Republicans are ready to throw Americans off Medicaid and SNAP so that they can give massive tax breaks to billionaires. Every single Democrat in Congress voted against the Republican tax scam. And Democrats will keep fighting with everything we have for hard working Americans.

The greatest economic effects of the program come from providing free child care, which helps parents save money and frees them to work more hours. With increased savings and earnings, parents spend more money on goods and services, stimulating the economy. #EconSky #edusky

I made sure that President Trump, DOGE, and Secretary Kennedy heard us loud and clear: Do not mess with our first responders and the healthcare of 9/11 survivors. Now they’re backing off their brutal cuts to the 9/11 survivor health program and rehiring the workers.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Where are the articles showing that Trump supporters Thiel and Musk get their money from taxpayers? As they cause all this economic harm to American workers, and corruptly cut into the services we depend on with no oversight - they are making sure no one looks at the billions they get .
