Well. The president is posting more insane AI videos while his shutdown heads into week 4. And 24 million Americans are about to see their health care premiums double or triple. He is unhinged beyond comprehension.

Karoline Leavitt tried to convince America that No Kings would be full of criminals. Today, 7 million people proved she’s a liar. My parents fled an authoritarian regime where dissent was punished & fear ruled. We’re fighting for the same freedom they risked everything to find.

As the youngest woman in Congress, I know who pays the price when the government fails: we do. Women. While Trump and Republicans take vacations, we’re here fighting to reopen the government and protect our healthcare.

Live on @MSNBC from Phoenix where people showed up to say: no kings, no dictators, and no ICE terrorizing our communities. This is what democracy looks like and it’s the best of America.

7 million people marched today — the biggest protest in U.S. history. Donald Trump isn’t a strongman. He’s the weakest, most unpopular president we’ve ever had. Don’t let anyone forget it.

Here in Phoenix with Attorney General @krismayes and thousands of Arizonans to say loudly and clearly: there are no Kings in America. This is what democracy looks like. This is how we fight authoritarianism.

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

Citizens United. Janus. Dobbs. These are Supreme Court decisions that shredded the rights of everyday Americans to do the bidding of the powerful few. Now, we should all learn about Callais — a case that was just heard this week, where SCOTUS could essentially undo the Voting
We must listen to my colleagues @RepTroyCarter and @RepFields as the conservative SCOTUS majority looks to put the final nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act. This landmark law is a reminder that democracy belongs to everyone in our country. https://t.co/4MyEsEbI9E

I was in that interview with Alex Acosta—what I heard was deflection, not truth. The Oversight Committee, with Speaker Mike Johnson present, heard a survivor testify that Epstein abused girls while in jail. The cover-up has gone on long enough. Release the full Epstein files.

To everyone joining a No Kings rally tomorrow: The Trump regime is trying to spin our movement as hateful or violent. That’s what authoritarians do when they fear people power. Don’t give them what they want. Keep it peaceful, safe, and joyful. I’ll see you out there!

I’ll be on @kaitlancollins tonight to discuss this critical step toward accountability—and once again call on @SpeakerJohnson to stop the Trump White House’s cover-up of the Epstein files and swear in @AdelitaforAZ.

I called my constituents to hear directly how the Trump and Republican health care crisis and government shutdown are hurting our community. They have a few thoughts for @SpeakerJohnson.

Karoline Leavitt is doing what every authoritarian mouthpiece does: trying to scare people into silence. We won’t let her. Tomorrow, we show up—because there are no kings in America. 👉

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power...
Karoline Leavitt says every American joining in the No Kings Protest tomorrow is a criminal, but she's lying and trying to incite violence. @RepJeffries said the truth: Karoline Leavitt is a DISGRACE.

Mike Johnson clearly doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. Arizona’s Attorney General @krismayes has sued Trump 25 times—and she keeps winning, protecting $1.5BN for Arizona. Good luck, Mike…
Q: Jeffries said to expect swift legal action if Adelita Grijalva isn't sworn in today. Your reaction? MIKE JOHNSON: It's a publicity stunt by a Democratic AG who sees a national moment and wants to call me out

Eliminating backpay for federal employees is another attempt by Trump to demoralize and bully the federal workforce. I'm calling on @russvought to actually follow the law and ensure furloughed employees get backpay.
