This agency is so beyond out of control. Yet another example of why I'm voting NO on funding for ICE and DHS today, and fighting to impeach Kristi Noem.

Trump's attempt to illegally fire Fed Governor Dr. Lisa Cook is a power grab. It's all part of his continued quest to seize control of our central bank.
As the Supreme Court heard Dr. Cook's case today, I joined my @ushousefsc.bsky.social colleagues to stand up for the Fed's independence.

It's absolutely outrageous that the DOJ has threatened Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a criminal indictment. These threats from Trump represent a total assault on the Fed's independence - something that is critical to the health of our economy. It must end.

Corrupt and baseless. Fed Chair Powell hasn't bent to Trump's will and now the DOJ is out to punish him for it. I'm calling for an end to this sham probe and an immediate investigation into the DOJ's inquiry. Additionally, the Senate must refuse to move any Trump Fed nominee.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
