Tomorrow I will vote to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene's committee assignments - a vote that wouldn't even be necessary if @GOPLeader Qevin McQarthy simply held Rep. Greene to his own Steve King standard.

- Paul Ryan says Ocasio-Cortez didn't really listen "to a thing I said" when he offered her advice hill.cm/0vEdpCU
- I once took heat for calling Betsy DeVos "dumb as a bag of hammers." But after her 4 years as our Education Secretary, I now realize an apology is owed. To hammers.
- Here's how stupid Trump thinks we are: he just dumped a bunch of valuable water from 2 federal flood control dams, wasting it into the Tulare Lake bed where it evaporates. None goes to LA, but he claims he's saving LA. Pissing on us and telling us it's raining.Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams latimes.com/environment/st…
- Colleagues in Congress: if this isn't impeachable abuse of power, what is? I'm sick of the parsing, dithering & political overcalculating. We are verging on tragic fecklessness. Time to do our job!WSJ EXCLUSIVE: Trump repeatedly pressed Ukraine president to investigate Biden’s son, leaning on him 8 times to work with Giuliani on the investigation. wsj.com/articles/trump…
- When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.President Trump ended his remarks tonight by giving thanks to God and humbly expressing our love for God. This is the American way.
- I assume Judge Coney Barrett will be responsibly quarantining for the next two weeks.
- Dear Speaker Johnson, Please don't make stuff up. The prayer that you read in the House Chamber today was not written by Thomas Jefferson and your claim that he recited it "every day" is false. Please use credible sources, not your discredited pal David Barton. See
- Folks: I understand your fear and exasperation and why so many of you are demanding that Democrats "DO SOMETHING" to stop Trump. I want you to know this Democrat is doing everything he can think of to meet this moment and make a difference. If you have better ideas, I'm all
- Agree with @AOC here. Before some blame progressives for election disappointments, let's remember: 1) most of these scary tropes are just GOP inventions; 2) progressives values/priorities are popular; and 3) progressives bring a lot to the table & should be respected/appreciated.@AOC tells @jaketapper that "not a single member of Congress that I'm aware of campaigned on socialism or defunding the police in this general election." She says Dems' problem is a weak party operation that needs to become "stronger and more resilient to Republican attacks."
- I serve with some brilliant people. This is not one of them.Rep. Mary Miller says that "climate change is a sham": "God controls the climate because he controls the sun and the sun controls the weather, primarily."
00:00 - Agree. There's a lot of fake GOP outrage from folks who have no problem with warehousing thousands of innocent, desperate people in barbed-wire enclosures that look and function like concentration camps. Can we please talk about that?DHS ripped 1000s of children from their parents & put them in cages w inhumane conditions. They call their cells “dog pounds” & “freezers.” I will never apologize for calling these camps what they are. If that makes you uncomfortable, fight the camps - not the nomenclature.
- To anyone suffering from the misunderstanding that Congress is on vacation, our House Dem Caucus is meeting RIGHT NOW to discuss 25th Amendment, Impeachment, and other immediate actions to meet this historic moment! We know this is an emergency that demands action now.
- My daughter Abby, a graphic design student, came up with a project to make posters of iconic national parks with an edgy twist: depicting the impact of climate change and including a call to action. As a proud dad, I'm biased but I love it!
