The Iranian government's attacks on peaceful protesters are horrific. I stand with the Iranian people taking to the streets to peacefully demand a better future for their country. And I stand against Trump using these protests as pretext for another reckless attack. Bombs do

This is your daily reminder that Republicans in Congress voted to kick 17 million Americans off health insurance to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

.@USProgressives press conference on our official position to hold ICE accountable. We will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any appropriations bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices.

Decades after being bombed by the KKK, a Jackson, Mississippi synagogue was lit on fire. My thoughts are with Mississippi's Jewish community. Antisemitism anywhere is a threat to the fundamental rights of all Americans.

It should be illegal for companies to use AI to jack up your prices based on your personal data. Congress should pass my bill to ban surveillance pricing ��� before it becomes an even bigger problem.
Big/bad news for consumers. Google is out today with an announcement of how they plan to integrate shopping into their AI offerings including search and Gemini. The plan includes “personalized upselling.” I.e. Analyzing your chat data and using it to overcharge you. 1/2

Kristi Noem started the new year by firing even more FEMA employees. Noem is dismantling our country’s ability to respond to disasters. Texans have already been hurt, and her recklessness will cost more lives. I joined @RepJoeNeguse demanding she reverse these cuts.

Your electric bills are rising... and AI data centers are a major reason why. While AI innovation is promising, we must ensure it's not happening at the expense of our communities. That’s why we’re taking action to fix the system, so these data centers - not our families - are

Kristi Noem: -- Sent ICE to terrorize American cities, where they have shot and killed people. -- Fired thousands of public servants at FEMA and delayed search and rescue operations in Texas by 72 hours. -- Funneled $172 million for private jets for herself. She's a disaster.

Here are two numbers you need to know today. Trump is now talking about spending $500 billion for Greenland. While 17 million Americans are about to lose health care because Republicans cut funding. Crazy.

We need a peace movement in America. We need safety and prosperity for people -- not wars to enrich Donald Trump's donors.

Yesterday, Trump announced he wants to channel Venezuela's oil money into a slush fund for himself. Hell no.

Today ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. Horrific. Trump's reckless mass deportation policies are terrorizing American cities and endangering everyone -- immigrants and U.S. Citizens alike. The chaos and terror must end.

Trump says "we're going to run Venezuela." In recent history, we've tried "running" multiple countries in Latin America and the Middle East. It's been a disaster for us, and for them, every single time. Congress must pass a War Powers resolution to get our military back to
