I applaud the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay—a strong signal of support for the international human rights system, which is under significant political attack, including from the US government. America is strongest when we uphold & promote universal human rights. https://t.co/A1TpxyYMMR
The Federal Reserve confirms what we’ve known all along: Trump’s stupid tariffs are directly responsible for soaring prices. And Republicans haven’t done a damn thing to stop him. Their mess. Their failed economic policies. https://t.co/Y7HgoHtds2
Live-streamed executions. Rampant corruption. Attacks on journalists. Government propaganda. MAGA might be fine with us turning into North Korea or Saudi Arabia. I’m not. This disgusting and un-American plan must be stopped.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express” Trump’s inner circle takes corrupt bribes while the rest of America struggles to survive. Republicans get richer by screwing us over. The grift is unreal. https://t.co/qkzKv2WHLI
The guy who said affordability is a hoax once again has concepts of a plan to fix it. It’s been 2 years. He had his chance and he blew it.
MAGA: YoU’Re TaKiNg HiS wOrDs OuT oF cOnTeXt Trump: Nah, I said let Iran bomb two American cities

The American people consider anyone who uses the terms, “Gulf of America” and “Lake America” as opposed to the highly accepted and more accurate terms, “Gulf of Mexico” and “Lake Ontario,” as IN A CULT! Ranking Member JAMES P. MCGOVEN
Egypt arrested an entire independent newsroom simply for doing their jobs. Journalism is not a crime, and this attack on press freedom cannot stand. The six Matsadaash journalists must be released immediately. My full statement: https://t.co/Wlb4OsiFKn
Great to join the Latin American Business Organization for their 2026 Hispanic Heritage Celebration—a wonderful opportunity to honor the history of our Latino & Hispanic neighbors and celebrate their vibrant culture & immeasurable contributions. Special shoutout to Judge Perez on being the first Latino honoree. His commitment to give back to our community is an inspiration!
