My statement on the passing of my dear friend, Congressman Eliot Engel:
A headline from NYT reads: Forest Service Will Close Research Stations That Study Wildfire Risk
Trump’s own agencies are predicting a dangerous wildfire season.
His response?
Undermine the lead agency tasked with assessing that risk.
Why does he hate our country and our public lands so much?
Trump is a military moron.
His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it.
And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.
This is an extremely sick person.
Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is.

Hundreds of billions more for war around the world, but we ‘can’t afford’ healthcare and childcare here at home?
A complete betrayal of everything Trump campaigned on in 2024.
What changed POTUS?

My Statement on Trump’s Budget: It’s Rotten to the Core
Dems held the line: fund DHS, not ICE abuses. We passed a bipartisan deal through the Senate unanimously. Twice.
Then Mike Johnson flip-flopped and blocked it.
I went on @cnn.com to lay out the facts:
Chag Pesach Sameach!
Wishing our amazing Jewish community in New York and around the world a restful, meaningful, and joyous Passover filled with friends and family.
A headline from The New York Times reads: Senate and House Republicans Strike Deal to End Homeland Security Shutdown
NEWS: House Republicans caved.
They’ve agreed to pass the Senate bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP that unanimously passed a week ago.
One second, Trump is the “Peace President.” The next, he’s dragged us into war.
And his address tonight? It doesn’t matter. His words are meaningless—he says what’s convenient, then does the opposite.
This is how you burn trust, risk lives, and lead our country into chaos.
$4 gas brought to you by Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their America Last coalition.
A 60 day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it.
We’ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions, but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms.
After weeks of negotiations, Republicans caved to our demands to fund DHS without a blank check for ICE and CBP.
My full statement below:
Trump promised lower energy bills. Instead, they skyrocketed.
Democrats’ plan to bring them down:
1. Build more clean energy
2. Cut delays — not protections
3. Fix the grid
4. Make data centers pay their fair share
5. Protect consumers

If Republicans want to shove the SAVE Act into reconciliation, then have at it.
Democrats will fight it tooth and nail, every step of the way. They're going to find it very difficult to jam these massive changes to the American election system.
Today, for the TENTH TIME, Democrats will go to the floor to demand that we pay TSA immediately.
And for the TENTH TIME, Republicans will have a chance to join us. I’m not holding my breath.
Senate Republicans have now blocked TSA funding 9 times.
They are solely responsible for the chaos travelers are experiencing.
We welcome them to join Democrats at the table any time to fund TSA and restore order to our airports.
ICE needs to leave the airports NOW.
Trump needs to pay TSA workers NOW, and push Republicans to reach a deal.
No intimidation forces at our airports. No more chaos at checkpoints.
Enough is enough.
The MAGA Voter ID provision is a cover up to the SAVE Act’s core voter suppression provisions.
Let’s be clear: this bill and this provision are about purging millions of Americans from the voter rolls to tip the scales for a flailing Donald Trump.
A month ago, the national price of gasoline as $2.93 a gallon.
Today it's $3.94.
One man is to blame: Donald Trump.
ICE must change its violent ways. The last thing Americans want is ICE detaining passengers at airports and making things worse.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best: Fund TSA, rein in ICE, and move our country in the right direction.
Donald Trump is tying himself in a triple knot.
1. Refusing to fund TSA and causing chaos at our airports
2. Starting a reckless war of choice in Iran
3. Pushing a voter suppression bill to disenfranchise over 20 million American citizens
And each day he ties the knot tighter.
NEWS: Republican Leader John Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans would finally join Senate Democrats to support funding all of DHS except ICE.
Donald Trump said no.
This shutdown is on him alone.
Even some Republican Senators are openly admitting they have no clue what the Administration is trying to accomplish in the Middle East.
Enough is enough. End this war.
Instead of sending ICE agents to harass travelers at airports, why don’t Republicans get their act together and agree to pay TSA workers like we’ve asked them to SEVEN TIMES now?
ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA.
This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times.
They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.
The cruelty is the point. Trump’s goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files. Don’t give him what he wants.
And may Robert Mueller, a US Marine and lifelong public servant, rest in peace.
BREAKING: I’m bringing a motion to the floor to FULLY FUND TSA.
Republicans Senators will be forced on the record: they can either vote to fund TSA for good or be fully responsible for its continued shutdown.
