Day 1360 of sobriety

I just introduced the Delete DOGE Act, which – you guessed it – would defund DOGE.

I disagree with the administration’s moves to shutter the only agency focused solely on America's libraries and museums.

Mainers understand the value these institutions have in connecting, educating, and even attracting folks from away. I believe in that mission, and am pushing back on those cuts.

Pentagon Will Review Pete Hegseth’s Signal Use The review started in response to a joint bipartisan request last week from leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

The Pentagon’s acting inspector general will review Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the app Signal to share Yemen attack plans.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

New.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020.

Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

How is Fox presenting this economic shit show to their cult? I understand they removed the ticket, so are they just pretending reality isn’t happening like usual or have they fabricated their lie yet?

Look around!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did to our country on January 6th!!!

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

Calling all high school artists of #TX20! My office is accepting submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition until April 18th.

The winner will have their art displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. I look forward to seeing all the talent San Antonio has to offer!

lmao

Then I’m sure they won’t be asking for government subsidies to compensate for the impacts tariffs have on them.

Fox News spent 30 years shoving the stock ticker down our throats—now that their cult leader is burning the economy, it’s gone. Don’t hide it, we all see the flames.

Just thinking about a fellow school parent who told me they “don’t do politics” but they own a car dealership.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."
