    Merry Christmas from Donald Trump. He’s putting a government under the Christmas tree.

    Last Friday, a partisan judge in Texas handed down a ruling that could dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Let’s be very clear about what’s at stake if this dangerous decision is upheld – and why it’s so important that we fight back →

    Six years ago, the community was torn apart by gunfire. The lives of those who lost their precious loved ones that day were changed forever – why have our laws stayed the same? We owe it to every victim of to act now.

    The GOP’s shameless is EXACTLY why the agenda will focus on ending self-dealing and making sure Washington works for working people, not politicians’ pocketbooks.

    EXCLUSIVE: Armed Services Chair James Inhofe bought 50k-100k in Raytheon stock days after pushing for record Pentagon budget. asked his office about it today. He dropped the stock soon thereafter.

    Students, parents, teachers, and Betsy DeVos’ own employees all agree: she gets a big, fat “F” for her performance as Secretary of Education.

    Meanwhile, House Republicans just voted to block a vote to end our involvement in the war in Yemen. Children are dying. They can’t afford Republican indifference. “The 115th Congress can’t end soon enough” Part 2.

    The news from Yemen gets more and more terrible. This week's updates: 1. It's getting worse. November's casualty numbers were highest of the entire war. 2. Surprise! We never billed the Saudis for the mid-air refueling. U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for their war.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the Grand Old Party! The homophobic, sexist, retrograde blog posts aren't the only reason this hearing was a terrible idea. It should never have existed in the first place. The 115th Congress can’t end soon enough.

    Wow. House Republicans were set to hold a hearing today to trash the minimum wage. Now Politico is reporting the hearing was postponed because homophobic blog posts by one of the GOP witnesses came to light -- calling to "tax and regulate homosexual acts."

    House Democrats, the U.S. Congress, and most importantly the American people, are lucky to have my friend on our side.

    Nancy Pelosi just did something that not a single Republican has had the guts to do in 2 years. Stand up to Trump, in public, to his face.

    The internet is an essential tool for education, business, innovation, and free speech. Without rules, ISPs can slow content and raise prices on our internet access. We must ACT NOW to restore !

    For 8 years Republicans have held a majority in the Committee & have completely ignored Democratic demands to address climate change. I look forward to working w/ my friend to craft a bold agenda to combat carbon emissions and climate change head on.

    Yesterday’s report is damning and clear. It demonstrates yet again the urgency with which we must face the climate crisis.

    When the GOP gave obscene tax cuts to corporations last year, they *promised* the savings would trickle-down to workers. No one believed them then, and we certainly don’t believe it now. GM workers and all Americans deserve tax policies

    The IDF deserve praise for detecting these tunnels along the Israeli-Lebanese border and I support their efforts to destroy them. Escalating tensions building up in the region must be addressed seriously & diplomatically to prevent widespread bloodshed. I am praying for peace.

    Hezbollah’s attempt to infiltrate Israeli territory with tunnels is a concerning and sobering reminder than Israel’s security cannot be taken for granted.
