A reporter asked me what Trump was thinking when he fired Kristi Noem. I have NO idea what is going through that man's head—I just know no one will miss her. Two Americans were shot and killed on her watch. We need accountability and reform.

History will remember Kristi Noem for her corruption and the sheer cruelty & chaos she unleashed on our streets. Good riddance, but Congress should not tolerate more of the same from whoever comes next. We need accountability and reform for ICE and Border Patrol.

BREAKING: I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA as Democrats push for common sense reforms to protect Americans from being killed by untrained and masked DHS agents. Guess what? Republicans BLOCKED it.

War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
- PM
I just voted to END Trump's war with Iran. America should not sacrifice the lives of our servicemembers or billions in taxpayer dollars in another forever war. NO WAR.

- PM
Our country does not want more Americans killed because of a reckless President that a Republican Congress refused to check. I just voted to END this war with Iran, and I urge my colleagues to join me.

Trump has no problem sending other people's kids off to war. But you know what he does have a problem with? Picking up the tab when they come home. We don't need a forever war with Iran, we need more nurses and doctors at the VA.

War should be the last resort. Democrats will keep fighting to lowering costs for working families ahead of starting costly, unnecessary wars.

Trump sent our servicemembers into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida. With no clear objectives or any sense of an endgame. And without any authorization from Congress—no public hearings, no justification to the American people. I will vote to end this war.
- PM
Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks. Just never any money for health care or families here at home.
- PM
I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.
- PM
Trump sent our kids into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida. Americans do not want another endless, costly war in the Middle East. They want health care and lower prices.

- PM
Not only is Trump costing taxpayers billions and risking American lives for a war of choice—he has also failed to adequately prepare for the evacuation of American civilians in the region. A disaster and failure of catastrophic consequence.

It is obscene to suggest that we are going to fight Trump's war of choice "FOREVER." Congress must vote to end this immediately. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

There was no immediate threat from Iran, and there is still no clear objective. Congress must immediately vote to end Trump's war with Iran.
- PM
Republicans need to grow a spine and vote with Democrats to put an END to Trump's war with Iran. The American people want Congress to focus on lowering prices. They want their tax dollars going toward health care, not another costly and deadly war in the Middle East.
- PM
No. American soldiers dying in an unjustified war of choice is NOT just "the way it is." This is a disgraceful way to talk about the cost of war. This is no Commander in Chief.

The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets. Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.

If Trump won't rule out boots on the ground, then Congress needs to. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

No war with Iran. There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective. I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.
- PM
My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the servicemembers we’ve lost as well as those who are seriously wounded. The cost of war is real and devastating. I hope my colleagues will keep that in mind.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Our country welcomes a refugee with open arms. He is then wrongfully detained by DHS and dropped off miles from home in the cold of winter. He is blind and doesn't speak English. This was practically a death sentence. Shah Alam's family deserves answers and justice.

Hardworking families are struggling to afford health care and put food on the table thanks to Trump, while he and his family exploit the Oval Office for billions Trump is the most corrupt president in our history—and he and his family are positively gleeful about it.

Trump is rigging the system so the biggest corporations can misclassify workers to block them from getting minimum wage and overtime. It's an outright grift & workers should be furious. Republicans will pass tax breaks for billionaires and then stiff workers for good measure.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state. Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

NEW! From the same clueless Republicans who brought you doubling premiums: $31,000 deductibles. Only an out of touch billionaire would think that counts as affordable.

If you think BIRTH CONTROL pills are “a disrespect of life,” and can’t just say birth control is safe and effective for the overwhelming majority of women with your whole chest, you should NOT be America’s top doctor. I'm voting NO on Casey Means for Surgeon General.
video
- PM
Trump's State of the Union was way too long, but more importantly, it was a reminder that Americans are paying more—literally—thanks to his broken promises. That health care plan? Surging premiums, Medicaid cuts, and hospitals closing. Lowering prices on day one? Look around.

