Billionaires like Elon Musk are spending gobs of money to elect candidates who can then turn around & funnel your taxpayer dollars to those same billionaires’ companies. @reprobertgarcia & I have a bill to close this corrupt campaign cash-for-contracts loophole.
The American people deserve the truth.
New New York Times reporting shows US Embassy officials in Israel are blocking info from Congress on the killings of Americans in the West Bank. I'm calling on Senator Risch & the Foreign Relations Committee to hold a hearing into this coverup. The American people deserve the truth.
After Trump's pool guy screwed up the reflecting pool renovation, Trump tried to frame David Hearn.

He's lucky he was even allowed into our country.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's lies about @NYCMayor don't change the fact that Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal who has blocked justice for Americans killed on his watch. If there's anyone who should be shamed & ashamed, it's him. He's lucky he was even allowed into our country.
America is a nation of immigrants.
Nowhere is Trump's lie that he would focus only on the 'worst of the worst' clearer than his assault on TPS. TPS holders are here legally, they’re vetted, & they contribute to our communities. America is a nation of immigrants. Trump's attacks on them are cruel & un-American.
The ongoing AI threat has been enabled by political corruption.

Trump’s turned the White House into a pay-to-play casino.

Trump’s war in Iran has been one blunder after another & Americans are paying the price.
Trump’s war in Iran has been one blunder after another & Americans are paying the price. This war has now taken the lives of 18 US service members & left over 700 wounded. Here at home, costs are rising from the gas station to the grocery store. It’s past time to END THIS WAR.
Trump’s cronies are lining their own pockets while Americans face the costs at home.
Trump’s cronies are cutting deals left and right for themselves & their families, but when it comes to negotiating an end to this disastrous war, they’re clueless. Once again this corrupt Administration is lining their own pockets while Americans face the costs at home.
