Trump ousts Noem as frustrations build among White House officials, GOP lawmakers | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Thursday on social media he was pushing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem out of her position and would name Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Kristi Noem is OUT. Now let’s see if Republicans are finally ready to get serious about bipartisan immigration reform. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/p...

Democrats are on the House floor NOW fighting for a bipartisan War Powers Resolution because Trump is not a king. He cannot drag the American people to war without Congressional authorization. www.youtube.com/USHouseClerk...

Today, I joined with #USPS leaders and community members to unveil a new commemorative stamp honoring “the Greatest”, Muhammad Ali. Not only was he a decorated heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and a fearless champion for justice and equality—he was also my friend.

The price of a gallon of gas spiked overnight in the U.S., and drivers overseas are filling up tanks The average price for a gallon of gasoline jumped 11 cents overnight in the U.S. And drivers in Europe waited in line to fill their tanks with fuel.

Trump's war of choice is already costing us. Families are paying more at the pump and small businesses are feeling the squeeze because this Administration wants everyday Americans to foot the bill. apnews.com/article/iran...

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the generations of women who have challenged injustice, broken barriers, shaped our communities, and inspire us to keep moving forward. Let’s continue to celebrate their contributions today and every day.

Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.

Trump said our nation is “richer and stronger than ever.” Maybe he should ask my constituents who are spending an additional:
 
$2,024 on basic living expenses
$433 on housing costs
$300 on groceries
$1,700 to pay for Trump’s tariff war

The State of the Union is chaos. While Republicans enable ICE brutality, gut health care, and drive up costs from groceries to rent, Democrats are fighting to restore ACA tax credits, reverse Trump's tariffs, and push real ICE reform - because you deserve better than this.

Rep. Meeks on the Republican-led DHS Shut Down YouTube video by Gregory Meeks

Republicans shut down DHS by refusing a bipartisan deal to control ICE. They would rather halt FEMA's disaster response, increase travel delays at airports, and disrupt Coast Guard missions instead of protecting Americans from ICE's violence. youtu.be/7hxC-gmRWz0

Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate within #NY05 and across the world. May this holy month of reflection and service bring peace and strength to our communities.

I'm saddened by the loss of my dear friend and mentor, Rev. Jesse Jackson. His leadership inspired generations and guided my political career. He’ll be remembered for his dedication to human rights, economic justice and for challenging us all to rise to the occasion and to always “Keep Hope Alive.”

Bessent can’t answer questions, so I’ll show him how it's done.
