Release the Epstein files, not pedophiles.
BREAKING:

A whistleblower tells House Judiciary Democrats that convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell is in the process of seeking a commutation of her 20-year prison sentence from Donald Trump. tinyurl.com/582addcc

Let’s be clear. Senate Democrats didn’t just surrender in the aftermath of an overwhelming mandate from the American people, they voted to raise your healthcare costs by hundreds or thousands of dollars a month. Shameful and derelict.

If ANY ordinary employee in the US refused to show up to work for 40 days, they’d be fired. 

But House Republicans are doing just that and STILL collecting their paychecks.

They must come back to work and reopen the government.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected, and Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. He is blocking the release of the Epstein files and protecting pedophiles.

As Thanksgiving nears, families should be looking forward to time spent together—not worrying about how to put food on the table. But Republican cuts to healthcare, tariffs, and the longest shutdown in history are making it so much harder for Americans to make ends meet.

We deserve better.

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.*

The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.
From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

Tonight, Americans sent a clear message to Donald Trump, rejecting authoritarianism, lawlessness, and the reverse Robin Hood policies making it harder for us to pay our bills so billionaires can get bigger tax breaks.

Now, we fight like hell to take back the House in ‘26.

Now I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure people in “optimal physical health” don’t regularly need MRIs.

Don’t let all of Trump’s chaos distract you from the fact he still hasn’t released the Epstein files. We must keep fighting for justice and accountability. The survivors, and the American people, deserve nothing less.

The White House just walked back Trump’s deranged and angry threats of defying the courts and clearly violating the Constitution.

It’s long past time that we had a serious conversation about whether Trump is mentally fit to serve as President under the 25th Amendment.

Today is election day! Don’t forget to vote YES on Prop 50 by 8pm tonight. We must stop Republicans from stealing our democracy.

Every day Republicans keep the government closed is another day kids are going hungry. Mike Johnson, bring our Republican colleagues back from vacation and let’s work to reopen the government.

Jim Jordan, once again, is protecting pedophiles.

Bring the House back into session, seat Adelita Grijalva, reopen the government, and release the Epstein Files.

Today is a good day to release the Epstein files.

Happy Halloween! Our theme this year was the Sonic the Hedgehog movie (I’m “Donut Lord” and Dr. Eggman because let’s be honest, I look awesome with a mustache).

Also, my poor attempt to try to carve a Paxton pumpkin (per his request) + my daughter got way too much candy.

Hope you had a great one!

There’s no money to feed hungry children, but somehow Trump was able to find $20 billion for Argentina and hundreds of millions for private jets for Kristi Noem.

#FlashbackFriday to last Halloween, a simpler time when Adam Brody came down to stump for my campaign, making my daughter the happiest girl in the world, and a taco was just a delicious treat and not a tariff investment strategy. 

Happy Halloween everyone!

“The pain register is about to hit level 10…” 
“Pressure mounts on Democrats…”

42 million Americans are about to go hungry, and GOP Speaker Mike Johnson is gleefully celebrating.

For someone who so loudly professes his faith, this is about as un-Christian as you can get.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. My wife Jane, who directs UC Irvine’s Initiative to End Family Violence, has some thoughts on how we can support DV survivors.

Please join us in working to end domestic violence.

Vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4th. Our democracy is at stake.
October 29, 2025 at 10:28 PM
We’re almost a month into a government shutdown. People are missing paychecks and struggling to put food on the table. Meanwhile, the House GOP has been out golfing and on vacation. Unacceptable.
October 29, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Trump is tearing down the foundations of our democracy and building a monument to corruption and greed in its place – all while millions of families are going to lose their health care because of HIS shutdown.
October 29, 2025 at 3:12 PM
28 days of government shutdown. 0 days of justice for the Epstein survivors. 

Mike Johnson must stop protecting pedophiles and release the Epstein files.
