Trump's layoffs at the VA were so reckless, they erroneously fired Veteran Crisis Line workers. That. Never. Should. Have. Happened. Tomorrow, I'm introducing legislation to protect this lifeline that supports our heroes in their hour of need.

Absolutely shameful.   Trump's trans military service ban hurts our military readiness, makes our military's recruitment challenges even worse and disrespects Americans who are brave enough to serve in uniform.   This will make our military less lethal and…

Jan has been a champion for Illinois and progressive values for decades in Congress. I couldn't be more proud to call her a colleague and a friend—her leadership and her advocacy will be sorely missed. Congratulations @schakowsky.house.gov on your…

Mike Waltz is failing up.

He’s being rewarded for an egregious national security breach by being tapped for UN Ambassador—a slap in the face to the troops he put in greater danger with SignalGate.

I’ll be voting no.

The lethal high-powered rifles I carried during my military service were designed for war.   Not our streets. Not our neighborhoods. Certainly not our schools.   Senate Democrats introduced legislation to revive the nationwide assault weapons ban.   It’s…

Took long enough. Mike Waltz knowingly made an unclassified chain to discuss classified matters. But of all the idiots in that chat, Hegseth is the biggest security risk of all—he leaked the info that put our troops in greater danger. Fire and…

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! No matter what Trump or Hegseth say, diversity *is* our greatest strength—and our AANHPI communities have proven that time and again. AANHPI stories are American stories. Always…

SNAP programs create 200,000 jobs and billions in wages—along with putting food on the table for millions. Republicans' budget plans to eliminate this, putting people out of work and taking food out of families' mouths so they can fund billionaire tax…

The Trump Playbook:   Take credit for the strong economy he inherited.
Crash that economy with needless tariffs.
Blame others for the mess he made.
Repeat.

Ripping medical care away from our transgender servicemembers is NOT how we make our military more lethal—it's just dangerous, unconstitutional and transphobic. Now, Hegseth must heed our call to reverse the Trump Admin’s hateful trans military ban too.…

This is how you make America sicker, not healthier. Trump is cancelling almost a BILLION dollars in grants to clean up poisonous pollution, get rid of lead in drinking water and other projects that help protect the health of our families. Despicable.…

Trump’s first 100 days:   DOGE cuts. Fired Veterans. SignalGate. Trade wars. Higher grocery bills. Social Security benefits at risk. Deported citizens. Economy tanked.   This is no golden age for America.   It's a shitshow.

Thanks to Trump, it’s getting harder to afford the basics—groceries, gas and the list goes on.

That’s what happens when leaders protect billionaires and leave working families with the bill.
