During impeachment, Republicans said “let the voters decide.” Now that the voters have decided and Trump has lost, Republicans are suing to overturn the election. It's clear it was never about the voters, our constitution, or our democracy. Only staying in power.

Let’s make this clear: Donald Trump lost. By a lot. And in defeat, Trump could care less about a worsening pandemic and stalling economy. His efforts to steal the election are a national embarrassment. Worse, they damage our democracy. Trump is the worst president in history.

The idea of congressional oversight is alien to the president, and who can blame him? For two years, the GOP did nothing but shield him from accountability. Those days are over. We will not choose between our legislative and oversight responsibilities. Congress must do both.

The Justice Department cannot take the position that a sitting president can’t be indicted, and at the same time withhold evidence of any wrongdoing. That would amount to immunity. We will do what is necessary to make sure Mueller’s report is made public.

Rep. Adam Schiff tells me he is “absolutely” prepared to sue Trump administration if Mueller report is not made public: “We will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary”

Kevin McCarthy is desperate to keep the support of Trump and his House backers. He’ll do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene and the QAnon caucus wants. And that means following the wishes of the lowest common denominator. Brace yourselves America. The clown car has come to town.

You name it, House and Senate Republicans are opposed to it: COVID relief? Against it. Student debt? That too. Voting rights? They want to make it harder to vote. Climate action? Nope. Getting more people healthcare? Never. What are they for? Nothing but themselves.

McConnell is promising that if he retakes the Senate, he won’t confirm a Biden Supreme Court Justice. Just as he refused with President Obama. Never mind that he forced through the last Trump nominee WHILE PEOPLE WERE VOTING. He must never be allowed to run the Senate again.

President Biden delivered on his promise to cancel student loans, and now a reactionary Supreme Court has overturned it. Fortunately, the administration is going to use other means to deliver relief to borrowers. Let’s break down what they’re doing:

Remember when Republicans said they wouldn't cut Medicare and Medicaid to pay for their #GOPTaxScam ? Well, Trump's budget cuts Medicare by $840 billion and Medicaid by $241 billion. In contrast, Democrats want to expand healthcare for all. The choice couldn't be clearer.

We did not come to Congress to impeach this President. We came to fight for health care, gun reform, voting rights, equal pay. But history called upon us to uphold our oath. And we have. Together, we will emerge from this dark chapter. And make our democracy stronger still.

The #GOPTaxScam increased taxes for 10m Americans, and doubled the number of companies who paid nothing. The majority of corporate savings went to stock buybacks, not workers or investments. And now the GOP wants to cut Medicare and Social Security to pay for it. Some tax day.

Last night, not a single Republican raised their hand when asked whether they believe climate change is caused by humans. Not one. The petroleum industry owns them lock, stock and oil barrel. It’s as pathetic as it is dangerous.

We all knew this was coming. After a massive tax cut for the wealthy that lead to trillion dollar deficits, Trump now says it’s time to look at cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Once again, he wants working Americans to pay the bill for corporations and billionaires.

In 2016, Trump campaigned on saving Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts. Not anymore. Asked in Davos if cuts to welfare programs are on the table he said: "At the right time, we will take a look at that.” w/ @maggieNYT

Can you think of anything less patriotic than diverting taxpayer money for America’s national parks to a one-man vanity show on July 4th? The National Parks Conservation Association called it “A breach of the public trust” Which is the perfect slogan for Trump’s 2020 campaign.

The do-everything House has passed 275 bipartisan bills this year. So if Americans want: ✓Lower prescription drug costs ✓Background checks ✓Voting rights ✓Fair pay ✓Equality ✓Climate action and more, ask Mitch McConnell when the do-nothing Senate is going to act.

Our work #ForThePeople continues. There are more than 275 bipartisan, House-passed bills sitting on @SenateMajLdr McConnell’s desk waiting for a vote in the Senate. And in the coming days, the House will pass legislation to protect voting rights and lower drug costs.

Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution is clear: A president cannot accept any emolument from foreign governments. This means they cannot profit from their job. And yet, that’s exactly what Trump did. $7.8 million during his presidency. Given the chance, Trump will put his…

Happy Anniversary, Eve! We first met when I was living in Venice, CA and got married in Altadena. For our anniversary we took a stroll along Venice beach & retraced our steps along the sand. Muscle beach is fancier now, but the place is hopping & the hulk looks as strong as ever!

BREAKING:  Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just walked off the House floor—after she read the resolution to censure and fine me $16 million. The vote will be in the next 48 hours to distract from Trump’s indictment and retaliate against me for impeaching him. But I’m not backing down.
