Jamie Brown, a nurse from Michigan, told me that she sees patients go without care every day because they can't afford it. We're the richest country in the history of the world. That is unacceptable.

EVERY student is entitled to a free, fair, and equal education. Rather than supporting schools, this Administration wants to use its slashed resources to investigate and litigate policies that make the classroom safe for all students.

RFK Jr. is a disaster for the health of Americans.

Republicans always find money for wars, but never to invest in Americans.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Republicans are inflicting pain on Americans because they fail to see an issue with ICE and its recklessness. I stand ready to do both: pay TSA and other workers while reining in ICE.

Honoring veterans means more than awards and medals, it means respecting their healthcare. Trump MUST direct the VA to back off of rules that would diminish care and cut benefits.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not use their positions to enrich themselves. I'm joining my colleagues in banning stock trading for these individuals, because no elected official should use their access and the public trust to profit.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

People have been killed by ICE. No accountability, no funding.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

ICE and DHS agents are stomping on the rights of Americans while covering their faces, with zero repercussions for their actions. Accountability and impeachment must happen if we want our communities, families, and country to be safe.

1155

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Today, my Democratic colleagues and I stood in protest at ICE headquarters, outraged by the roughly 50 people killed at the hands of their agents. Reform and accountability NOW.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Americans must be able to protest this regime safely, without fearing for their lives or being logged into a government database.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Secretary McMahon has used the Department of Education to discriminate against trans students. While we were both speaking in front of the Supreme Court, I told her yet again to stop these attacks and to restore the Department.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

It is our responsibility as Americans to acknowledge the basic fact: that trans people exist and matter. @equality.house.gov

14014

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

The Supreme Court must recognize the dignity and existence of trans students and provide them the same opportunities as their peers — that includes sports. @equality.house.gov

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Secretary Noem and President Trump cannot hide from this, and the American people know what they saw.

2228

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

This senseless, state-funded violence stains the moral fabric of our nation. Renee Nicole Good's memory must be honored by demanding accountability from ICE and those empowering their lethal tactics.

2209

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Republicans have created a healthcare crisis and now want to put doctors in prison. This is an attack ALL Americans should be against to save healthcare for millions of people.

23215

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

The President is targeting members of Congress for reminding our military of their obligation to the Constitution. This moment requires everyone — including Republicans — to lower the temperature and call out this violent rhetoric.

34616

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Republicans have no solutions for the American people. No solutions to lower the cost of healthcare, groceries, or to preserve the American dream. I will continue to fight back.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

George Retes is a U.S. Army veteran and citizen who was detained by ICE for 3 days, despite clearly identifying himself. But this injustice hasn't changed how he sees his service to our country. It was a true honor to hear his story firsthand.

Americans go without paychecks, Trump’s turning the White House into his pet construction project.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Trump and Linda McMahon are patrolling speech on college campuses and threatening to withhold federal funding if professors or students speak their mind. They must stand down.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

States are going to have to increase the cost of college to make up for the LARGEST CUT to Medicaid and SNAP.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

There is a Golden Age in America, but just for Republicans and Trump at the White House.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

We need 4 Republicans to fight for their constituents and protect health care for tens of thousands in their communities. Rep. Kim, Rep. Calvert, Rep. Valvado -- join Americans in rejecting this Big, Ugly Bill.

To meet arbitrary deportation quotas, masked ICE agents are assaulting and detaining immigrants who are trying to provide for their families. The assault of a landscaper, and father of 3 Marine Corps veterans, should alarm us all.

99630

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

ICE has been directed to detain and deport immigrants with no regard for process or public safety. While many Americans want to see immigration law enforced, it cannot come at the cost of creating panic or social unrest.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Trump is directing ICE and DHS to inflame the situation in LA.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Last week, House Republicans passed their budget bill which puts over 44,000 of our neighbors at risk of losing their healthcare. Cutting coverage and raising costs is not what we need.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I voted no on the Republican's budget which cuts funding for basic needs to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Read my full statement.

Republicans claim they're addressing antisemitism while the Trump Administration actively dismantles and defunds the office charged with protecting students' civil rights. They are actively making campuses less safe for Jewish students and passing the blame.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

The AFL-CIO reports that the unstable stock market is tanking the retirement savings of the blue collar, middle and working class union members they represent. Americans are hurting because of the policies implemented by Trump.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Andry must be freed. If he can be disappeared to a foreign prison without due process, it can happen to anyone.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

I am proud to have the support of @hrc.org in reintroducing the Equality Act. The time is now to pass this landmark bill to fully protect Americans regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Proud to be with Leader Jeffries and Sen. Booker on the steps of the Capitol. Cuts to Medicaid will be devastating for seniors, vets, middle-class people, and so many more.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Elon Musk must be fired by this Administration by May 30th. He is an unelected billionaire hurting the people who need the most help. It is time to fire Elon Musk.

I led a group of House Democrats to demand answers from the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, on her illegal efforts to undermine public education. Only Congress can shut down Department — not Trump or McMahon. We will keep speaking out and fighting for students.

47321

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Secretary McMahon cannot answer basic questions about when she plans to illegally shut down the Department of Education. I confronted her about it, and instead of locking us out like last time, she ran away.

29270117

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Donald Trump's illegal executive order to dismantle the Department of Education has been signed, and my Republican colleagues have been silent. They are bent on destroying public education.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Should someone making $36,000/year lose out on thousands in overtime pay? Trump thinks so.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

My family's story of service in the 442nd Regiment has been republished on the Army's website. I am calling for accountability in the Department of Defense in ensuring no other stories are diminished from our history.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I implore Senator Schumer to change course and stop the Republican plan to further empower Trump and Musk to enact drastic government cuts. Read the full letter here: takano.house.gov/download/314...

Financial Aid officers and civil right attorneys... these are people this Administration have fired. Our students are less safe today than they were yesterday.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

DOGE cuts have impacted the veterans crisis line. If a veteran is suffering with their mental health, someone should be there to answer the phone -- it's not waste, fraud, or abuse. Watch my full conversation with Rep. Mike Thompson: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRTj...

Dismantling the Department of Education will decimate public schools, funding for special education, federal student loans, and civil rights protections for students. Read my full statement.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

83,000 people who serve our veterans are slated to be fired. Their salaries won't be used for veteran care, it'll be used for tax breaks to billionaires. Disgraceful.

Rep. Mark Takano @repmarktakano.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

It shouldn't be controversial to stand on the side of conservation and common sense. That's why I'll always fight for the Inland Empire to protect its environment and the people that live there. @lcv.org

The Trump Administration is so lawless that even Republicans are scared.
