BREAKING: A judge has dismissed the criminal case against James Comey without prejudice. Rules Lindsey Halligan has been invalidly appointed.

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

Good news: This week, The Trump Administration backed off plans to kick thousands of seniors off their disability benefits. I will always fight to protect Arizonans' hard-earned Social Security.

BIG COURT WIN that didn’t get a lot of attention last week: A federal court rejected Trump’s attempt to bring back a defamation lawsuit against CNN as “meritless.” The supposed defamation? Correcting Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

In March, @RepDWStweets, @RepLindaSanchez, and I led 59 Members demanding the IRS stop illegally sharing taxpayer information with DHS.

A federal judge has now blocked this unlawful practice.

We sounded the alarm on day one, and we’ll keep fighting to stop the weaponization… https://t.co/5294HQCgHJ

House Republicans are in free fall. The American people are done with these extremists.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

Trump is attempting to use the Pentagon as his personal attack dog.

Just days after calling for violence against members of Congress.

This is what dictators do.

I stand with Sen. Kelly, as should any American who doesn’t want to be ruled by a King. https://t.co/s4gOHW7o4X

Donald Trump’s November of losing continues:

11/4 – loses elections across the country

11/14 – loses @mtgreenee

11/18 – loses vote on the Epstein Files

11/24- loses the Comey and Tish James cases

Is this what he meant by ‘getting tired of winning’? https://t.co/GTUhWcr6dQ

Today would be a great day for Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files.

I fear that—nearly four years into this war—far too many people, including some of our very own leaders, have lost sense of the dimensions and stakes of this conflict.

Vladimir Putin is a thug and a butcher.

And Trump’s so-called “peace plan” gives this thug and butcher just…

Met with the Newport Fishermen’s Wives & the Coast Guard before today’s #2025townhall in Lincoln County to ask why the search-&-rescue helicopter was pulled out of town. What we heard is unnacceptable. I’ll keep battling to get this life-and-death asset back where it belongs. pic.twitter.com/u02QhM89q7
— Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) November 23, 2025

Months ago, Secretary Rubio told me in @houseforeign.bsky.social that “no children are dying on our watch.” That’s not true. Trump & Rubio’s foreign aid cuts have led to over 600,000 deaths worldwide. We can’t walk away from our global leadership.

Who is most likely to drop off insurance when rates more than double next year because of Republicans in DC? Healthy people. That sends the price of insurance UP across the board and leaves people uncovered. It’s a lose-lose.

Helicopter tourism creates noise, pollution, and safety risks for all New Yorkers.

Trump isn’t just firing more Veterans than any President in history—

He’s cancelling contracts with Veteran-owned small businesses that help cancer patients…

…and forcing them to consider selling their cars just to pay their employees.

Truly despicable. https://t.co/Ym42D7ugA1
— Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) November 23, 2025

An average family of four now pays over $1,000 each month for groceries. But Trump’s “main priority” is building his ballroom.

He doesn’t care about whether you have to put something back on the shelf after checking the price tag. https://t.co/zO4RvTv8Tw

.@usedgov's job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive.

Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months. https://t.co/N0nWym8Osj

Legislation

.@RepDanGoldman and I are introducing legislation that puts our communities first by ensuring their voices are heard in the fight to curb the harms caused non-essential helicopters.

This week, I demanded the release of a 2019 phone call transcript between President Trump and MBS.

This obviously touched a nerve.

The very next day, the Trump admin spewed lies to silence and intimidate me. It’s not going to work. (1/4)

The Trump Admin has conducted 21 unauthorized military strikes in the Caribbean & East Pacific—killing 83 people—without giving Americans a full explanation. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the declassification & public release of documents justifying these airstrikes.

Family farms and specialty farmers are hurting worse than ever because of the president’s reckless trade wars. That’s why I joined dozens of House Democrats in calling on the administration to provide immediate relief to these hardworking farmers nationwide. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

Media appearances

I was the first Senator to call on RFK Jr. to resign or be fired. This is a man who has no background in science or medicine, and his dangerous actions and rhetoric will cause children to die.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

There's no reason for border agents to be in North Carolina. It's dividing our communities and putting children and families at risk. I joined WPTF Radio’s Lisa Price to further discuss this unnecessary use of federal resources, and our community’s response. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN3L...

From Colorado to Virginia and from New Jersey to Mississippi, the people made their voices heard in the elections.

Today, I gathered faith and school leaders, elected officials, and a business owner to discuss how immigration raids are hurting our people. CBP's actions in North Carolina do not keep our community safe.

In 90 seconds Jon Tester explains Citizens United—"the worst decision the Supreme Court's ever made"—and what Montana is doing to stop the flood of dark money into politics.

I shared this clip of former Sen. Jon Tester because I thought it was worth your attention. Citizen’s United has been a scourge on our political process, and he does an excellent job articulating what that looks like in today’s world.

As always, thank you for stopping by to read and comment!

WOW. Federal prosecutors just dismissed charges against the Chicago woman shot by a Border Patrol agent five times. They accused her initially of pulling a gun on them (which video apparently showed was false) then said she rammed the agents’s car. Now they’re dropping charges. https://t.co/xAoqEr4S51
