Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the United States of America and dishonors Americans with his sexist, vulgar and unbecoming conduct.

In a normal Department of Justice not run by hacks and sycophants and malicious clowns, Lindsey Halligan would resign and the indictment against James Comey would be dismissed.

Halligan should be disbarred. She altered a court document without showing the grand jury.

Honored to speak at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Tech Summit today on AI literacy.

Thank you to CHCI Chair Darren Soto and CHCI staff for their leadership in putting together great programs.

Grocery prices reach a record high.

The harmful policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing Americans.

And what is Trump focused on? Redecorating his marble bathroom, renovating his used jet from Qatar, and demolishing part of the White House to build his Epstein ballroom.

The President doesn’t really want the Epstein files to be released. He just reversed his position because Republicans were getting their asses kicked.

If Trump wanted to, he could order the release of the files right now.

I start my TEDx Talk on Artificial Intelligence by talking about antifreeze.

The Democratic sweep earlier this month weakened Trump.

Help Democrats flip the House and we will cut Trump’s radical, harmful agenda in half.

It is insane to not regulate AI.

Did a TEDx Talk on how Congress must take a proactive approach to make sure we harness the power of AI safely for the future.

Trump and Republicans don’t have a plan to help Americans who are harmed by AI. In fact, Trump and GOP don’t even have concepts of a plan.

But Trump is working hard on his marble bathroom and his ostentatious Epstein ballroom.

Eric Trump brags about sending $500 million while having a glass of wine with his wife.

Let them eat cake.

Donald Trump and his family are fixated on ostentatious ballrooms and billionaire issues, while Americans suffer from rising grocery prices and skyrocketing health care.

Republicans and the Trump Administration need to stop kissing the ass of Ghislaine Maxwell and covering up the Epstein files.

We pray for the girls abused by Epstein,Β Maxwell - and their predator friends. We pray each predator, no matter how powerful, will experience justice. We pray this justice may bring some peace to the victims.

The greatness of any nation lies in its willingness to face the truth.

House Democrats are voting no on this awful bill that does nothing to stop healthcare costs from rising.

β€œA pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday β€” and may every day be another wonderful secret."

This birthday message from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein certainly takes on even greater weight given the release of the new Epstein emails.

Trump and complicit Republicans are engaged in a massive cover up of the Epstein Files.

The harmful economic policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing the American people.

The U.S. lost an average of 11,000 jobs per week last month.

Also, release the Epstein Files.

Dear Senators Shaheen, Hassan and King: While I disagree with the deal you negotiated, I respect you.

But GOP Senators do not respect you. They spat in your faces by secretly including a corrupt provision to pay 8 GOP Senators.

I request that you reverse this provision in Jan.

Trump is now fighting in the Supreme Court to stop SNAP hunger payments, which affects one in four kids in America, as well as seniors and people with disabilities.

Trump also left for Mar-a-Lago, and wow have you seen his gilded gold bathroom sinks?

Today is Day 38 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Trump’s economy sucks and the American people know it.

Consumer sentiment has now reached the second-lowest level ever recorded.

Trump could stop this Republican shutdown today by simply convening a meeting with legislative leaders.

REP LIEU APPLAUDS PASSAGE OF CALIFORNIA’S TEMPORARY REDISTRICTING MEASURE

Trump and his Republican acolytes have made it their mission to attack hardworking Californians and our Democratic principles. Last night, Californians told Trump that we will not yield.

The resounding support for Prop 50 shows that there are political consequences to politicizing fire aid, sending troops to our neighborhoods, and terrorizing immigrant communities. California is the fifth-largest economy in the world and makes our country great. People here and across the country are sick of inflation and they’re sick of the Republican cruelty. Californians joined the chorus of Americans who made their voices heard yesterday to simply say: Republicans, stop attacking our communities and driving up the cost of everything.
