Today, Americans will cheer Team USA on as they compete on the world stage. Their success shows us how immigrants shape our country.

So a reminder to the Trump admin that wants to take away birthright citizenship or send ICE after our neighbors: Immigrants are not a weakness of America.

They ARE America.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Past midnight at the Capitol where Republicans have us voting in the dark of night on a bill they know Americans won’t like, AGAIN.

Section 702 of FISA allows the Trump admin to check some of our emails and texts with foreign nationals. Your privacy is a right and I’m going in to vote no on this bill.

@baltimoresun @SenBillFerg has time to hold a vote on the Super Bowl, but not on redistricting.

Temperatures will dip into the single digits to 10 degrees by Thursday morning. Wind chills will fall below zero.

We are in the midst of one of the longest streaks of freezing weather on record in the DC area. It's a very tough time for area homeless.

SCOOP: "60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi tells colleagues that CBS's decision to pull her segment tonight "is not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

[Matt Dernoga @MattDernoga]

This #WorldSeries is incredible to watch.

Wow.

The Trump tariffs are hurting Americans every day.

[Nanette D. Barragán @RepBarragan]

Instead of lowering prices, Trump is canceling 300+ clean energy projects – raising electricity costs and killing jobs.

It’s a blatant partisan attempt to retaliate against Democrats, and we will not stand for it.

My Stop the Trump Electricity Price Hikes Act restores these projects to lower costs and save jobs.

Congratulations to @EcoWavePower on the launch of America’s first ever on-shore wave energy project at the @PortofLA!

This revolutionary tech uses wave energy to create electricity — delivering a new renewable and reliable energy source.

Today I introduced a resolution with 22 of my colleagues to defend the independence of the Federal Reserve Chairman & Board of Governors.

The Trump Administration’s attempts to politicize and intimidate the Fed threaten the stability of our economy & every family that depends on it.

Congress must stand united for an independent Fed & the integrity of our financial system.

[Nanette D. Barragán @RepBarragan]

This is unacceptable.

Children are dying from hunger and doctors are collapsing from malnutrition in Gaza.

Israel must allow far more food aid in.

Trump Admin must demand that Israel allow the immediate entry of enough life-saving aid to meet this dire need.

[Nanette D. Barragán @RepBarragan]

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to the FDA’s ability to evaluate and approve new drugs — endangering the health of Americans and their access to treatments.

Because of Trump, over half of the FDA’s senior leadership is gone and thousands of staff have been fired— and he still wants to eliminate thousands of more jobs and cut over $400 million in the agency’s budget.

[Nanette D. Barragán @RepBarragan]

The latest Senate reconciliation text is the Ugliest bill yet.

It will throw millions off Medicaid, shutter hospitals, kick millions off food assistance, and hike energy costs by hundreds of dollars.

If Republicans move forward with this monstrosity, Americans will suffer.

NEW: Group of Louisiana hospitals is out with a statement warning Medicaid cuts in Senate GOP’s bill “would be historic in their devastation”

Says House version is “a more workable solution”

LA Sen. Cassidy recently raised concerns w/ Senate’s cuts. And of course it’s the home state of Johnson & Scalise
