250 years ago, a band of patriots went to war against a Mad King. They fought for a radically simple idea: This country belongs to its people, not its rulers. 250 years later, our fight continues. Today, we say in America, there are No Kings.

I am horrified by the killing of State Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I am praying for their recovery and the entire Minnesota community. 1/2

Stopping a nuclear armed Iran is a shared priority of both Israel and the United States. Diplomacy is the best path to achieving that goal and avoiding a larger conflict in the region. We need to de-escalate and get back to the negotiating table.

The Big Ugly Bill is the biggest transfer of wealth to the ultra-wealthy in U.S. history. Americans are already struggling to pay their bills. And this is how the GOP responds.

Today's one-two punch from the GOP: taking away Elmo and undermining our safety. They're voting to strip funding from NPR and PBS. This will eliminate free educational programming for kids and a critical source for emergency updates and local news — especially in rural America.

Today, we remember the 49 lives lost in the hate-fueled attack at Pulse Nightclub. 8 years later, the pain remains — and so does the urgent need to root out bigotry and end the cycle of gun violence. We must keep fighting in the memory of these victims and in the pursuit of a safer America.

Follow this math: The GOP is decimating public media — slashing NPR and PBS by $1.1B. At the same time, they're making it easier and cheaper to buy gun silencers — at the cost of $1.5B. They’re burning money, just to make us less safe and less informed.

What else was snuck into the GOP's Big, Ugly Budget? A provision barring health plans on the ACA marketplace from providing abortion coverage. Let's call it what it is: a back door to a national abortion ban. It won’t matter if you’re in a red or blue state. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Republicans' Big, Ugly Budget is a triple threat to the American people. 1. Robbing our kids, seniors, veterans, and families of health care. 2. Leaving many without enough food to eat. 3. And imploding our nation's deficit. Just to hand more tax breaks to billionaires.

Medicaid covers 40% of all births in this country and 40% of health care for all kids. It provides postpartum care in nearly every state and makes reproductive care accessible to more than 16 million women. Remember this every time you hear a Republican pretend to care about family values.
