Blocking wind and solar is unbelievably stupid. It hands China and our competitors the lead in the fastest-growing energy industries, drives up electric bills, and forces families to rely on more expensive fossil fuels.

This should be a bigger story. A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

Steve Bannon wants to turn ICE into a tool for intimidating voters and undermining elections. That is dangerous and un-American.  Any DHS funding deal must clearly ban ICE from polling places, election offices, and ballot-counting sites. For me, this is a RED LINE.

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Every court, every audit, every recount proved it. He knows it. Yet he’s spent years bullying officials and poisoning trust in our democracy to prop up a lie.

The IRS runs on about $12 billion a year. Donald Trump is suing it for $10 billion, nearly the agency’s entire budget. He’s trying to drain a public institution to settle a personal grievance over a crime someone else already paid for.

For a number of years, I’ve been working on the bipartisan Dignity Act with colleagues from both parties who are serious about fixing what’s broken in our immigration system.

The Trump administration tried to fire civil rights staff, got blocked, then paid them to sit at home for nine months. Cost: up to $38 million. No greater “efficiencies” achieved, just wasted taxpayer money and weaker protections for kids. Total and complete incompetence.

Trump lies so often about so many things, both large and small, including his bad poll numbers, that he’s trained people to doubt everything. Facts blur, trust collapses. You can call it his liar’s dividend. It’s how accountability disappears. We the people must keep fighting back.

This is disgraceful stuff from Mike Johnson. He feeds Trump’s conspiracy machine with utter nonsense. He knows late-counted mail and provisional ballots routinely come in last and often lean Democratic. But telling the truth doesn’t serve his dear leader.

Trump and Washington Republicans are pouring roughly $30 billion in extra funding into ICE. That same money could extend ACA tax credits and keep millions of Americans insured. They chose deportation raids over doctor visits. Cruelty over care. It’s reprehensible. #FundHealthCareOverICE

America is a nation of laws. And a nation of immigrants. We don’t need chaos. We need competence. Stop giving ICE a blank check. Demand accountability.

A constituent of mine had a theory this past weekend about why Trump is causing so much chaos. I’m not a doctor, but I think his diagnosis is strong!

After firing staff and driving donors and performers out, he’s calling it “renovation.” It’s cultural vandalism and a taxpayer-funded cover-up for his own arrogance and mismanagement.

Trump turned the Kennedy Center into a political vanity project, chased away world-class artists, cut attendance in half, and now wants to shut it down for two years with no clear plan, no transparency, and no accountability.

Right now, Trump is “only” talking. But what he’s talking about matters. Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution gives states—not presidents or parties—control over elections.

A top U.A.E. royal secretly bought nearly half of Trump’s crypto company. Months later, the U.A.E. was approved to receive sensitive U.S. AI chips. Trump’s family reportedly pocketed close to $200 million. No clear separation between public duty and private profit. That’s not “America First.”

Trump lost the 2020 election, never accepted it, and has spent years trying to bend institutions to validate a lie. Trump cannot move on, cannot tell the truth, and cannot stop dragging the country through his personal grievances. He’s on a perpetual campaign against reality.

The IRS tax-return leaker is already serving a five-year prison sentence. Now Trump is suing the IRS and Treasury anyway for $10 billion. Translation: after the system punished the culprit, he still wants taxpayers to write him a massive check. That’s not accountability. That’s a shakedown.

Americans are fed up with a political system where big money speaks louder than everyday people. A new national poll shows that large majorities of voters believe money in politics is a threat to our elections, and that large donors make it harder for ordinary Americans to be heard.

We have to make sure during this difficult time that we keep speaking up, that we keep showing up, and that we keep standing up. Thanks to the Democratic Club of Carlsbad and Oceanside for having me. @demcco.bsky.social

I was honored to attend the 77th India Day of Republic in Balboa Park! Special thanks to Assemblymember Darshana Patel for inviting me. A great reminder of how our diverse communities strengthen our country.

A five-year-old child is still being held in federal custody after being separated from his family. Whatever your views on immigration, this isn’t who we are. We can enforce the law and still treat kids with humanity and basic decency.

Don Lemon’s arrest in Minnesota was not about public safety or justice. It raised serious concerns about intimidation and press freedom. He was released because people spoke out and demanded accountability. Let’s keep going.

The arrest of Don Lemon is a chilling attack on the First Amendment and a free press. He was acting as a journalist, documenting a protest, not participating in it. Arresting reporters for doing their jobs is what authoritarian governments do.

This is truly absurd. A sitting president is demanding $10 BILLION of taxpayer money from the government he runs, because a rogue employee went to prison for leaking documents that exposed years of shady finances.

I’m honored to receive an A+ from End Citizens United. At a time when too many politicians are willing to look the other way, I’ve made a commitment to stand up to corruption, put people over special interests, and demand real accountability in Washington.

This story isn’t getting nearly enough attention. Trump seized Venezuela’s oil. Now, he’s routing hundreds of millions in sales through foreign bank accounts, handing the first contract to a company whose top trader gave MILLIONS to his campaign.

Kristi Noem must step aside or be removed. And if she is not, Congress has a responsibility to act via impeachment. This is not about left versus right. This is about right versus wrong. It is about whether federal power is exercised responsibly.

Republicans gave ICE more money than Canada spends on its entire military in a year—over $29 BILLION. This inflated budget under Kristi Noem isn’t about safety. It’s about forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for a mass deportation quota, no matter who gets hurt.

Under Trump and Washington Republicans, prices keep rising while wages fall behind.

Now, after smearing an innocent American as a “terrorist,” Stephen Miller is pointing fingers to dodge blame. This brutality wasn’t an accident. Miller built this cruelty from the ground up. His mass-deportation quotas turned human lives into statistics and fueled reckless, militarized raids.

What is happening?

While I am glad that TikTok is no longer a vehicle for pro-Chinese propaganda, I am deeply concerned it’s now being replaced by pro-Trump propaganda. 🧵👇

“No man is above the law, and no man is below it.” -Teddy Roosevelt Roosevelt understood that when leaders act as if the rules apply only to their enemies, the foundation of our democracy begins to crack.

ICE now gets over $30B a year with the surge from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. That puts a domestic enforcement agency in the same spending range as major national militaries. This is an out-of-control, bloated agency getting a blank check from Congress while basic accountability is ignored.

I’ve been clear for months that Kristi Noem should not be leading the Department of Homeland Security. DHS is supposed to protect the American people, not sow fear or chaos.

More total recklessness from Stephen Miller. Alex Pretti was an American citizen and ICU nurse, not an “assassin.” Inflaming the situation with false labels is dangerous and irresponsible. Anyone who believes in law, order, and due process should reject this kind of rhetoric.
