Exercising Reason

@RepJayapal US citizens? Really? Name some.

ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens. But yet, Trump has let them operate lawlessly, and they have detained citizens for days and weeks at a time. I introduced an amendment to finally put an end to this.

@maziehirono Maui update please?

IDGAF about how big our pools are. I care that the American people can't afford groceries, health care, or electricity. But again and again, Trump proves he cares more about wasting taxpayer dollars on beautification projects than he does about lowering costs for Americans.

@RepJeffries You keep telling yourself that. Dumb.

President Obama built a global coalition that constrained Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Donald Trump recklessly ripped that agreement up and took us to war. Now gas prices are soaring, Iran is stronger and America is less safe. That’s the Trump record.

@ewarren Sure. Now’s the time. How long were you going to wait? Career politicians are the worst.

It's time for us to ban stock trading for all members of Congress, for the vice president, and for the president. Period.

@PramilaJayapal They fall due to failed socialist policies like yours.

Democracies don't fall because of outside invaders. They fall because leaders dismantle them from the inside. They attack the press. They intimidate judges. They use the power of government to punish political opponents. Sound familiar? We have to fight this with everything we have.

@RepSaraJacobs The American dream is perfectly attainable.

It’s no wonder that so many people – especially young people – are disillusioned with our country right now. Look around. The American dream isn’t attainable and our systems are failing to deliver solutions. We need to change that.  usatoday.com/story/news/usa…

@ElissaSlotkin Aside from pandering to voting blocks, have you thought this through? The long-term effects of the policies you support will destroy America as we know it. After Trump, that may not happen…but you know that.

There will be an America after Donald Trump. That's not wishful thinking. That's a fact. What it looks like depends on whether a new generation of leaders steps up right now. That work starts today.

@PramilaJayapal Why do you care so much about billionaires? Answer: You’re jealous and you want to take their money and redistribute it…usually to buy votes.

Billionaires just crossed $20 TRILLION in combined wealth. Meanwhile, the number of Americans who said their finances are “somewhat worse off” or “much worse off” than a year ago was the largest in years. The economy is working exactly as the powerful designed it to work — for them, not for us. cnn.com/2026/06/08/eco…

@Hickenlooper Ask illegal aliens to leave voluntarily. All problems will be solved.

MAGA Republicans’ priorities: $70 billion for Trump’s deportation machine but nothing to lower costs. Nothing for affordable housing. Nothing to address astronomically high health care. They even blocked our effort to stop Trump from shelling out $1.8 billion his cronies.

@amyklobuchar Stop lying.

The President might be the only American who “loves inflation.” Everybody else is sick and tired of it.

@JBPritzker The “courts ruled” tells you everything you need to know.

The courts ruled that Donald Trump had to pay back the $166 billion he stole through his illegal tariffs. Now, he's fighting back. Cut the crap, Donald. It's time to cut the check.

@RepDWStweets Tell illegal aliens to leave voluntarily. Both programs solved.

Americans need more homes we can afford, not more ICE cruelty. This week I pushed to use unspent ICE funds to fix America's housing crisis. Just 25% of ICE's budget can end homelessness. But Republicans voted it down.

@RepShriThanedar Receives? “Earns” is more accurate. What have you done to earn your salary this week? Top three things only. Posts on X don’t count. Go!

Elon Musk receives $8 million per DAY from American taxpayers, which YOU voted for. Progressives aren’t taking Elon’s money and giving it to working families—Trump and Congressional Republicans (such as you) are taking working families’ money and giving it to Elon.

@tedlieu Have you ever made a post without the word “Trump” in it?

trump is rapidly becoming a lame duck President. His name has already been removed from the Kennedy Center. And his name will be removed from everything in due time. He will go down as the worst President in American history with very little permanent changes he can point to.

@maziehirono Lied? BTW, how is the Maui recovery going?

Trump has lied about a potential Iran deal over 38 times. 38 lies, 100+ days, and $29 BILLION in taxpayer dollars later... there is still no deal, no strategy, and no end in sight to this illegal war. cnn.com/2026/06/09/pol…

@GovPritzker Pharmacies got billions under Biden. Where did all that money go?

Local pharmacies are often one of the most accessible and affordable points of care, but they face growing financial pressure. Illinois is stepping up to help ensure that working families across the state get the care they rely on, close to home. capitolnewsillinois.com/news/illinois-…

@Hickenlooper Lower costs? How? Details please. Subsidies don’t lower the cost of anything. In fact they have the opposite effect.

@AdamKinzinger You need to get a job.

Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

@JeffMerkley Pandering.

Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire today. Meanwhile, families are struggling to make ends meet as prices on gas and groceries soar. It doesn't have to be this way. I'm fighting for a vision where families thrive, and billionaires pay their fair share.

@RepBeccaB False dichotomy but you already know that.

This week, Republicans decided we don’t have the time or money to lower the cost of food, gas, housing, and health care, but we have plenty of both to give $70B to ICE and Border Patrol. This is all so screwed up.
