Trump played golf all weekend. Not working to bring down prices. Not working to end the war in Iran. He doesn’t have a care in the world, because he doesn’t care about us. civictracker.us/executive/sc...

Under Trump the U.S. has become an unreliable friend, even a threat. Will we stand with Taiwan? Trump gives Xi reason to doubt it. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/w...

Trump withholds $1.3B from California for healthcare, negotiates with himself to get a $1.7B MAGA slush fund from the IRS. Why should Californians’ federal tax dollars go to Trump and his family and friends, instead of providing healthcare?

🗣️ REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY… we convict the Tennessee general assembly of exploiting Black people and attempting to dilute Black political power. Governor Lee is guilty. Cameron Sexton is guilty. White supremacy is guilty.” #Jimcrow #WeThePeople

Trump loses in court again on tariffs. He can’t just impose whatever tax he wants. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/b...

The Republican Party our country once knew is gone. It’s now a cult of Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

What does Trump’s ballroom have to do with immigration, one might ask. Taxpayers were always going to pay. One grift after another. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Women in abortion ban states deserve access to abortion care.

Thank you @blueturnindivisible.org for organizing this rally, and the people of Mountain View and beyond for making it happen!

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

Trump has no idea how to get the U.S. out of his standoff with Iran. The harm to the U.S. and world economy is just starting to hit. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/b...

Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

Republicans’ Farm Bill doesn’t help farmers OR families. Instead, it prioritizes private profits by handing pesticide corporations a sweetheart deal.

You're paying record high prices at the pump. But when asked when the war will be over, Donald Trump's says: "don't rush me." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...

Statement from Chair Rusty Hicks on Supreme Court decision eviscerating the Voting Rights Act.

Well, well, well… look at that. Just minutes after Oversight Democrats filed a resolution to hold Pam Bondi in contempt for dodging her deposition, Republicans found a way to schedule it. See you on May 29, Pam.

Passport to Megalomania.

Trump will help himself to $10 billion in taxpayer money. Nobody in his DOJ would dare oppose his lawsuit against the IRS. Unless the courts stop him he will demand and take what he wants. Stop Trump. Elect a Democratic Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

Trump passports, gold coins, Big Ugly Ballroom, Arc de Trump…nothing will make us remember him as anything other than a sad failure as president. Only 998 days until Inauguration Day 2029. apnews.com/article/pass...

Analysis confirms: Trump’s tariffs are paid fully by US consumers and more than offset the meager tax reductions for non-billionaires in the Big Ugly Bill. Gift link: www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Youth suicides have decreased since the rollout of the 988 prevention line in July 2020. Public policy and investment can save lives. www.nami.org/in-the-news/...

Trump has gutted federal election protection, replacing career professionals with 2020 election deniers. States will need to be vigilant, and Democratic voters will need to turn out in high numbers. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

States across the nation are waiting on FEMA to deliver key funding. I just offered a measure to force the release of billions of dollars that California and other states are waiting for to help with fire, flood and other recovery efforts.

Public schools are for all children. Those of all faiths and those not adherents any religion. The government should not display icons of a state-preferred faith in our schools. apnews.com/article/texa...

“Trump’s systematic exploitation of Executive Branch power to loot billions of dollars from American taxpayers is the ongoing scandal of this ruthlessly corrupt Administration,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said. www.americaamerica.news/p/feeding-at...

The U.S. will soon begin to feel the full effects of Trump’s war. Trump doesn’t seem to have any idea how to get out of it. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/w...

Tax refunds are up slightly but easily overrun by higher costs due to Trump’s wars and tariffs. Billionaires got tax relief. Millions lost healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/b...

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Congress needs to come back from recess to stop Trump’s war in Iran. Democrats, Independents and Republicans all know it. But per usual, Republican leaders in Congress are afraid to stand up for what’s right. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/p...

Trump supports a four day work week? Of his fie years in office, a full year of days playing golf.
