Terry lost $45,000 from a CashApp & PayPal scam. Without the CFPB at full force, he doubts he'll get any refund. Trump and Musk want to gut the agency—so corporations can exploit people like him with no consequences.

Pres. Trump & R's in Congress are already starting trade wars & driving up costs for people. Now, their budget would pillage our government & target peoples' healthcare—all to gift $7 billion in tax giveaways to huge corporations & billionaires. It's a cruel, fiscally reckless grift. I voted 'no.'

Republicans should be more worried about losing their next election because of their loyalty to billionaires. The American people will remember. @mcbride.house.gov is 100% on point.

Until Trump and Musk end their attacks on the FTC and Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya, EVERY Senate Democrat must VOTE NO on Mark Meador's confirmation today. Dems cannot endorse the lawless, dangerous actions of this administration. Full rec below.

Republicans are stealing from you so they can lower taxes for the biggest corporations and wealthiest billionaires like Elon Musk. Gold bars for them and crumbs for us. That’s why I’m voting NO on the Republican budget bill that betrays the middle class.

I’m on my way to vote against the next step in the House Republicans’ budget framework that would make way for the largest Medicaid cut in history, all to give billionaires tax breaks.

Donald Trump is going back and forth on tariffs, making the markets volatile and using our economy to wage his own egotistical trade war. Republicans don't care about you, they're playing games with the money you earned so they can give handouts to billionaires and corporations.

Donald Trump’s tariffs are destroying our economy and hurtling us toward a recession, maybe a depression. This is pure madness, and unless Congressional Republicans take action, millions of families are going to be devastated by higher costs and lost jobs. www.reuters.com/markets/us/g...

NEW POLL in collaboration with @dataforprogress.org: A majority of voters — including Independents by a 2-to-1 margin — say Trump’s tariffs will hurt Americans. These tariffs are wreaking havoc on working families. It’s time for Congress to start paying attention.

🚨 In one of the first national polls (per @dataforprogress.org & @boldprogressives.org) conducted since Trump's tariff announcement: By a 2 to 1 (60% to 31%) margin, independents say Trump’s tariffs will hurt Americans -- and 55% of overall voters agree.

Today, I joined public servants, leaders, and so many others rallying against the gutting of critical public services & attacks on sacred worker rights. We refuse to sit quietly as they plunder our govt—all while throwing more fiscally reckless tax handouts to powerful corporations & the ultra rich.

Trump loves a villain. Even when they're totally made-up. Because he loves to say he's the only one who can fix it. But he's got it all wrong. The villains are the corrupt elites who’ve had too much power for far too long. And the hero is the American people.

Incredible. @gregcasar.bsky.social held a town hall in Chip Roy's district with 400+ people this weekend. The message he brought: Trump, Musk and Republicans are stealing from your Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Nothing about DOGE is a revolution–it’s a systematic dismantling of our government. Elon Musk is stealing people’s Social Security and veterans benefits. He’s stealing from you.
