‘Cowardice’: ICE shoots people in the back and investigates itself
September 23, 2026
ICE shot Alex Pretti in the back. A few days ago, they shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in the back. Wilber remains in custody with the bullet still lodged near his spine. DHS is still trying to deport him. ALL of these shootings demand full, independent investigations. Justice for Johan. Alex. Renée. Ruben. Lorenzo. Wilber. And the countless others whose lives have been destroyed by ICE—while their families were left to pick up the pieces.

Trump steals NPS fees for DC park renovations, closes off access to public
September 16, 2026
It’s a lovely morning in DC and a great time for a stroll through the beautiful Lafayette Park. Oh wait, I can’t get in without a special pass or an appointment! And Trump wants to make this fence *permanent*! Worst of all, the renovations (which actually look very nice) were stolen from NPS entrance fees. A public park, renovated with public money—and off limits to the public. Ridiculous.

Trump tries to buy votes with flagrantly illegal $5,000 “Trump Dividend” plan
September 10, 2026
Trump is actually trying to PAY for votes now. It’s flagrantly illegal and pathetically desperate. What he’s proposing would cost ~$1.3 TRILLION—which would explode the deficit and almost certainly worsen inflation. Notice how he’s not even trying to hide his illegal scheme? He is flaunting it, because he knows Republicans will let him get away with it. Fortunately, just like his “DOGE dividend checks” and “tariff rebate checks,” this will likely NEVER happen. DON’T FALL FOR HIS BULLSHIT!

Trump continues his war on mail-in voting despite voting by mail himself
September 4, 2026
The Constitution is clear: elections are run by the STATES—not the federal government, and most certainly NOT by Donald Trump. They’re so worried about losing power that they’ll do anything to create chaos and undermine the integrity of our elections. Every eligible voter must be heard. Every valid ballot must be counted.

Trump makes another corrupt backroom deal
September 2, 2026
JBS’s owners gave $5 million to Trump’s inauguration. Then a JBS co-owner gets a private Oval Office meeting, and the very next day Trump announces a plan to suspend tariffs on 300,000 metric tons of imported beef. Come on. Flooding the market with foreign beef is a slap in the face to American farmers and ranchers. It won’t fix the underlying problems driving grocery prices, and it sure looks like the people who benefit most are the ones with millions to spend buying access.

Republicans push messaging bills over real action to lower costs
August 31, 2026
Headed back to Washington, where I hope we’ll reach an agreement this week to fund the government and avoid another shutdown before the election. But Republicans are prioritizing their usual messaging bills over serious action to lower the cost of gas, groceries, and health care; address the disastrous war in Iran; confront Russia’s continued war against Ukraine; and end Trump’s latest trade war with Canada, which is driving costs even higher. We’re not even back yet, and they’re reportedly alre...

Trump is not “America first”
August 30, 2026
Trump loves to tout “America First”—but importing 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef while gutting USDA and abandoning small- and medium-sized American farmers is anything but. I joined @JacobSoboroff on @msnow to explain how the Trump administration’s agriculture policies are a slap in the face to American farmers.

If Trump wants to support American beef, pass the PRIME Act!
August 28, 2026
Trump’s plan to import 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef was a slap in the face to American farmers. Now he wants credit for ideas @RepThomasMassie and I have championed for more than a decade. We’ll see whether his administration follows these posts with action—or whether it’s just more talk. It’s past time to take on Big Meat and support our local producers. Pass the bipartisan PRIME Act and the Strengthening Local Processing Act!

Trump embarrasses America again in latest Trade War escalation with Canada
August 27, 2026
Hey, genius: Guess where the name “Ontario” came from in the first place? Native AMERICANS. The Canadian province is named after the lake! This EO is beyond absurd. To him, it’s all a game. But real livelihoods are at stake. Businesses. Our economy. Costs are through the roof already because of his *other* war, and his tariffs have only made things worse. NO ONE wins in a trade war. Renaming a lake will not help lower costs. And it certainly will not help repair the damage he has done to our rel...
