It's official: we delivered our voter signatures (early!) to the Registrar's office โฌ‡๏ธ and will be on the ballot for the 2026 midterms!

Voters in #CA37 are loud and clear: #Congress isn't working for them and they want that to change. And since voters are the boss, change is coming!

Fury as Trump's policies 'force' giant car factory to shut Ford Motor Company and South Korean battery manufacturer SK On partnered to establish battery plants across the US, investing $5.8 billion in a sprawling 1,500-acre facility in Glendale.

This is what happens when #Congress gives away its "power of the purse": 1600 jobs lost in Kentucky. This is going to change when we elect new folks to Congress who actually understand this moment. #ca37

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

This is nuts. Voters tell me that Congress is ineffective & they want a MUCH harder fight on this. So here's what I will fight for

1) Shut ICE down on Day 1
2) Reinstate lawful rights of detainees
3) Hold people accountable from top down
4) Rebuild a new immigration system

Change is coming #CA37

Opinion | A New Jersey Primary Shows the Depth of Democratic Fury

This is why I'm running for #Congress. Because it's time for change โฌ‡๏ธ

"Democratic voters are dissatisfied w/ their partyโ€™s anemic response to Trumpโ€™s autocratic thuggery....they are furious & terrified to a degree that Dem leaders still donโ€™t fully grasp."

Elon Musk warns the U.S. is '1,000% going to go bankrupt' unless AI and robotics save the economy from crushing debt | Fortune โ€œWe just need enough time to build the AI and robots to not go bankrupt before then.โ€

Elon's only interest is Elon, not the United States.

Congress has been ineffective at standing up for Americans against the tech broligarchs, but that's going to change. #CA37

"Schumer needs to get the hell out": House Democrats fume over DHS funding talks "The main feeling among members is a lack of trust in his strength and ability to strike a hard bargain."

"We're sending them a proposal and we await their response" is the exact wrong stance that voters want to hear from Democrats.

Change is coming folks. #congress #ca37 #ICE

Volunteers in Minnesota Deliver Groceries So Immigrants Can Hide at Home

The Trump administration has made two grave errors:

1. Not anticipating a new Congress with new people coming after them in 2027.

2. Thinking everyone hates immigrants like they do. Guess what: we don't.

Tick-tock.

U.S. Manufacturing Is in Retreat and Trumpโ€™s Tariffs Arenโ€™t Helping Levies on imports were supposed to bring back a golden age of U.S. manufacturing. They havenโ€™t worked, so far.

Congress giving away its power is not just some political argument.

Letting the executive branch do whatever it wants around tariffs creates terrible real-world consequences.

When I get to #Congress, we will take back our power. Change is coming. #ca37

This is what fascists do when they are weak, not strong: arrest journalists. Minneapolis has shown us how to be strong. Voters are telling me that Congress has not shown us how to be strong. But thatโ€™s going to change when I get there. A stronger Congress is coming. #ca37 #donlemon

An embarrassing disgrace.

Voters ask me daily: why isnโ€™t Congress stopping this madness? It supposedly has the power of the purse and could take back its power from the executive branch anytime.

When I get to Congress, we will.

Our response to ICE killing innocent civilians is...firing somebody?

Voters tell me they want investigations, indictments, & consequences. It will be the only path forward when I get to Congress.

And yes, Noem will be fired too.

I can't believe this has to be said, but it has to be said. There was no mob veto, whatever that means, just the murder of innocent civilians.

Change is coming to Congress this year. We're going to fix this.

Live Updates: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man

An American citizen. W/ no criminal record.

This has nothing to do with immigration enforcement and is looking more like Nazism 2.0.

4 Takeaways From Jack Smithโ€™s Testimony Before Lawmakers

I do not need 5 hours of testimony to know that charges should have been brought against Donald Trump.

But now that Trump is president again, voters are telling me that #Congress is ineffective at stopping him, and that must change.

Accountability and change are coming.

The Most Startling Line From Trump's Davos Speech While Trump insisted he wouldn't use force to take Greenland, another line injected mob-like menace to his Davos speech

Folks, weโ€™ve got a couple of option on the table.

1st, the VP and the Cabinet invoke the 25th.

2nd, #Congress takes back its power & holds the Exec Branch in check.

Voters tell me they are unhappy w/ how ineffective Congress has been at this.
