Rep. Ansari has shown extraordinary courage in standing up for the Iranian people throughout Trump's illegal war, & these lies and threats won't deter her from speaking out.
But public servants, their staff, & their families shouldn't have to endure threats & personal attacks. @RepYassAnsari, we have your back.
EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patelâs security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for âbreaching equipmentâwas made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. https://t.co/Ater7LRQ2H
During the summer in Arizona, not paying your AC bill isnât an option. Itâs a matter of life and death.
So why are colder states getting more help with utility bills than hot ones? That makes no sense.
@SenMarkKelly and I are pushing to update this outdated program so the families who need help most actually get it.

A joint statement from myself @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepDeluzio, @RepGoodlander and @RepHoulahan.
âWe are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.
âWhatâs most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty.
âBut this isnât about any one of us. This isnât about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the Presidentâs calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity.
âIn these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.
âDonât Give Up the Ship!â
Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
Hereâs my response:
My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution.
Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans of all political beliefs need to stand up and say so.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit â all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesnât understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
âWe need sound leadership. That shouldn't be too much to ask for. Those with power and influence â from the president on down â must realize that fanning the flames of division will only make things worse and lead to even more violence and crime.â https://t.co/Xitz8Ja3t0
My office has received an extraordinary number of violent and graphic threats yesterday and today from right-wing individuals online and over the phoneâdirected toward me, my family, and my staffâafter I pointed out the simple fact that President Trump should join Speaker Johnson and other level-headed Republicans in condemning political violence, not inciting it further.
The solution to political disagreement in America is never violence. It should be easy for everybody to say that.
Republicans need to condemn violence committed by the right, just as I and many other Democrats condemn violence by the left.
Charlie Kirk called me a âlunaticâ and a âprostituteâ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We donât know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
This is beyond terrible. Charlie Kirk was a husband, father, and son.
Violence is never the answer. Sydney and I are keeping the Kirk family in our prayers.
Ketching up to the latest news from Sen Gallego:
"For years, Iâve been fighting back against the tomato tax â calling out both Democratic and Republican administrations. Unfortunately, the Trump administration hasnât listened. With Trumpâs tomato tax going into effect today ..."
BREAKING: Trumpâs tomato tax just went into effect.
At a time when families are already struggling to afford groceries, prices on tomato products could spike by up to 50%.
This is a tax on working people, plain and simple.
If thatâs what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.