The reality of Trump's "Golden Age" is that the average family is paying $1,700 MORE because of his tariffs. That's a Trump tax we're all living with.

Millions of moms struggle with depression during their pregnancy. America deserves a Surgeon General who can state plainly that SSRIs are SAFE for the majority of pregnant women. We don't need more junk science charlatans. I'm voting NO on Casey Means' confirmation.

Well, now that we've gotten through THAT, here's the truth: This is America and no matter what Trump wants you to believe, the power belongs to the PEOPLE. A more hopeful future for America is possible when we all speak out and stand up for what we believe in.

Trump announcing a war on fraud is like a criminal announcing a war on crime.

Trump didn’t “lift” anyone off food stamps—he kicked them off. He’s forcing millions to go hungry. By the way, you can work full time and STILL qualify for SNAP. My family needed SNAP growing up—it’s not charity, it’s an investment. Fund SNAP. Reverse the cuts.

Yeah Trump kept his promise to “drill baby drill.” He also kept his promise to sell this country out to Big Oil. Cancelling clean energy projects for NO reason and SPIKING your electricity costs. Utility bills are way UP because of this grifter President.

Trump is making life worse and more expensive for the American people, defying Congress at every turn, and spitting in the face of the law—I won’t be sitting through his SOTU. But you can bet, I’ll be listening—I’ll be ready to respond to the lies and set the record straight.

I won’t dignify Trump’s lies by sitting through his State of the Union. Instead, I’m 🚨LIVE 🚨right now, delivering my own address to WA state, calling out his failures and sharing a more hopeful vision for our country's future. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

These are serious allegations and the truth must come out. The American people deserve nothing less than transparency and accountability. The DOJ must do its job and release the FULL files.

Tonight, Trump is going to give his State of the Union—but that’s not what he’ll focus on. He is going to talk about his favorite subject—himself. You won't find me there. But I WILL be addressing WA state directly: laying out exactly how Trump has failed us. Watch.

The Trump administration is purposely ripping away the ability for pregnant children to get the health care they need. Think about that—CHILDREN. Many who are victims of rape. This is sick and the American people deserve answers.

Four years ago, Putin launched a deadly, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine, and the continued horror inflicted on the Ukrainian people is barbaric. I will keep working to ensure Ukraine has the support needed to defend itself and win back peace and security.

Global Entry uses automated kiosks to save staff capacity & expedite processing. Is Kristi Noem forcing employees to unplug kiosks & MANUALLY process passengers? Truly as dumb as it gets. Instead of punishing travelers, Trump should focus on negotiating urgent ICE reforms.

How much did our grifter FBI Director spend on travel, security, and accommodations to party in Italy on the taxpayer dime? Waste, fraud, and abuse—the call was always coming from inside the house.

Tomorrow, Trump is going to ramble & lie to the country. I'm not dignifying that, so I'm NOT attending SOTU. But I'll be addressing WA state myself—TOMORROW at 3:15 pm PST. Health care is way too expensive. ICE is out of control. We can chart a better way forward. Tune in.

Took no time for Trump to strap the rest of us back onto the Tariff rollercoaster: higher prices for everyone in the meantime. Still, he owes you a refund for his illegal tariffs, and Republicans in Congress can help us put an end to these tariffs any day.

Republicans literally cut Medicaid so that giant corporations could pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter. That’s not fair, and it’s not fiscally responsible either. Our taxpayer dollars SHOULD be going toward things like health care—not tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump thought he could quietly put in place a near-total abortion ban for our veterans—but not on my watch. The VA rule is a betrayal of women who have put their lives on the line for our country. I'm demanding the VA reverse course ASAP. plus.cq.com/doc/news-840...

High health care costs are hurting our small businesses. Republicans control Congress—if they wanted to make your health care more affordable, they could. They just don't want to.

Trump's policies are making it more expensive to get by while lining the pockets of billionaires and giant corporations. Tune in ahead of the State of the Union to hear how Trump has failed working Americans and how Democrats are fighting for a more hopeful future for America.
