    Want to know how to charge taxpayers $396.15 a night to stay at your place? Simple: Become president. Each new revelation about Trump profiting off the presidency reinforces the case for my bill requiring disclosure of all official expenses at companies owned by Trump.

    Here’s how we know ’s company charged taxpayers rates like $650/night or $396/night at Mar a Lago and $17,000/month at Bedminster to house his own Secret Service detail. Receipts.

    Notwithstanding Trump’s assault on the rule of law and democratic institutions, the system can hold. One reason why? The independence of the lower courts. Exhibit A: This judge is reviewing the rationale for redactions to the Mueller report after Barr’s many misrepresentations.

    We all commend Mr. Rogers' patriotic commitment to voting. But it shouldn't be this way. Long lines form when states close polling locations to suppress the vote. We should make voting as easy as possible and protect and expand voting rights.

    The last voter at Texas Southern University has walked out of the voting booth. It took Hervis Rogers nearly 7 hours to vote tonight.

    Coronavirus misinformation is rampant, and has led to discrimination against Asian-American communities and businesses. Listen to advice from experts. Racism and xenophobia are destructive and only further endanger our public health.

    To combat climate change effectively, we need to be able to trust the information coming from our government. Science doesn't lie — but people do lie about science. When it concerns the established scientific consensus, that’s incredibly dangerous. Truth is truth.

    Since 2017, an official at the U.S. Interior Department has led a campaign that has inserted misleading language about climate change into the agency’s scientific reports, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times

    Elaine McCusker warned withholding military aid from Ukraine may violate the law. It did. Now the President continues taking his revenge, pulling McCusker’s nomination and making her the latest victim on Trump's "enemies list.” The GOP's only response? Shameful silence.

    Breaking : The White House is withdrawing Elaine McCusker for a top Pentagon post following reports that she questioned the legality of the administration's efforts to freeze military aid to Ukraine. confirming NY Post.

    55 years ago, John Lewis thought he was going to die on the Edmund Pettus Bridge marching for the right to vote. Instead, he has lived a life dedicated to fighting for an America that lives up to her promise. The fight goes on. Vote like you’ve never voted before.

    “I thought I was going to die on this bridge.” Incredible moment in the middle of the Edmund Pettus bridge during bridge crossing. Thank you . We will never stop working to honor you and all who risked their lives for the right to vote.

    Trump is trying to roll back discrimination protections for LGBTQ people under the guise of religious liberty. This would make it harder for LGBTQ couples trying to adopt, and only hurt the kids who otherwise would be welcomed into loving homes. Watch explain:

    My husband & I have been raising kids for 27 years. Our eldest came to us when he was almost 3. His mom OD’d & his dad went to jail. There was no one to take care of this little boy, so we did. When you discriminate against LGBTQ couples, you deprive kids like mine of good homes.

    Trump’s lawyers convinced two judges of their unprecedented legal theory that courts CANNOT enforce congressional subpoenas. This was after they argued during the impeachment trial that the House was REQUIRED to enforce subpoenas in court. Such duplicity can't survive appeal.

    We now have an intelligence chief who should not have been fired, an unqualified nominee who should not be confirmed, and an acting director who is patently unfit. All while our elections are perilously at risk of foreign interference. Just the way the President likes it.

    I am pleased to announce the nomination of (Congressman John Ratcliffe) to be Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Would have completed process earlier, but John wanted to wait until after IG Report was finished. John is an outstanding man of great talent!

    Managing pandemics requires trustworthy and accurate information. That’s why this is so disturbing: The Trump Administration may have exposed health workers to Coronavirus without adequate protection, and then tried to cover it up — all while downplaying risks.

    So here's what appears to be chain of events: The Trump administration repatriated infected Americans over the objections of the CDC. HHS then sent federal workers to interact with the infected population without adequate training or protection

    Homelessness in our community has many causes, but one of them is very simple: We don’t have enough affordable housing. My bill helps address this issue by creating tax incentives for property owners who sell to affordable housing developers. Learn more:

    The Affordable and Homeless Housing Incentives Act would create new tax incentives for property owners who sell to nonprofits and public agencies that develop affordable housing or homeless shelters.

    The Trump Administration has slashed CDC funding and left positions charged with managing pandemics vacant. The budget request for Coronavirus funding shows they still don’t understand the magnitude of the threat. The House will pass a real plan.

    Flashback: There is no one in the White House tasked specifically to oversee a coordinated government-wide response in the event of a pandemic, since the post of senior director for global health security and biothreats on the NSC was eliminated last May.

    In September, and I warned that our reliance on China for pharmaceutical ingredients is a national security threat. The potential for disruptions caused by Coronavirus demonstrates why. We need to make sure Americans can get the medicines they need.

    The biggest threat to our elections is a president who welcomes foreign help. But the biggest danger to our democracy is a president who lies—constantly. I don’t discuss classified briefings, but you don’t need a clearance to see how Trump endangers everything we hold dear.

    Without evidence, President Trump accused the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee of leaking information about Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2020 election

    While there’s no silver bullet to solve the homelessness crisis, I‘ve introduced a bill to help increase the supply of affordable housing. Everyone deserves a safe and dignified space to call home. Let's work to make that vision a reality.

    Nice deflection, Mr. President. But your false claims fool no one. You welcomed Russian help in 2016, tried to coerce Ukraine’s help in 2019, and won’t protect our elections in 2020. Now you fired your intel chief for briefing Congress about it. You’ve betrayed America. Again.

    0:29
    WATCH: After press reports that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election, Trump blames House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff and calls for an investigation into the leak. Pres. Trump: "Nobody said it to me at all. Nobody briefed me about that all."

    Mr. President, I didn’t say that. But if you wish to quote me, quote this: ”The only thing Americans despise more than foreign actors trying to affect the vote is a president unwilling to do anything to stop it.” Americans decide American elections.

    Democrats in the Great State of Nevada (Which, because of the Economy, Jobs, the Military & Vets, I will win in November), be careful of Russia, Russia, Russia. According to Corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff, they are pushing for Crazy Bernie Sanders to win. Vote!
