My Republican colleagues like to say they are pro-defense, pro-patriot, pro-America, and pro-flag.
If that's true, then stand up for our uniformed military officers who served 30 years. Don't let them go down in flames because you are scared.

Mich should be so proud to have another very intelligent Honorable Senator to say the least. 👍 #MiThumbsUp to #EdTheUnEdUSA 🇺🇸

Kristi Noem needs to resign, be fired, or be impeached. Honored to stand with over 350 neighbors in Woodland to raise our voices. Proud to be one of the first to sign onto Kristi Noem’s articles of impeachment, and will keep fighting to prevent ICE from receiving another dime.

Moved by the patriots in Minneapolis protesting in defense of their neighbors and our Constitutional rights, The Boss used his gifts to spread their inspiration. A beautiful tribute to Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and all freedom-loving Americans.

Trump sent federal agents into Minnesota to create chaos and unrest, and as a result two people are dead.
Instead of bringing the heat down, the Admin is attempting to smear an ICU nurse as an ‘assassin’ and ‘domestic terrorist.’
That doesn’t change what we saw. Believe your eyes, not their lies.

Sen. Gallego: Two American citizens were gunned down and murdered by federal agents. Until we start rectifying the situation, I cannot vote for funding for an organization that's going to continue killing Americans.

Two Minnesotans—Renee Good, a devoted mother of three, and Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who served our veterans—are gone, killed by federal agents.
The Trump Administration is trying to block fair, transparent investigations into their deaths. We need justice and cannot let anyone hide the truth.

Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.
This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

We’ll say it again, ICE is terrorizing our communities. ICE is making us all less safe, less secure, and they are hurting and killing people in our streets.
Senate Democrats MUST BLOCK ICE FUNDING this week. Please call your U.S. Senators (202) 224-3121 📞

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

Tonight the Convicted FElon gave a Primetime speech which I'm so glad I didn't watch or listen to. From what I have heard so far it was a total disaster. Massive lies, racism & rambling throughout. When will people wake up & get this FElon out?

Congress is in session for its final week before ACA tax credits expire. These credits help families afford healthcare.
Republicans have no plan to save healthcare, but @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social and I are ready to act. Will my House GOP colleagues join us?
