Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!

Instead of focusing on priorities people care about, tonight Republicans are using a procedural end-run to get around the will of the American people & stuff ICE & CBP with billions more of your taxpayer dollars.
In addition to the 13 American servicemembers who have been killed, Trump's war has resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 civilians in the region, including over 100 Iranian school kids. All of them should be alive today. To stop the killing we must end the war, NOW.
Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.
If you were outraged when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you should be outraged by what they're doing to students who spoke out against the war in Gaza. Now they're firing immigration "judges" who refuse to go along with their illegal scheme. Defend free speech! ⬇️
Today, Trump hosted AI execs to ask them to "pledge" to cover the electricity costs of their data centers. One problem? It's smoke and mirrors. Consumers should understand that if he's serious, Trump would support my Power for the People Act to make these protections LAW.
On the campaign trail, Trump pledged he would not drag America into another war. Then he became the first president stupid & reckless enough to put American lives at risk in support of Israeli PM Netanyahu's 40-year quest for a regime change war in Iran.
Yesterday, Trump announced a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for his allies & friends. Today, I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police & committed violent crimes, would be eligible for payouts. He couldn't say no.
The last time Secretary Lutnick appeared before the Senate, I pressed him on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. On Feb 27th, @merkley.senate.gov & I sent him a letter asking him for certain records and to answer questions. He did not respond. The American people deserve transparency.
Instead of ending his illegal war in Iran, Trump spent the weekend attacking Pope Leo & posting pictures of himself as Christ. This unhinged man is unfit to be Commander in Chief. He is putting Americans & the world in danger. We must end this war now.
Trump's war of choice in Iran has cost us the lives of 13 American service members & injured hundreds, killed thousands of civilians, & is costing $2 BILLION per day. With Trump considering putting boots on the ground, we must say loud & clear: End this war, NOW! 📍Aberdeen, MD

Putin says everyone wanted to “grab something from Russia” and asks why Finland joined NATO if there were no territorial disputes. Pesky Finns. Did you really join NATO just to snatch a piece of Russia? Hope you were aiming for a big one😁

Big news from 🇵🇹! It plans to halve its fossil fuel dependence over the next decade. Already at ~80% renewables in its power mix, the next steps are: 1️⃣ electrifying transport, industry & heating. 2️⃣ backing a windfall tax on companies profiting from fossil fuel price spikes due to the Iran conflict!

The GOP will never hold anyone accountable for #TheEpsteinFiles. They demand feelings over facts, then cry foul when they do not get the emotional soundbite they want. Now they claim she did not answer. That is not oversight. That is spin. That is the messaging war in a nutshell. #ProudBlue
