Trump has been played over and over again by Putin.

From the summit in Alaska, to the 28-point plan that was a Trojan Horse for Putin's demands, to today — he has betrayed the cause of freedom in Ukraine.

We all want peace. He is prolonging the war and the suffering.

We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

We can’t forget that Trump once called members of our military "suckers" & "losers.” So, let’s be honest: he’s attempting to use our military as his personal political pawns and believes they owe loyalty to him and not to our Constitution and our country.

Across America, families are having to cut back on their Thanksgiving dinners because prices are simply too high.

When Trump & his White House try to lecture & gaslight us about how costs are coming down, do not fall for their con — believe your own eyes.

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months.

He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten.

America needs to secure his release NOW.

The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it.

Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.

Trump and Congressional Republicans have a little over a month to diffuse the health care time bomb they left ticking on American families.

If these tax credits expire, it will spike health care costs for everyone — whether you’re on the ACA or not.

Week 4 of the shutdown. Federal workers unpaid. A looming health care crisis.

And Trump? He's talking to everyone BUT Democrats —sending billions of taxpayer dollars to his buddy in Argentina and negotiating in the Middle East while refusing to reopen his own government.

Insane.

Kings and dictators thrive when everyday people stay silent and look the other way.
 
Yesterday, millions of Americans — including these fired-up Marylanders in Towson — stood up and said:
 
We will not be silent. We will not look away. NO KINGS.

Trump and his cronies spread all sorts of lies about yesterday's No Kings Day protests.

I'll tell you what I saw from these folks in Columbia and throughout Maryland — Americans of all ages gathering peacefully to deliver a simple message: In America, we don't bow down to kings.

Presidents and governors shouldn't be able to deploy National Guard troops from one state to another if that state's governor objects.

That is common sense, and yet Republicans just blocked my amendment to stop this blatant abuse of power. Another shameful abdication of duty.
