Good morning from the only place on earth where you can cut heath insurance for 17 million people, still somehow add $5 trillion to the debt, and call that a big accomplishment. 😒

If Nancy Pelosi decides to run again, challenging her in a primary, from either the left or center, would be a profoundly stupid use of time and resources. We save democracy by defeating *Republicans* in the midterms. That’s the assignment. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

Retirement Hovers Over Nancy Pelosi and Her City, San Francisco.

Nancy Pelosi has represented San Francisco in Congress for nearly four decades. Challengers are lining up as she weighs running again or retiring.

Louder for the people in the back: Members of Congress shouldn’t be trading stocks—period. My Trust in Congress Act will ban it once and for all. Let’s get it passed.

🚨 JUST wrapped an urgent press conference on Trump & Musk’s plan to gut the Department of Education. Fewer teachers. Bigger classes. Less funding for RI schools. Unacceptable. The richest people in the world cannot be allowed to cut education to pay for their tax cuts.

Despite Marjorie’s best efforts, 80% of Congress voted to fund USAID. President Musk has no legal ground to shut down an agency Congress overwhelmingly voted to fund.

FBI agents being purged just for doing their jobs and investigating the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol. Elon Musk’s lackeys with no vetting demanding access to classified info. The Senate needs to bring Kash Petel and Pam Bondi in for additional public questioning before any votes.

Trump and the Billionaire Bros said their funding freeze wouldn’t include lifesaving aid. They lied. If the freeze is not reversed immediately, thousands of people including children will die for no good reason. Trump needs to end this madness now. t.co/sGUM6Aex6N

They are back-tracking because we spoke up. Good. But make no mistake: their OMB memo ordered a freeze of *all* grants. The Medicaid and SNAP portals went dark. Head Start providers couldn't draw funds. This was not a coincidence. It was their plan. And they screwed up bigly.

President Trump just released an extreme and illegal order to freeze all federal funding for transportation, education, disaster relief & more. Where are House Republicans? Waking up after having a big party at the Trump’s Doral Resort in Florida. Talk about being out of touch.

This morning’s thought: The chattering class thinks that Trump is not *actually* going to do massive tariffs. They say he can’t possibly mean it because prices will go up and businesses will hate it. It’s just bluster or a series of negotiating tactics. They’re all wrong. He means it. Thread:

Governors representing states across our country traveled to DC for the inauguration and had to watch it on TV in the basement. Meanwhile this group got to sit on stage. It’s already clear Donald Trump doesn’t serve the United States of America, he serves the United Billionaires of America.

This decision to move the inauguration indoors is a total cluster. Thousands of people, including hundreds of Rhode Islanders, paid for airfare and hotels to see the inauguration, knowing full well it would be cold, and now won’t get to see it. Here’s what my office is dealing with: 1/10

The late president made multiple visits to Rhode Island during his time in the White House, including for an energy conference in the fall of 1979.
