RFK Jr. is a disaster for the health of Americans.

TAKANO: Should Trump fail a mental fitness test, would you vote to invoke the 25th amendment?

RFK Jr: There hasn't been a president who is more sane--

TAKANO: Reclaiming my time. Would you invoke the 25th amendment?

RFK Jr: President Trump is the most stable--

TAKANO: Apparently not

"Millions of Americans are wondering if this president is delusional and thinks he's Jesus Christ" -- Brilliant line of questioning here from Rep. Takano to RFK Jr about Trump's nutso social media posts and what it says about his mental health

Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners.

RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social had an amendment that would have protected a program keeping veterans in their homes, but republicans voted it down. This administration is spending billions on war abroad while families, like the Ledfords, face foreclosure here at home.

🧵Last week, @repmarktakano.bsky.social held a roundtable on veterans' fertility care & IVF access. Alex, an Air Force veteran, shared her story of nearly losing her fertility and her life after she was unable to receive timely reproductive healthcare while serving our nation.

Republicans always find money for wars, but never to invest in Americans.

The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs exists to hold VA accountable and deliver results for those who served—our nation's veterans. The mission is the veteran, and we must not lose sight of that.

Republicans are inflicting pain on Americans because they fail to see an issue with ICE and its recklessness. I stand ready to do both: pay TSA and other workers while reining in ICE.

I'm signing onto a measure that gets TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA their paychecks while we work to rein in ICE.

RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social released the following statement following Judge Melissa DuBose's decision to grant AFGE/NVAC's motion for a preliminary injunction against VA's termination of its collective bargaining agreements. Secretary Collins must immediately reinstate all unions at VA.

ICYMI: The last three weeks, the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs welcomed our VSO partners to share their 2026 priorities. RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social was honored to attend and hear from the advocates directly, to ensure he can help deliver results for ALL veterans.

🧵1/3: When VA made a rule changing how veteran disability ratings were evaluated, veterans pushed back. They flooded the Federal Register with nearly 20,000 comments demanding to be heard. The people who served this country refused to let VA quietly take away what they earned.

I strongly support the Major Richard Star Act. If this Administration can find money for its misguided priorities, it can surely find the money to care for our nation’s veterans, their dependents, and their survivors. - RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social

Honoring veterans means more than awards and medals, it means respecting their healthcare. Trump MUST direct the VA to back off of rules that would diminish care and cut benefits.

🧵1/2: Tonight, Trump will address the nation & discuss his priorities. RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social's guest is George Retes, a combat veteran who was detained by overreaching ICE agents in July.

🧵1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.

More Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Here's what's behind the surge. The increase in bankruptcy filings comes as Americans face a slate of economic pressures, from sticky inflation to elevated borrowing costs.

Trump's tariffs are bankrupting more Americans than ever. What happened to 'lower prices on day one'? www.cbsnews.com/news/bankrup...

The Secretary chose to leave today's hearing.

Our questions remain unanswered.

The Secretary must come back.

This reorganization is Secretary Collins's third attempt to dismantle VA.

Veterans will feel the consequences.

Pam Bondi is bothered and upset by questions about her cover up of the Epstein files. The survivors and our country deserve so much better.

VA Secretary Collins just told RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social that VA doesn't have enough clinical employees. Then why are there more postings on USA jobs right now for ICE & CBP than there are for VA doctors & nurses? Why did VA just wipe almost 30,000 vacant VHA positions off its books?

Trump has slow-walked the release of the Epstein files and appears to be granting favors to Ghislaine Maxwell in return for her silence. This White House cover-up must end, regardless of who is implicated - including the president himself. The rest of these files must be released.

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not use their positions to enrich themselves. I'm joining my colleagues in banning stock trading for these individuals, because no elected official should use their access and the public trust to profit.

People have been killed by ICE. No accountability, no funding.

ICE and DHS agents are stomping on the rights of Americans while covering their faces, with zero repercussions for their actions. Accountability and impeachment must happen if we want our communities, families, and country to be safe.

Today, my Democratic colleagues and I stood in protest at ICE headquarters, outraged by the roughly 50 people killed at the hands of their agents. Reform and accountability NOW.

Sec. Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security is out of control and endangering lives.

@repmarktakano.bsky.social and @repraulruizmd.bsky.social & I held a press conference in front of the ICE office in San Bernardino to demand the removal of Kristi Noem and serious reforms at the agency.

On Fred Korematsu Day, Chair @meng.house.gov, First Vice Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social, Second Vice Chair @tokuda.house.gov, and Executive Board Members @hirono.senate.gov @dorismatsui.bsky.social issued a joint statement to honor the life of this civil rights hero.

Americans must be able to protest this regime safely, without fearing for their lives or being logged into a government database.
