U.S. Representative Al Green

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

FEMA leader David Richardson's ham-handed approach to disaster relief is painfully unacceptable. During the recent flooding in Texas, he was reportedly unreachable for 24 hours and has joked about deliberately delaying aid to Democratic-led states. He must be held accountable.

Rep. Al Green: 37 children lost their lives in the Guadalupe River tragedy... and still no hearing from Homeland Security? Why aren't we talking about the real needs of Texas families? Watch Rep. Green’s full remarks on YouTube by clicking here: youtu.be/sdx0-n2aavI?...
