Speaker Mike Johnson is "crushed by his workload."

Bitch, please! You've been on a self-conferred vacation the past few months.

A man of immense character, the passing of Mark Mellman is a tremendous loss for the Jewish community, the Democratic Party, and our nation.

My prayers are with his wife Mindy and the rest of his family. May his memory be a blessing.

Families don’t stop needing food just because Washington experiences a funding lapse. That’s why I introduced the Food Bank Emergency Support Act — to ensure that even when federal funding stalls, families can count on access to food. Our pantries need support to respond quickly and effectively.

Today’s ruling is a win for the rule of law. The court made it clear: a rogue, unlawfully appointed prosecutor can’t weaponize federal cases for partisan gain. These charges against Comey and Letitia James never should’ve been filed — and this decision ends the political vendetta.

Grateful to the National Guard members & law enforcement officers whose quick action brought the situation under control.

Violence like this has no place in our communities or in our country.

For 162 years, we have answered President Lincoln's call to give thanks — even in turbulent times.

Today, as we face tests to our unity, to our democracy, and to our Constitution, let us be grateful for our freedom and, together, use it for good.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I am horrified to hear that two National Guardsmen were shot this afternoon in Washington D.C.

I’m grateful for law enforcement’s quick response — Adam and I are praying that the guardsmen make a full recovery as we await further information on their condition.
