Please call your reps and tell them NOT to fund this government
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

The Epstein files are being withheld from the American people for only one reasonable reason: there IS dirt on Donald J. Trump and his twisted friends in the Epstein files.

ICE shut down the oldest Mexican restaurant in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota -- a city that voted overwhelmingly for Trump (and Pete Hegseth's hometown too)
Feel safer yet?

The White House is staffed from top to bottom with sycophants and enablers. Government lawyers — including federal prosecutors and FBI agents — would be among the most eager and capable government officials available to seize ballots and manufacture allegations of fraud.
Trump wishes he seized ballots in 2020. What does that mean for 2026?

Tonight I spoke on the House Floor to celebrate OSU Wexner Medical Center's new hospital, that I toured this morning. It isn't just a hospital -- it's the future of health care. Columbus is stronger and healthier because of this facility, and I'm proud to celebrate this milestone.

Why is Donald Trump attacking the Fed, and why should we be paying attention?
Because, he’s trying to rig the system, and it could affect your job, savings, and the cost of everything. Oh yeah, and it’s creating opportunities for some to cash out while destabilizing the economy for everyone else.

Susan Collins still hasn’t formally declared whether she’s running for reelection in 2026. She tells @frankthorp.bsky.social it will happen “soon.” She has indicated she plans to run, without making it official. Last cycle Collins made it official in December (2019) before the election year.

Our servicemembers deserve equitable benefits and pay. I’m proud to have introduced the Duty Status Reform Act and looking forward to working with my colleagues to get this done.
House bill would reduce 30 reserve duty statuses to 4
The legislation seeks to simplify an overly burdensome system that lawmakers blame for major disparities in health care, pay and benefits.

No one should lose their sense of outrage about what is happening to our country. This is an effort to create an autocratic state. It's that plain.
Trump is threatening to imprison the Chairman of Federal Reserve simply because he won't enact the rate policy Trump wants.
