I warned the Trump admin of this exact eventuality. Their actions combined with FIFA's ridiculous pricing schemes have discouraged fans from coming to games & now, one day before kickoff, ~180K tickets remain unsold. Our local businesses are being shortchanged.

The Trump Admin admits that its projections of how many tourists would come to the US after he took office were way off. Now World Cup fans are picking games in Mexico & Canada over the U.S. & it’s not hard to guess why. He is driving people away and hurting our economy.

Inflation is at its highest level since 2023. Gas prices are above $4 per gallon. Groceries get more expensive every week. The President may love it but the American people sure as hell don't.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Trump may not care about Americans' financial situation, but his illegal war is hurting working people every day. Inflation is at the highest level since 2023 & prices on everything from gas to groceries have gone up. This war is making us less safe & worse off. We must end it.

The Trump admin insists they review every refugee case based on its merits, & that it has nothing to do with race. Look at their own quota system: nearly 100% white. So much for merit-based.

Ruth Lopez, an anti-corruption lawyer, was unjustly arrested & has been wrongfully imprisoned for over a year in El Salvador. Bukele's govt has repeatedly violated her legal and due process rights. Last week, I met with her husband Louis who passed on her message of resilience,

In the midst of an Ebola outbreak: we have no confirmed CDC Director, Surgeon General, or FDA Commissioner. Half of NIH's Institutes & Centers lack permanent leadership. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is leaving work at 4pm & spouting conspiracy theories. This is public health under Trump.

Trump has now nominated his former personal attorney to be Attorney General. Remember, this is the man who helped set up the $1.8 BILLION slush fund that could funnel your tax dollars to people who assaulted cops on Jan 6 & molested children. This should be a non-starter.

Todd Blanche is supposed to be the people's lawyer, but his appearance before the Senate this week made it clear he's still acting as Trump's personal attorney.  Perhaps that’s why he was so offended when I confronted him with his failed record at the DOJ.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has never been convicted of a crime. Can’t say the same for either man in this photo:

Trump again refused to say his slush fund is dead. He also refused to say payouts shouldn't go to people who beat up our Capitol Police on Jan 6.  To every Republican who voted against my amendment to stop payments to those convicted of heinous crimes, what’s your excuse now?

I just offered an amendment to prevent anyone convicted of heinous crimes — from attacking law enforcement to molesting children — from getting money from Trump's taxpayer financed slush fund. Republicans blocked it. All to please the Dear Leader. It's sick.

This judge exposed the truth: the Trump Admin’s “anti-immigrant sentiments” are behind their dismantling of our asylum & legal immigration process. It's a direct attack on what Lady Liberty stands for. This ruling is a step in the right direction. We must keep fighting back.

In the past 6 months alone, over half of the publicly known donors to Trump's gold-plated ballroom, are reported to have received $50 BILLION in taxpayer-funded contracts from the federal gov. Wild coincidence or taxpayer-funded corruption? You be the judge.

Senate Republicans just voted to give billions more of taxpayer money to Trump's lawless ICE operations.  The American people deserve a govt that puts them first.  Today, Trump & his rubber stamp Republicans once again failed them.  My full statement ⬇️

Today, we gave Republicans a choice: Do they want to support people who assaulted police on Jan 6th or the police officers who defended the Capitol on that day. They made their choice. Another shameful vote from Republicans to send your tax dollars to these criminals.
