“This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability. As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign.

“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They're absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened, and I will fight them with everything that I have.
“I am deeply distressed about the allegations surrounding Congressman Swalwell. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately. I believe he should withdraw from the race.
“These are the ugliest and most serious accusations imaginable. Swalwell should leave the race now so there can be full accountability without doubt, distraction, or delay.
“Hegseth should be fired. He endangered our pilots, he's killing survivors at sea, and now his department is defying a federal court order to let the press do its job. The American people have a right to know what the Pentagon is doing, especially during a war.
“Pam Bondi must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in the Congress. The subpoena was lawful, bipartisan, and named Bondi personally — not by title. The American people have a right to know how the Department of Justice handled the Epstein files, and no one is above the law, including a fired Attorney General trying to dodge accountability.
“The subpoena requires Pam Bondi to appear for a sworn deposition regarding the Department of Justice's handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Her firing does not nullify a valid subpoena. Chairman Comer must publicly reaffirm that Bondi is legally obligated to appear, and Congress must enforce its own subpoenas — otherwise our oversight authority is meaningless.
“Donald Trump's instability is more clear and dangerous than ever. If the Cabinet is not willing to invoke the 25th Amendment and restore sanity, Republicans must reconvene the Congress to end this war.
“If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and senator must be calling for Trump's removal today, based on the 25th Amendment. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions.
“The Epstein files cover up took down Bondi. @RepThomasMassie and I have been calling for accountability since she violated our Epstein Transparency Act. Bondi must still answer to Congress about the remaining documents, why we have no new prosecutions, and why she participated in a cover-up.
“Pam Bondi's disastrous tenure as Attorney General has come to an end, but the consequences of her weaponization of the Justice Department will reverberate for years to come. Under Pam Bondi, the DOJ irresponsibly rubber stamped investigations into Donald Trump's perceived political enemies, tried to coerce states into surrendering their voter rolls, pushed out career prosecutors and civil servants, and dodged accountability and transparency over the Epstein files.
“Pam Bondi was merely a symptom of Donald Trump's chronic allergy to our nation's laws. Pam Bondi oversaw an unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department that brought our nation's rule of law to its knees — countless and baseless political investigations, hundreds of career law enforcement professionals purged, a massive cover-up of the Epstein files.
“Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.
“Donald Trump has once again deployed massive amounts of American firepower abroad without Congressional approval to use military force. We hope, by forcing these votes, we can force some accountability. We need to communicate to the Administration that we're going to insist on accountability even if they don't want it.
“Trump says his goal is to topple the Iranian regime, but the American people are tired of regime-change wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives. Congress must reconvene on Monday to vote on Thomas Massie and my war powers resolution to stop this war.
“Democrats are not going to fund
“Well, I'm not giving ICE or border patrol another dime, given how these agencies are operating
“Homeland Security is not a license to violate the Constitution or our laws
“The constitution grants Americans & immigrants dignity, due process, & protection under the law.
“called for the immediate resignation or dismissal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
“Justice demands that Secretary Kristi Noem resign or be fired immediately. If that does not happen, ...
“We've got a level of funding that makes ICE bigger than a lot of militaries around the world.
“Donald Trump is raising hundreds of millions of dollars to build himself a White House ballroom at a time when millions of American families can barely make ends meet. It's outrageous that the White House won't reveal who's bankrolling Trump's pet project, and that the people's house could be funded by shady figures, corrupt money, and bad actors. This bill will ban contributions from anyone with a conflict of interest, prevent bribery, and ensure we can hold any administration accountable for blatant corruption.
“Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.
