Trump does not want a peacefully prosperous nation. He is trying to provoke, antagonize and incite. Do not ignore this act of tyranny.

Interesting how Trump is slapping tariffs on countless allies but gives a completely free pass to Russia. Yet another sign of this administration’s endless fealty to Putin… and this time, it’s raising your prices in the process.

Shockingly, Mike Waltz' investigation of himself turned up none of this. Amazing how that works! This scandal is corrupt as hell. Waltz and top officials like Hegseth and Gabbard involved in this egregious breach of security must go, and we need a special counsel to investigate.

🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info. This goes way beyond what was previously known.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

This Administration mass fired tens of thousands of federal workers for no reason on made-up pretexts. Now Trump's people are engaging in a coverup, blatantly lying to evade accountability. These people screwed up in ways that put our troops at risk and they should be fired.

Advance strike times are sensitive and classified because they put American military directly at risk. The Secretary of Defense was blasting them out to unknown numbers over unclassified channels. It’s sloppy, careless, and dangerous. He should resign.

Trump wants to get teachers fired, hurt schools, make students go hungry, and make college less affordable, all to make billionaires a little richer. His attack on the Department of Education is illegal and the courts should put a swift halt to this nonsense.

The January 6 pardons are among the worst things Trump has ever done. He put violent, dangerous felons into our communities. They are emboldened by Trump's “get-out-of-jail-free” cards. Watch my full speech on the House floor:

As recent Supreme Court rulings have made clear, attacks on LGBTQ Americans' rights are connected to attacks on reproductive rights. Trump and his Republican allies in Congress showed immediately that they will attack your essential freedoms. We will fight them.

Trump's purge of inspectors general is flagrantly illegal and crooked. That Trump chose to break the law to remove independent, nonpartisan watchdogs who guard against waste, fraud, and criminal behavior shows his intent to commit acts of extreme corruption.
