Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He's responsible for killing over 150,000 Ukrainians — including more than 15,000 civilians — and the murder of political opponents & dissidents. Witkoff & Trump's bootlicking is an embarrassment to our country.

With so much grift in the Trump admin it's hard to keep track of who is selling pardons, who is selling access, and who is buying it all. When the wealthy can buy their own laws & subvert justice it reveals a completely corrupt and rigged system.
Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all. If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump…
When push comes to shove, Trump would rather you lose power than the data center companies lose a cent of profit. Clearly, this admin & FERC are not protecting consumers. Congress must pass my Power for the People Act, to ensure that your power needs are put…
Eight days ago, less than a month before an election, Trump's DOJ raided @repilhan.bsky.social’s home in what we know is a fascistic attempt to denaturalize & deport her. We cannot become numb to these blatant abuses of power. Failure to call this for what it…
SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the…
Another day, another wildly corrupt plot that would shock the country under any other administration. Trump & his rich friends have turned the federal govt into a pay-to-play scheme — exchanging millions of dollars for favors & selling access to foreign…

Trump kicked millions off their healthcare & caused back-to-back double-digit spikes in ACA premiums — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Your healthcare shouldn't be at the whim of Republicans, corporate middlemen, or the billionaire class. We need…
They started the Iran war together. They crack down on press freedom together. They lie about everything together. Authoritarians of a feather flock together.
Trump started an illegal war, prices are through the roof, Americans are hurting, & yet he lays awake thinking about how to screw our DC neighbors & take over their public parks. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.
