Trump: It's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing.
Reporter: It certainly doesn’t feel like small potatoes. 18 service members have died, we’re seeing record long deployments--
Trump: Why is it record long? How long were we in Vietnam?
18 Americans dead. Hundreds more wounded.
That's not "small potatoes", Mr. President.
As elites talk tough and bang the war drums from their gold-plated offices, it’s working class folks who have to pick up a rifle, jump in a tank, and do the fighting.
It pisses me off – and it should piss you off too.
The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
Thinking of John McCain today on what would’ve been his 90th birthday. As a Senator, John never stopped fighting for what he believed was right for Arizona, even when it meant standing alone. He dedicated his life to our country, and his legacy of service will never be forgotten.
every news headline now is like Blueberries Will Kill You. Measles Is Back. Gas Costs Six Dollars. Gwyneth Paltrow Is Selling AI Drone Technology. You Are Being Watched. Three Billion More To Israel. like idk did we do it did we make america great again
Two months ago, a federal judge permanently ordered the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center building and grounds, ruling that Congress, and only Congress, can authorize the installation of new signage.
In violation of this active court order, a partisan Board of Trustees – all handpicked by President Trump - just voted to inscribe his name on the building and grounds “by any legal means.”
On the House Democratic Litigation Task Force, we will also use every legal tool at our disposal to stop this latest, shameless attempt by President Trump to steal the valor of our 35th President and the legacy of public service, military bravery, and dedication to artistic achievement that Congress sought to honor by designating the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as his sole national memorial.
Our brave naval officers on the USS Lincoln have been at sea for nine months, dealing with deteriorating conditions and critical supply shortages.
They and their families deserve better.
Ossoff: While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings. He golfs and trades stocks. So he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
It should never be acceptable to use veterans and military families as political pawns. Veterans want to be heard, respected, included and not silenced or trivialized by the political establishment. Let’s work together to ensure veterans are treated with the respect they earned!
Today, I spoke on the House Floor in support of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act.
As a proud product of the Old Colony Projects and a founding member of the Congressional Affordable Housing Caucus, I am proud of this bipartisan investment in affordable and workforce Housing and will continue to ensure that we continue to work to make the American Dream attainable to every American.

Honored to join Congressman Stephen Lynch, State Representative Aaron Michlewitz and Chris Osgood (Boston Office of Climate Resiliency) this evening for the Wharf District Council's community meeting. Thank you to the New England Aquarium for hosting this informative discussion!
We are now into the fifth year of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unlawful war of aggression against Ukraine – with Russian forces continuing to launch a deadly drone and missile air campaign against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has refused to provide additional security assistance to the Ukrainian people and even slashed tens of millions in funding that would have supported the investigation of Russian war crimes targeting Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
In defense of a free and sovereign Ukraine, and in the interest of U.S. national security, I voted YES on the Ukraine Support Act. This bipartisan legislation authorizes additional security assistance for Ukraine and will impose harsher sanctions on Russia if it continues the war, refuses to engage in good faith peace negotiations, or violates the terms of an existing peace agreement.
Today we honored our brother Bobby Kilduff Jr. on his final ride through the city he gave his all to. May he rest in peace. We will forever keep his Legacy alive & his family in our hearts and prayers.
