Rep. Zoe Lofgren

The House finally passed the War Powers Resolution yesterday to end Trump’s war in Iran. Sec. Rubio says the war is over, but tell that to the hundreds of millions of Americans still paying ridiculous gas prices. The Senate needs to follow suit and pass this resolution.

This Memorial Day, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this nation. We must honor them by continuing to protect the freedoms and democracy for which they gave their lives.

My Republican colleagues called a hearing on threats to the Supreme Court’s legitimacy, so I decided to read just a few examples of the $2.4 million in gifts Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted from his ultra wealthy allies:

Trump using your taxpayer dollars to compensate J6 rioters isn’t just outrageous, it’s also dangerous. It sends the signal that the next time extremists are called to violently attack Trump’s opponents, he will not only pardon them but reward them financially for their crimes.

The same week that inflation had its biggest jump in 3 years, Trump says he’s not thinking about Americans’ financial situation. How much longer will congressional Republicans enable his out of touch policies?

Republicans are trying to give another $70 billion to ICE and CBP and…$1 BILLION for Trump’s ballroom. Nothing to help lower the cost of your gas, your groceries, or your healthcare.

Small businesses are struggling under Trump’s tariffs and his Iran War. This Small Business Week, let’s put an end to these failed policies and focus on solutions that will help our small business owners and consumers.

America’s farmers are struggling, and so are those impacted by Republicans’ food assistance cuts. The Republican Farm Bill passed this week does not do anything to help those folks.

Today, we honor the 1.5 million lives lost to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 perpetrated by the Turkish government of the Ottoman Empire. 111 years later, it’s important to combat disinformation about this atrocity and defend the human dignity of all people.

The clock is ticking. We are coming up on 60 days since Trump dragged America into a war with Iran, meaning the War Powers Act requires him to come to Congress for authorization. Congress needs to finally end Trump’s costly war of choice.

Happy Earth Day! 🌱🌎 In Congress, I’m fighting back against attacks on our environment and introducing new bipartisan legislation today to support wildlife conservation.

Gas prices have soared since Trump started his illegal war with Iran, yet Republicans in Congress this week once again refused to vote for the War Powers Resolution. We need to end this illegal and costly war.

Trump wants to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into his illegal Iran war. Here’s what that your tax dollars could be used for instead:

Just because Pam Bondi was fired doesn’t excuse her from accountability for her role in the Epstein file coverup. There is still a bipartisan subpoena to have her testify in front of Congress, and she must comply so the American people can get the truth.

Airports are a mess right now, and Republicans could easily fix it if they would just pass Democrats’ bill to fund TSA. Let’s pay our TSA agents and end these unnecessary lines and delays.

A lot of folks were outraged when the FBI got a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago for classified documents that Trump stole. Yet those same people are quiet when ICE is breaking down Americans’ doors without any warrant and trampling on the 4th Amendment. Why is that?

Even Trump’s own appointees are now resigning in protest over his illegal war with Iran. It’s a war that’s costing Americans dearly, and Congress needs to rein this in before we get stuck in another endless war.

Our immigration court system simply cannot be impartial nor effective as long as it remains under the DOJ and the executive branch. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill with @raskin.house.gov, @hankjohnson.house.gov, and @repdangoldman.bsky.social to create an independent immigration court system.

Donald Trump’s war in Iran isn’t just illegal, it’s expensive - costing taxpayers about $1,000,000,000 PER DAY and sending gas prices soaring. Republicans can find money for bombs but not for Americans’ healthcare?

Good riddance to Kristi Noem. I will still be voting today against the DHS bill that does nothing to rein in her lawless ICE agents.

I just asked Kristi Noem why her masked ICE agents are breaking windows and dragging U.S. citizens out of their cars. Is that their training? She says these are “soft techniques”. If these are soft techniques, the need for Congress to rein in ICE couldn’t be more obvious.

Before he was elected, Vice President Vance was adamantly opposed to war with Iran. Now that he’s in power, he’s cheerleading Trump’s illegal and reckless war.

I’ve voted twice this year against funding Trump’s masked, poorly trained ICE agents. I’m prepared to vote no again until we rein in this lawless army Trump and Kristi Noem unleashed on America.

The Department of Justice and the FBI are not fully complying with the release of the Epstein files as mandated by law. When I asked Pam Bondi about the lack of transparency, AG Bondi responded with theatrics and regurgitated White House talking points.

I just reviewed some of the unredacted Epstein files at the Department of Justice. Trump and many powerful people are often mentioned, but there’s also MILLIONS of files the DOJ continues to withhold in violation of the law. This coverup needs to end.
