Taxpayer funding for Trump’s ballroom? Dead. And that’s not even the biggest fight this week. Today we vote on a war powers resolution to rein in his war with Iran. Here’s where things stand 👇

This week, I took to the floor of the House to mark the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I will keep working to free the Armenian prisoners, end military aid to Azerbaijan, and ensure future generations learn the truth about what happened 111 years ago.
The Iran war is costing 6x more than what we spend on food assistance for hungry Americans. Trump has decided we can't afford healthcare tax credits for hardworking Americans, but we can spend up to $2 billion a day dropping bombs in the Middle East.
House Republicans are trying to ram-through a rewrite of our nation's spy powers, including warrantless data collection on US citizens. They dropped the text at 11pm and will vote at 3am. No vetting. No public input. About spying on Americans. I'm a NO.
Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.
Trump’s war of choice with Iran is not a “little excursion”. It’s not a video game either, especially to the families of the 13 service members who have been killed.
With gas prices spiking, groceries going up, and domestic programs being gutted to pay for billionaire tax breaks, we are funding a war with no exit plan. I asked the question everyone's thinking:
A lot of time has passed since West Hollywood’s Fire Station 8 served as the backdrop for the 70’s show Emergency. Technology has changed, and so have earthquake risks. (1/2)
Trump is letting his weird hatred of windmills get in the way of creating enough renewable energy to affordably power 20 million American homes. He’s standing in the way of lower prices and clean air.
I've worked in too many places — Hollywood, the Legislature, and Congress — to stay silent while people in power take advantage of their staff.

Donald Trump went to a military high school and thinks he knows more than about war than our admirals and generals. The cost of his arrogance? 13 dead Americans, 150 dead Iranian children, Gas prices spiking at home, and a war with no off-ramp.
Storyteller extraordinaire Don Winslow has been warning us since 2015: “The Trump playbook is to start a fire every day in order to hide the fact he’s violating the First Amendment and stealing the election.” His new book “The Final Score.”
