Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

We are witnessing a historic and frequently illegal dismantling of the government by the richest man in the world. Lets check in on the Congressional committee whose job it is to monitor what is happening in the executive branch:

The reckless Republican budget will be debated on the House floor today. It represents the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Children, families, seniors, hospitals and nursing homes will be devastated. House Democrats are a Hard NO.

Trump promised on day one he would bring prices down. More than a month in and gas, groceries, rent, cars, and eggs all cost more... And yet what are Republicans focused on today? Gutting Medicaid so they can give tax cuts for billionaires.

It's insane how much MAGA media/members of Congress lie. They cut a line from @ilhanmn.bsky.social's interview with me, where she condemns GOP members of Congress who say racist things about her as "idiots" & claim she was talking about Americans. The full clip shows what shameless liars they are:

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

Nearly 50% of children in Texas 30 alone will be affected by the Republican Medicaid and CHIP Cuts! Medicaid and The Children's Health Insurance Plan is an important role in my district, over half of my constituents will be affected by this cut!

This Republican administration lies like a rug. They say their budget isn't a tax giveaway for billionaires—it is. The say they aren't gutting Medicaid and hurting their constituents—they are.

Read the room! I called out Rep Brian Jack for talking about tankless water heaters while voting for a budget resolution that betrays the 125,952 constituents in his district that depend on Medicaid for essential care.

Today I convened a roundtable in my district to hear how cuts to the NIH will hurt people—patients, clinical trial participants, and researchers working on lifesaving cures. And how cutting Medicaid coverage is going to mean people will lose care, get sicker, and die.

I’m heading back into the Budget Committee to expose Republicans as they betray poor and working American families. They’re stealing your benefits to pay for their Trump Tax Scam 2.0 — a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to the ultra-rich. We’re fighting to stop them.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The Republican budget cuts taxes for their billionaire donors, while cutting off Medicaid from older Americans in Nursing Homes. Every single Budget Committee Democrat voted against it. And now the battle moves to the House Floor.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

Trump just signed a horrible executive order undoing some of the progress we’ve achieved in ending gun violence. We won’t give up. I’m reminded of the night we slept in the Virginia State Capitol to avoid the armed protestors who sent us death threats. We advocated and our movement won. Onwards!

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million. Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
