Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

@abigailspanberger.com: Trump is enriching himself, his family, friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. This is not what our founders envisioned. Is Trump working for you? We all know the answer is no

Prices up.
Health insurance up.
Violence and cruelty on our streets.

This is the state of the union under Donald Trump.

2 hours of rambling and lies do not change that reality.

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib heckle Trump as he goes full fear-mongering white nationalist

Rep. Al Green holds up “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES” sign in front of Donald Trump.

YouTube video by C-SPAN Rep. Lieu Says Epstein files Have Allegations of Trump Raping & Threatening to Kill Children

Rep. Ted Lieu: "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands & thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children."

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Walz: "In America, you cannot expect that the people are going to be okay with masked, unidentified people running you off the road and coming to your vehicle at gunpoint like we saw in St. Peter, Minnesota."

The first one has been answered today (2/10/26) by Rep. Massie as sultan ahmed bin sulayem.

Okay, I'm glad someone else thought this.

No lies detected from @ossoff.senate.gov here 👇🏽

(H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists.

Every Capitol Hill reporter should be issued a t-shirt and laminated poster board of this Trump social media post and get every House and Senate member on record if they support it.

"Coalie" looks like he's about to start crying.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

The next witness, U.S. citizen and CA resident Martin Rascon, chokes up as he recounts an experience from August when four men in face masks, sunglasses, & baseball caps tried to force into his car, guns pointed at him and his family, ignoring requests to ID themselves before shooting multiple times

The next witness is Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen and resident of Minneapolis with autism and a traumatic brain injury, who in January was dragged from her car by immigration agents— four blocks away from where George Floyd was killed—then detained without access to medical care or lawyer.

Next witness to testify is Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen and Chicago resident who was shot five times by CBP agents in October and was later charged with assaulting the agents who shot her. The U.S. Attorney's Office dropped those charges six weeks later.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Screenshot of an X post by The Bulwark (@BulwarkO…, 15h) reading: “Pam Bondi says Don Lemon was arrested ‘at my direction.’ All those free speech Twitter Files people are going to really, really loudly oppose this, right? Bueller?”

They’ll be about as outraged as the 2A people were over Alex Pretti.

🔥 @donlemonofficial.bsky.social : “I’ve spent my entire career covering the news — I will not stop now. There is no more independent time than right now for a free, independent media.”

Amen. 🙏🏽

If they won’t even arrest and name the goons who killed Alex Pretti they are saying ICE can kill with impunity and guaranteeing it happens again.

That in itself should be a dealbreaker for any DHS funding.

CNN: Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost assaulted at Sundance Film Festival event, police say By Aleena Fayaz Updated Jan 24, 2026

NBC News: Man lunges at Ilhan Omar during town hall and tries to spray her with unknown substance January 27, 2026

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

Q: You met with VP Vance. His goal was to turn down the temperature

ELLISON: Well, I guess it didn't work, huh? I walked out of there thinking we probably weren't gonna get anywhere, because a few minutes later he got up there and articulated the same talking points

Reported for knowingly posting disinformation.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
