I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.

Read my full letter to my colleagues here:

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together.

It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.

This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.

We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.

We will rally every corner of the U.S.

We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today.

I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.

While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.
