    With Trump, there’s a dumpster fire a day. If we only fight those fires, we will lose. There’s strength in being FOR something.

    For the last 22 years, this Oregon congressman has been spreading his own brand of cheer to colleagues on both sides of the aisle Earlier this year, we followed for a little "drive-by fruitcaking"

    On this Sunday, remember that dedicated federal employees in my district & across the country are prohibited from taking previously scheduled vacation over the holidays w/ family. All because Trump is delusional & throwing a temper tantrum. Outrageous & unfair.

    For the wall’s $5.7 billion, every child in America could have access to Universal Pre-K. Yet when we propose the SAME $, we’re told Universal Edu is a “fantasy”& asked “how are you going to pay for it” Education is an investment in society that yields returns. Walls are waste.

    With $5.7B, you could: -- Cover 852,017 uninsured Americans or -- Fund universal pre-K plan (options b/w $2B-$12B) Granted you'd want these be recurring expenses rather than annual, but GOP also wants $25 billion for wall -- Repairing Flint's water pipes: $55 million

    🤔 , didn't you say you would be "proud to shut it down" on national TV 10 days ago? There's a no return policy on this shutdown gift. You've given us 2 this year already. Democrats don’t want it. Republicans don’t want it. The American people don’t want it.

    The Democrats now own the shutdown!

    What a fitting way for this GOP led Congress to end. Nothing has changed. Trump is delusional. The wall is still a non-starter. Fund the government.

    should continue to address key elements of our outdated federal marijuana policy, like decriminalization & expungement for non-violent drug offenses. We need to do more to recognize human potential & transform our justice system from punishment to rehab.

    The has that name for a reason, as it's merely the first step toward long overdue reform. After decades, it's time to finally address the worst aspects of this broken system like mandatory minimums, unreasonable sentences, & programs to reduce recidivism rates.

    Happy Holidays from Donald Trump! Today's present is throwing the hungry under the bus. With 40 million Americans struggling with hunger, we should be making it easier, not harder, to feed those in need.

    Our infrastructure is literally crumbling and the economic fallout from failure will cost billions. That's why it’s so critical that we deliver a national infrastructure package in the coming Congress and 🚇 3/3

    In 20 yrs he could never admit failures or acknowledge that his numbers never added up, despite the cheerleading of WSJ & Fox News. He was complicit in Trump undermining the credibility & integrity of our Democracy. It is a sad end for a nice guy who just could not deliver.

    There is no debate. Ryan's legacy: Exploded the deficit w/ reckless gov't spending ✅ Made a hash of the tax code w/ GOP tax scam & increased income inequality✅ Pushed Trump's anti-immigrant agenda ignoring the plight of desperate families✅ Assaulted the healthcare system✅

    CBP is becoming increasingly hostile toward anyone in the cannabis industry coming from Canada, threatening a lifetime ban. My bill, the MAPLE Act, fixes this unfair, out of date policy which has no place in a rapidly evolving cannabis reform landscape.

    When launched their assault on the soon after assuming control of Congress & WH, I predicted they would accelerate the movement by 10 yrs. W/ this latest court ruling putting the ACA in more jeopardy, they cut that time frame in half. (1/3)

    Zinke & this admin’s legacy is one of damaging our public lands for the enrichment of the few & undermining protections for our environment & wild creatures. Now, will they get someone worse? House D’s will keep the spotlight on these reckless people & fight them at every turn.

    Ryan Zinke to resign as interior secretary, Trump says; Zinke had faced allegations of misconduct involving a land development deal
