Donald Trump is a weak man.
Strong leaders take tough questions. Weak ones ban the reporters asking them.
CNN, MSNOW, and Politico aren't the problem. A corrupt, soft President who's terrified of scrutiny is.
Trump: I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them "alive." Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant "reporting" FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they're covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.

It’s a very different economy when your last name is Trump.
While you’re paying more for groceries, health care and gas, the Trump family gets weddings bankrolled by Russian oligarchs.
For the Trump family, corruption pays.

Families across America are paying more for groceries, gas, housing, & everyday essentials.
After months of attacks on the federal workforce, Trump now wants to freeze federal workers’ pay.
That’s an effective pay cut.
Our Federal Workforce Caucus is fighting back.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s terribly flawed voter database as voting is underway.
In Texas, it falsely flagged 578 U.S. citizens as potential noncitizens—making it harder to vote.
No American should have to fight a federal database error to keep their vote.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can deploy an expansive voter identification tool, allowing states to hunt for ineligible voters. Critics fear using the system could result in the purging valid voters from state rolls. nyti.ms/3TsCnVE

$1.8 BILLION. That’s what @JECDems estimates Trump’s vanity projects will cost.
That same money could cover a month of electric bills for 12M people, a year of medical expenses for 88,000 veterans, or 600M school lunches.
Trump's ego is expensive.

Trump didn’t show up to his own son’s wedding. But a Putin-linked Russian oligarch did.
And this isn’t just any oligarch. Kremlev has deep ties to a group accused of helping abduct Ukrainian children.
So why was he there, and why did he spend hundreds of thousands on the president’s son?

Donald Trump talks a big game for a man so terrified of tough questions that he’s trying to keep journalists out of the White House.
You don’t get to silence the press because you don’t like the coverage.
That’s not strength. That’s weakness.
Breaking news: A federal judge has ordered that access to the White House be temporarily restored for reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico after they were banned by President Trump, but this morning some journalists from the outlets were denied entry. wapo.st/4dSzpR6

123 children were killed in a U.S. strike on their school.
Months later, the Pentagon still hasn’t released its investigation into the catastrophic failures that led to it.
Secretary Hegseth must be removed or impeached immediately.

Federal workers have been asked to do more with less for far too long. After DOGE, mass firings, and a raise that failed to keep pace with rising costs, Trump now wants to freeze their pay entirely.
As co-chair of the Federal Workforce Caucus, I stood with @RepStenyHoyer, @ChrisVanHollen, & leaders from @AFGENational, @NTEUNews, @NFFE_Union, & @IFPTE today to demand that Congress reject Trump’s federal worker pay freeze.

The Trump admin has spent the last two years taking health care away from working families.
Now JD Vance says he is canceling ACA coverage for 760,000 people, without providing evidence of the fraud he cites.
Their actions keep making the same point: your health care and your costs are not their priority.
Exclusive: Vice President JD Vance’s antifraud task force is set to remove hundreds of thousands people from the Affordable Care Act’s public exchanges, saying those enrollees don’t meet eligibility requirements or don’t exist at all on.wsj.com/4dSTFSH

Making government work requires the right talent and the right technology.
I appreciated the chance to visit Maximus and spend time with employees for a town hall. Thank you for the thoughtful questions and honest conversation.

Governor Spanberger is absolutely right.
Congress must act to address the very serious cyber security and safety risks posed by advanced AI, while ensuring that it’s further development benefits the American people.
The impacts of AI are too great to leave its regulation solely in the hands of private companies, especially when their CEOs are also sounding the alarm on the significant risks presented by their own technologies.
That’s why I am urging U.S. congressional leadership to take immediate action to confront the unprecedented risks posed by the rapid development of AI.

Zero. That's the raise Trump wants to give federal workers. With inflation at 3.4%, that's a pay cut.
The Federal Workforce Caucus led a coalition of 110 lawmakers pushing Congress to deliver a 4.1% raise.
Congress has the power to stop Trump’s pay freeze. It’s time to act.

Trump's reckless war with Iran needs to end.
American families have paid an extra $699 at the pump since it started, and our service members are still in harm's way.
End the war. Reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Bring gas prices down. Bring our troops home.

There are two economies in Trump’s America.
One where prices rise and your paycheck doesn’t keep up. And another where a Russian oligarch bankrolls your wedding and the taxpayers help finance your family’s foreign investments.
That’s the corruption we’re fighting.

BREAKING: A bipartisan group of 110 lawmakers is urging congressional leaders to reject President Trump’s proposed 2027 civilian federal pay freeze.
Instead, they want to provide civilian federal employees with at least a 3.8% raise.💰 @Rep_Walkinshaw

Cyber threats are getting more sophisticated. But the Trump Admin has fired, sidelined, or pushed out nearly 1,000 CISA employees, roughly a third of its workforce.
I introduced a bill with @BennieGThompson & @RepDeliaRamirez to identify gaps & strengthen our cyber defenses.
