1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

Trump and Republicans can lie about their plan to cut taxes for the rich, but votes don’t lie. We asked them: will you rule out tax cuts for those making over $1 billion? Republicans voted no. So we tried no tax cuts for $1 billion companies like Amazon? No. That says it all.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are closing Social Security offices, firing the workers, and even shutting down the phone lines. Today I pressed Trump's Social Security nominee if missing checks are just another way to cut benefits. He didn't know... Well I do — I'm voting NO.

They call it the SAVE Act, but what it really does is Stop Americans from Voting Everywhere. They want to make it harder to vote. Point, blank, PERIOD. The best way to stop this anti-voting bill is by making our voices heard. Take action: Email and call your members of Congress!

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.
