70% of the benefits will go to the top 5% at the expense of the bottom 40%, a reverse Robin Hood heist that will add trillions of dollars to the national debt, hobbling economic growth. www.aft.org/press-releas...

I just talked to a person at Juan Ciscomani’s office in DC. She told me that only people who “don’t deserve” Medicaid will lose it. She then told me that only people who are in the U.S. “illegally” are being deported. These are the lies they tell as the U.S. is in a death spiral.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

Get up, stand up! Don't give up the fight!

Jeffries: We will stand up today, stand up tomorrow, stand up this week, stand up next week, stand up this month, stand up next month, stand up this year, stand up next year, stand up at all times until we end this national nightmare and restore the American dream for every single person

BREAKING: AOC on GOP bill: “When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this.”

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

It's not really deportation if people are sent to countries where they never lived. It's a human trafficking ring. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

While Trump's tariffs explode costs, his new tax bill will also make health care & groceries more expensive for millions, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires. Worse health care so billionaires can pad their pockets? Every Member of Congress should vote NO on this scam bill.

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

Yesterday. Today. 🤡

Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

That's Exactly What He Did And It Was All Illegal!!

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

So you’re telling us the radical transparency people are against… transparency? www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Tomorrow is Rümeysa Öztürk’s habeas corpus hearing in federal court in Vermont. At the same time, nearly 1,000 other women she was detained with in Louisiana remain in intolerable conditions. ICE has yet to answer my inquiries. I'll keep pushing.

Fun fact: Democratic women make up only 22% of the House of Representatives, but have submitted 52% of the 537 amendments to this heartless reconciliation package. We’re almost 20 hours into this rules debate and still bringing the heat 🔥 and the heart ❤️ to this fight!

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.
