Charlie Chaplin felt so strongly about fighting fascism against Germany in 1940 that he broke his silence for the first time ever to deliver this monologue
I'm running for Congress to represent my home (AR-02).
Our story isn’t about perfection, it’s about freedom. Freedom that too many families are losing because everything costs so much more.
It’s time for change.

NEW: @JamesTalarico kicks off “Final Four” campaign ground operation with 130 events in 40 cities during the final four days of the Democratic primary.
Fueled by 28,000 volunteers, @TeamTalaricoHQ is bringing working people together to take back Texas.
.@JamesTalarico: Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?
Republican: W-well… This bill prevents that from happening
Talarico: Can you name a school where that’s happening?
Republican: N-no I cannot
Talarico: I find it concerning that these types of debunked conspiracy theories are being used by politicians at the highest levels of our government who know that they're incorrect. This whole thing is just weird and honestly a little creepy, and I think that's the point because this is all, in my opinion, a manufactured, debunked smear campaign against our Texas public schools.
These culture war attacks are nothing more than an effort to discredit our public schools to justify defunding those public schools. Texas librarians are not grooming kids, Texas teachers are not indoctrinating kids, and Texas schools are not providing litter boxes. And I think the most disappointing part about all this is that I think you know that.
.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital.
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.
Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead — the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people.
President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.
Trump is lying to the American people as he launches an illegal, regime-change war against Iran. This is endangering American lives & has already resulted in mass civilian casualties. This is not making us safer & only damages the US & our interests. The Senate must immediately vote on the War Powers Resolution to stop it.
I join fellow Americans in mourning the deaths of three servicemembers and praying for five servicemembers who were seriously wounded as a result of Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran.
Trump owes the nation, our military families, and Congress an immediate explanation as to why he’s pushed us into a new war.
I’ll be clearer. Tom Cotton does not support the passage of a Farm Bill as evidenced by his votes. We haven’t had a new Farm Bill, because we didn’t have enough legislators fighting for it. Tom Cotton’s voting record proves he wouldn’t help get it done. IF we’d had a Farm Bill, I’d still be farming. Tom Cotton wouldn’t have me whooping his butt in the polls if he’d fought for us. So here we are. Now, I’m not telling you what to think. I’m presenting the evidence, as I’m the expert here. Not AI.
@anguscharlie@TomCottonAR Food is why he voted against it. Food for the hungriest state in the country. Food for the fourth poorest state in the country. Food for the second sickest state in the country. Quality of life in Arkansas has gone DOWN during his tenure. Not a winning record if you ask me.
My prayers are with the loved ones of the three U.S. service members killed and the five seriously injured during the operation against Iran. Their sacrifice, and the sacrifices of all those who serve, is profound and deeply felt in this difficult moment. 🇺🇸🎗️
The problem is French there's this thing called a Constitution that we're guided by and it says that the Executive branch of government isn't to declare our country at war.
For five decades, the Iranian regime has terrorized its own people, threatened regional stability, and pursued weapons of mass destruction in defiance of the international community.
Decades of sanctions imposed bilaterally and by the United Nations have failed to stop Iran's destructive ambitions. Years of intensive but ultimately futile negotiations over Iran's nuclear program accomplished nothing and were rightly rejected by bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate at the end of the Obama Administration.
Each year that I have served in the House, I have spoken directly to the Iranian people, most recently at the Organization of Iranian American Communities event on Capitol Hill in December, where I again condemned the brutality of the Iranian regime and stood with all Iranians fighting for a democratic, secular, non-nuclear republic.
I have long been a steadfast advocate for the people of Iran. In the last Congress, my bill—the Holding Iranian Leaders Accountable Act—was signed into law to expose the regime's financial corruption, and this year I cosponsored a bipartisan resolution condemning the regime's terrorism and supporting the Iranian people's call for democratic change.
Throughout my time in Congress, I have consistently consulted with regional leaders in the Gulf and in our ally Israel about the Iranian threat and the importance of standing together against terror, aggression, and a nuclear-armed Iran.
I pray for our servicemembers as they carry out these operations, for our allies in the region, and for the Iranian people. May this be the dawn of a new day for the Iranian people and a step toward lasting peace in the Middle East.
Three American service members were killed and several others wounded.
As the spouse of a combat veteran, I know these are not just headlines. They are husbands, wives, sons, and daughters.
Praying for the fallen, the injured, and all carrying this weight today. 🙏🏽🇺🇸
Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. https://t.co/F4ek8JHUJF
@davenewworld_2@DeandaSharone This drains Americans of resources and money when the world is moving away from these designs that are antiquated in favor of more modern efficient designs that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. We don't have to be last.
