Republicans keep saying there isn’t enough money for clean water, museums, climate science, public lands, or basic services. But somehow there's always more money for Trump’s pet projects. This is a choice: Trump’s ego over the public interest. Trump’s vanity over the needs of working families.

What a shitshow in DC this week! The good news: The Senate failed to pass a reconciliation bill that would’ve given MORE money to ICE—in defiance over Trump’s crazy demand that it include a $1.776 BILLION slush fund for his cronies (including J6 insurrectionists). 1776? Seriously? So gross. (1/2)
The Trump Admin paid a company $1 billion to cancel its offshore wind leases. They cited “national security” + “environmental” concerns. Literally days later, they removed a critical endangered species protection to allow unfettered drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Just mindboggling hypocrisy.
One of my amendments was simple: NO TRUMP ARCH! Most Americans oppose it. Veterans groups oppose it. It’s a huge waste of taxpayer money. Republicans say there’s no funding in the bill for an arch anyway. You think Trump cares about Congressional approval!? They can't stand up to him on ANYTHING!
Update from D.C.: Overnight, the Senate passed a bill that would fund the vital parts of DHS, like TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and cybersecurity professionals without handing ICE and CBP a blank check. Now, the House needs to get this passed. We’ll see if Republicans can get out of their own way.
Headed to Texas for an oversight visit of Dilley, where Mainer Olivia Andre and many others are being held under horrible conditions. I have a folder of photos and letters from loved ones to share with Olivia—as well as documentation on our efforts to bring her home. I hope they lift her spirits.
🧵 So grateful to @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social, as well as local +national media, for sharing Olivia's story. My concerns about her detention have only grown more urgent. She is a 19-year-old student who has reportedly lost a dangerous amount of weight—and whose mental health has deteriorated.
Republicans love to talk about “living within our means” when it comes to spending—except for the Pentagon, whose budget they want to increase by *40%*. Meanwhile, their cuts to the Forest Service are having a huge impact on research + wildfire management. The damage they’re doing is incalculable.
WHAT THE HELL is going on at the USPS? Yesterday, I received an alarming message about a company that delivers mail for USPS to several island communities in Maine. Apparently, USPS has been stiffing this company for years—to the tune of $388K—and hasn’t paid for a SINGLE delivery in 2026.
Each year the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee spends 2 days hearing from Chiefs, tribal leaders and indigenous communities. The stories are heartbreaking. Underfunded schools, inadequate health care and housing, missing and murdered indigenous women. We are NOT meeting our treaty obligations.
The right loves to slap the word “socialism” on anything that helps working people. Public schools. Health care. Basic services people rely on every day. The government has a role to play in making sure the system actually works for working people, not just billionaires and corporations.
Going the Distance: This week, UNICEF-led convoy missions reached 26 villages in Nabatiyeh, #Lebanon, delivering urgently needed emergency supplies to children and families in collective shelters and hard-to-reach areas. Our colleagues are working to deliver lifesaving support wherever its needed.
▶️ WATCH: "My personal view is that the electorate has made its mind up on the present Prime Minister and have decided they don't want him to continue in that role." At lunchtime I made my debut on Roxom TV, talking about the local & devolved election results and what they may mean for Keir Starmer.
Last summer began with three tiny puppies abandoned at a cement factory on the outskirts of the city. They were so small, so scared, and the place was incredibly dangerous for them... We took them to safety and started searching for families, but no one wanted to adopt them.
First part of day 1. Sorry that I don't have Gen Z skills and was slow to start on the crosswalk vid but I slowed the first part down so you can hear the crossing guard whistle and see the car run the lights.

Tackling the cost of living is this government's number one priority. That's why energy bills will fall next week. But we're also learning the right lessons from the current conflict to protect families in the future.

Alice Coachman became the first Black woman from any country to win Olympic gold in 1948 after growing up training barefoot because Black athletes were denied access to many facilities. She was also the only American woman to win gold that year. She soared past every barrier. #SheShed

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.
