Every single Democrat voted against this week’s budget slashing Medicaid. It would have taken just 1 more Republican to join us and kill this dangerous resolution. We must keep putting pressure on Republicans – Medicaid helps all of our districts.

Gaza is not “beachfront property.” It’s also not a playground for billionaires.

Last night, House Republicans voted to cut Medicaid, SNAP, retirements and tear away the social safety net Americans rely on to survive — while cutting taxes up to $4.5 trillion for the wealthy. Shameful.

Polls show Donald Trump’s popularity is dropping. Even Americans who voted for him believe President Trump is overstepping his presidential power. The voice of the people is more powerful than any individual. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

President Trump is creating chaos so you don’t notice the sky-high price of eggs — if you can find them on the shelves. So you don’t notice inflation hit a 7-month high. So you don’t notice an unelected billionaire is running things, not the president.

NIH funds lifesaving research. Cutting NIH means cutting research for childhood cancer – these NIH-funded trials can be a parent’s last hope. Republicans want to line billionaires’ pockets instead of helping sick kids.

A federal judge will rule on President Trump’s “buyout” offer to federal employees today. I’ve been urging federal employees NOT to take this offer. Read how these cuts will hurt Black workers in my column with the Indianapolis Recorder: indianapolisrecorder.com/a-black-work...

I’ve been urging federal workers to hold out — do NOT take the proposed “buyout.” Trump and Musk do not have the legal power to make these promises, and I’m fighting to ensure Indiana’s 24,000 federal workers keep their jobs.

President Trump's proposal to remove Palestinians from Palestine so he can “take over” Gaza for redevelopment is a blatant endorsement of ethnic cleansing. I stand against these egregious actions. We must change course immediately.

Ending birthright citizenship by executive order is unconstitutional, plain and simple. Trump cannot just decide to change the Constitution without Congress or ratification by a majority of the states. I will vehemently oppose any measures to end birthright citizenship.

Trump's Justice Department ordered an immediate halt to all new civil rights cases or investigations — an abdication of the constitutional duty to uphold the law. He wants to pretend discrimination doesn't exist. It does. He thinks this will hurt our resolve. It won't.
