Finally! God Bless the @CapitolPolice and all who defended our republic from the violent mob on that dark day January 6, 2021 🇺🇸
Scoop: Overnight, the plaque honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6 was finally installed, following years of delay. I know because I was there, watching at 4 a.m. as two employees working a nightshift bolted it to the granite wall. https://t.co/hT8WmJkZ3v

Access to high quality, affordable education is paramount for our communities to thrive. Today, I was proud to speak at the 19th annual BBCB summit — an event that left me feeling inspired by the next generation of leaders.

In the 13 months since Trump took office, the economy has created a net total of 198,000 jobs compared with 1.4 million created in the last 13 months of the Biden administration.
Employers cut 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% as the labor market continues to weaken after an anemic year of job growth. @melbournecoal

This disappointing jobs survey was taken BEFORE Trump’s war. Trump cut health care and energy savings + inflicted higher prices w tariffs, then turned around launched a billion $ war in Iran. He found money for bombs but not your groceries, electric bills or doctor's visits!
Breaking: In an unexpected downturn, the U.S. lost 92,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%.

Kristi Noem made America less safe. She violated Americans’ rights, terrorized communities and burned through hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on luxury travel and vanity projects. Her firing is long overdue. Good riddance.

This week, House Democrats will force a vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s lawlessness and demand answers for the American public about his illegal war with Iran.

Tariffs are a hidden tax on Tampa Bay families and small businesses. I’m focused on lowering costs—not political stunts that make life more expensive for you.

The American people have repeatedly rejected the idea of another “forever war.” History shows that the consequences of entering conflicts without defined objectives or a realistic plan to conclude them cost our nation dearly.

Families are still feeling the squeeze at the grocery store, at the pump, and at home. Trump may have stopped calling the real pain of American families a hoax, but he has still done nothing to bring costs down. Lowering costs shouldn’t be a slogan; it should be the mission.

Health care premiums skyrocketing from less than $300 to over $3,000 a month. That’s Linda Misner’s reality. She’s joining me at the State of the Union tonight to demand that President Trump and Congressional Republicans lower costs for Americans instead of giving more handouts

News flash for Don the con: Healthcare costs are higher than ever because you refused to extend the tax credits that would have prevented premiums from soaring. People's premiums doubled and tripled because you failed to act.

A Trump health official turned industry analyst called Trump's drug deals "a win" for pharma and "a clearing event" — meaning the industry got off easy. Trump didn't fight Big Pharma. He caved.

Trump’s first year in office has left America in a state of chaos. Trump’s tariffs made life MORE expensive. Trump and Republicans CUT health care and allowed monthly premiums to increase for MILLIONS. Trump and Republicans are failing the American people.

When Trump looks out across the House chamber tonight during his State of the Union address, he'll be facing lots of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.

Some will bring guests to spotlight Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses and ICE violence. Others will boycott the president's speech entirely.

Over a year in, Trump’s presidency is a disaster—higher costs from his tariffs, the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, and a $75B slush fund for ICE to brutalize communities. You deserve better. House Democrats are fighting to lower costs, protect health care, and rein in this
