.@secrubio cares more about perfecting the office style guide than the hundreds of thousands of people he killed by gutting USAID. https://t.co/3bwT3nrKhg

The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

Reminder that Mike Johnson regularly accepts tons of money from greedy insurance companies and Big Pharma.
Let’s be clear: Democrats’ “affordability” agenda is nothing more than wanting to give MASSIVE handouts to big insurance companies. They broke the health care system and now want taxpayers to subsidize it indefinitely — with NO reforms, NO accountability, and subsidies that even

UPDATE: Next week on the House Floor, I plan to call up for debate my bipartisan resolution, H. Con. Res. 64. The American people deserve a vote in Congress before Trump starts another endless war & U.S. troops are put in harm’s way in Venezuela.
I'm partnering with @RepThomasMassie & @JoaquinCastrotx to introduce a major new War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela. No one except the president and his crazy billionaire backers want this war—so I’m

Hunger is a political condition and shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but for some reason, helping hungry families is a “radical” idea. Cuts to nutrition assistance represent a moral failure of this chaotic & cruel GOP majority.

What we were promised: Trump’s message on affordability. What we got: a creepy man making weird comments about his 28-year-old employee.
Trump on Karoline Leavitt: "That beautiful face and those lips that don't stop like a little machine gun"

Trump wants your kids to ration pencils & dolls while he gets massive ballrooms, luxury jumbo jets, & taxpayer-funded golf trips. What a greedy grinch.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing

Today marks the 77th anniversary of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights—affirming that all people are equal in dignity & rights. Tragically, this administration is rolling back much of the progress we’ve made toward a more just world. My full statement:

🚨NEWS: The Pentagon has never passed an audit, but Congress just voted to give them EVEN MORE than they asked for! With the military’s bloated budget, we could pay for things we ACTUALLY need like food for millions of hungry veterans & seniors. This is not America First.

America’s farmers are hurting because of this administration’s crushing tariffs & trade war. Trump found $40 billion to bail out farmers in Argentina. But his @USDA can’t even find a fraction of that to help the farmers they're screwing over. Shameful. https://t.co/yYvOnBuVFH

President Trump on Monday revealed a $12 billion plan to bail out American farmers.

77 years ago today, Eleanor Roosevelt led passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Last month, Trump deleted human rights from the U.S. National Security Strategy. Our leaders ought to care about moral principles & human rights—not just their own money and power.

I’m back in the Capitol today leading debate on behalf of @HouseDemocrats for the Rules Committee—and instead of doing ANYTHING on affordability, the GOP has us debating more bills with important-sounding titles that do absolutely nothing.

Trump says “don’t be dramatic” when asked about families having to cut back on Christmas presents because his economy sucks. His kids got a gilded playhouse. But he thinks you & yours should learn to live with less.
Trump to holiday shoppers concerned about high prices: "Look, don't be dramatic."

THANK YOU to everyone who joined me last month for the 16th annual #MarchForTheFoodBank. As Trump's disastrous economic policies & cruel cuts to nutrition assistance make hunger in America worse, it's essential that we do all we can to help those in need.

If you want to give people relief, you should push Trump to overturn his tariffs which are crushing America’s farmers, small businesses & consumers. Instead you're applauding him for giving American farmers 1/4th of the money he gave to farmers in Argentina. Give me a break.
I’m grateful that President Trump is providing our farmers with much needed relief. Arkansas farmers and ranchers need this assistance and support to get through to the next season so they can continue growing, harvesting, and operating for generations to come.
