This whole repeated pressure on Democrats to be bipartisan, when anyone paying attention knows damn well the Republicans have been the sticking point for literally decades, is tiresome.

My parents taught me to watch what people do, not what they say. Some of my colleagues in Congress talk about “unity” while blocking critical relief to Americans they don’t like. @HouseDemocrats are working to bring us through this pandemic together.

Bernie Sanders to Punchbowl: "My Republican colleagues use reconciliation to give almost $2 trillion in tax breaks ... They use reconciliation to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act ... You know what? I think we can use reconciliation to protect the needs of working families."

McConnell is threatening to filibuster the Organizing Resolution which allows Democrats to assume the committee Chair positions. It’s an absolutely unprecedented, wacky, counterproductive request. We won the Senate. We get the gavels.

88% of Americans want to reduce the influence of money in politics. The only thing stopping us from getting money out of politics is GOP obstruction. To restore faith in our democracy we must pass the #DemocracyForAll Amendment and #EndCitzensUnited.

Breaking: The Biden administration on Wednesday unfroze $27.4 billion in government funding that former President Trump locked up before leaving office. Biden is up working late, at this rate 90% of Trump's legacy will be gone by Friday.

(Just a friendly reminder that unless we continue to pressure Facebook, Trump's temporary suspension will expire in a few hours and they will almost certainly allow him back. We don't need to do anything today. But maybe tomorrow? Don't forget.)

I am honored today to represent Central Florida at the swearing in of President Biden and Vice President Harris. I am hopeful for the days ahead and eager to get to work. “We may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.”

Donald Trump is, officially, no longer president.
