Job cuts in October hit the highest for the month in 22 years. Over 1.1 MILLION layoffs announced this year. Trump and Washington Republicans are badly mismanaging the economy and working families are paying for it. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/j...

Nancy Pelosi taught me lessons I’ll carry forever.  Winning is a decision.  No wasted time, no underutilized resources, and no regrets.  Don’t agonize, organize.  Her leadership and grace changed Congress and our country.  The Greatest Speaker of All Time. #ThankYouNancy

Even Republicans are admitting it—Mike Johnson has his members at home on a 6-week vacation instead of in D.C. working to end this shutdown with Democrats. Health care premiums are soaring, prices are up and workers aren’t being paid, all while Johnson does NOTHING. He’s a total joke.

Every major election candidate that Trump endorsed lost last night. America soundly rejected his corruption and chaos. Our democracy survives as long as we keep fighting for it.

I said something was happening out there—and last night proved it. Californians stood up for fairness and accountability, Prop 50 passed, and the people elected Democrats across the country. The fight doesn’t stop here, but we should be proud of this. And we’ll keep it up in 2026.

I just visited the food distribution at the Community Resource Center in Encinitas. They are having a huge increase in SNAP recipients who need help. It is immoral, illegal, and inconceivable that the Trump Administration would attempt to use hunger as political leverage.

Last night began the next chapter to show that fairness and democracy CAN still win in America.

Everyone deserves a break from skyrocketing utility bills. That’s why I’m working with my friend Rep. Sean Casten to introduce the Cheap Energy Agenda—a robust plan to finally bring working families relief from the burden of high energy costs. 🧵👇

Huge congratulations to my friends Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, two amazing fellow members of the Class of 2018 in the House of Representatives. So proud of both who will be fantastic governors for Virginia and New Jersey! 🇺🇸 @abigailspanberger.com @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

As of today, the shutdown has now tied the longest in U.S. history. While families face soaring health premiums and workers go unpaid, Speaker Mike Johnson says there’s “no point” in doing his job. The weakest Speaker ever. I’m ready to vote NOW to protect health care and reopen government.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to ILLEGALLY and IMMORALLY block food aid that Congress funded, using hunger as a political weapon. While 40 million Americans worry about groceries, he throws a Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago. The cruelty isn’t accidental, it’s the point.

Trump told at least 18 lies in his “60 Minutes” interview, about prices, inflation, the election, and even basic history. We must not continue to normalize his lies. The only antidote to his disinformation is truth, repeated loudly and often. Read the fact check. www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...

Today, VOTE YES on Prop 50. Texas’ radical gerrymandering leaves us no real choice. This is about fairness and protecting democracy itself. Take your ballot to a drop box or vote center before 8 PM. Every vote matters today!

Trump is selling influence by the square foot. His billionaire donors helped fund his new $300 million White House ballroom, and together they hold $279 BILLION in federal contracts. It’s pay-to-play corruption at the highest level.

Mike Johnson just said there’s “no point” in bringing the House back to work during the shutdown. That’s not leadership—it’s surrender. Compared to Johnson, Kevin McCarthy looks like Profiles in Courage. Americans deserve leaders who show up, not ones who give up. www.axios.com/2025/10/29/m...

It’s been over 40 days since House Republicans showed up to work. While families face rising costs and a government shutdown, Mike Johnson keeps his members home. Even some in his own party now admit this strategy is a disaster. Bring everyone back to DC, now! www.notus.org/house/some-h...

Elections should be decided by voters, not politicians rigging the game for Trump’s benefit. That’s why Prop 50 gives Californians the power to decide if we’ll push back, temporarily, and ensure fair representation across the country. I voted YES, and I hope you will too. #CAVoteYesProp50

I wish the American people could count on Mike Johnson to put them first, bring House Republicans back to D.C., and end this shutdown. Instead, the weakest Speaker in American history refuses to exercise independent thought or judgment and lets Trump run the show.

The Trump Administration’s HUD plan would gut housing aid for 1,400 people in Orange County alone: seniors, veterans and families who finally got off the streets. Pulling that support now would be cruel, chaotic, and disastrous for our communities.

How can Congress negotiate to reopen the government if Republicans refuse to even show up? For FIVE WEEKS IN A ROW, Mike Johnson has refused to call his members back. Johnson is the weakest Speaker in American history.

They found $40 billion for a bailout to Argentina but can’t find a dime to stop millions of Americans from losing their healthcare. The Trump Administration is letting ACA tax credits expire, driving premiums up an average of 30%. America first?

Fitzgerald wrote of the careless rich who “smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money.” A century later, it’s still true, only now the party’s at Mar-a-Lago, while millions are at risk of going hungry. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If Secretary Noem thinks the Coast Guard needs modernization, she should start with the vessels and rescue gear that save lives, not a flying five-star hotel to help herself travel in style. Because that’s not public service, it’s self-serving corruption.

The scariest thing I’ve seen this Halloween? How much healthcare premiums will increase for working American families if Republicans don’t work with Democrats to keep them affordable.

Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown. Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today. Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries while Trump is building himself a gilded ballroom. He should be focused on lowering the cost of living, not his own luxury. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The Trump Administration is sending tens of BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars to support Argentina but is not interested in spending a similar amount to make sure millions of Americans can keep their health care next year. That tells you everything.

“If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together.” - Donald Trump, 2011 on the Today Show

Mike Johnson said he doesn’t want to call Republicans back to DC during the shutdown because they’re doing “some of the most meaningful work” of their careers at home. What a total joke. Come back to DC and do your jobs.

Speaker Johnson has illegally and unconstitutionally refused to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva for more than a month, denying Arizona voters their right to representation in Congress. Her election is certified. His obstruction is partisan and indefensible.
