration slashed investments in energy, and now New Mexicans are bracing themselves for the cold winter months while their utility bills soar. Yesterday, I called on HHS to bring down utility prices immediately so hardworking folks aren’t left out in the cold.

That’s why I’m urging USDA to restore full bird flu surveillance and research programs to contain outbreaks and protect producers, workers, and families.

California’s poultry and egg industry supports over 120,000 jobs and nearly $121 billion for our economy. As avian flu cases rise heading into the holidays, our farmers are once again on the front lines. When they suffer, our entire food supply feels it.

As we head into the holiday season, grocery prices are climbing thanks to Trump’s tariff taxes.

Home heating costs are expected to rise even faster than inflation this winter. Families should not have to choose between staying warm and other essentials like food or rent. I’m leading a call for home heating assistance to urgently be delivered to families in need. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

Rep. Sykes recently voted in support of the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025. The bill increases some VA benefits including disability compensation, clothing allowances, and dependency and indemnity compensation to reflect the reality of the increased cost of living.

Over the weekend I had the chance to see old friends at Casa de Peregrinos, where we helped prep for the Thanksgiving rush by loading up turkeys for folks in Sunland Park and La Union. I’m grateful for this amazing organization and all they do to serve our community!

The President promised to cut energy bills in half. Instead, reckless tariffs and the war on cheaper energy is causing them to soar. 80 Million Americans are struggling to pay their utility bills—forced to decide between heat, food, medicine and housing. We need an all of the above energy strategy.

If the Affordable Care Act subsidies are not extended, health insurance costs will soar for hardworking families in #OH13.

I’ll save Trump + Sec. Signalgate some time: I never took a dime from a Ukrainian citizen or government entity. But let’s be clear about what he’s trying so hard to distract from: my demands for him to release his phone call with MBS after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, prices are continuing to climb. Why is this happening? Let me walk you through it:

In a time of rising antisemitism and racial violence across the nation, we must forcefully take a stand against emblems that incite hate and violence. The Coast Guard should never have even considered changing the classification of swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

Got put right to work at this year’s annual Harbor Care Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday! Thank you to the team at Harbor Care for supporting those in need, including our veterans.

El Caldito Soup Kitchen provides meals and services for the most vulnerable in the Las Cruces Community. This week, I helped prepare food and talked with volunteers and staff about the important work they do, and I’m committed to continue supporting the Community of Hope.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks and spend time with your loved ones, but too many Americans won’t be able to celebrate as they usually do. If you can, please consider supporting one of the many organizations across New Hampshire that are helping Granite Staters year-round.

27 veteran-owned businesses in VA-07 have been impacted by DOGE’s misguided decisions to cancel Veterans Affairs contracts. DOGE has no idea what it’s doing — and veterans are paying the price. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Holiday travel shouldn’t be a nightmare. I’m calling on DOT Secretary Duffy to restore rules that protect travelers and keep costs down, because if an airline delays or cancels your flight, you deserve fair compensation. It’s not rocket science.

Rep. Sykes joined her colleagues in sending a letter to HHS Secretary RFK Jr. to demand he release funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. This program helps millions of families, seniors, and children afford heating in the winter and cooling during dangerously hot summers.

Rep. Sykes will not stop fighting to lower your costs and keep more money in your pockets. A strong economy is one that gives families the confidence to meet their needs and build toward the future, and that’s what Rep. Sykes wants for everyone in #OH13.

Happy Thanksgiving Northwest Indiana!

Happy Thanksgiving, North Carolina! Thanksgiving is a time to remember all there is to be thankful for in our lives. During this week I hope all of us can celebrate with loved ones and enjoy food, football and fellowship.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Alisha, Eva, Lila, and I wish everyone a peaceful day with loved ones.

On this Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the friends and family who fill our lives with joy and compassion. This holiday is a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the little things that matter most. Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, I am thankful for everyone in our communities who helps put dinner on our table, from hands that grow and harvest our food, to those who prepare it. Grateful for all who grow, make, and share what nourishes us—because what America makes and grows, makes and grows America. #HappyThanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, New Hampshire! Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving, New Mexico! I’m grateful for all of you today and every day.

Happy Thanksgiving! We started our day off with a Turkey Trot and are now going to cook, watch football, and eat. It is so easy, particularly during these tumultuous times, to forget how fortunate we are. I am thankful for so much, and I am thinking of those who are lonely, cold, or hungry today.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and restful holiday with the people you love. 🦃🍁

As we gather with loved ones today, I’m thankful for the people of VA-07 and for everyone working to build a stronger, fairer future. I’m committed to continuing that work in Congress. Cindy and I are wishing you and your families a warm, restful, and safe Thanksgiving.

From my family to yours, I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

I’m ready to come back on active duty to defend @captmarkkelly.bsky.social as an Army JAG. I’ve got a pretty good win record…. See you in court.

It’s extremely concerning that the U.S. Coast Guard was ever considering classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as “potentially divisive” instead of as the clear antisemitic and racial hate symbols they are. I’m demanding answers.

If you've actually gone grocery shopping recently, it's pretty easy to tell that prices aren't down.

The Trump administration must do what is right and release all of the Epstein Files!

In the Big Ugly Bill, Republicans gave away more than $5 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% and are forcing American families to foot the bill by raising health insurance costs for those with Affordable Care Act plans.

Last week, I demanded the truth about Donald Trump’s call with Mohammed bin Salman regarding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Now, I’m being targeted in a sham investigation by DOW for calling this administration out on their corruption. I'm not backing down. We will get the truth.
