The Republican tax bill won’t just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE. The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA, and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors. Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

What do you know? Secretary 🧠🪱 released a report with made-up sources. This fully discredits the MAHA Commission report. RFK Jr. is a deranged conspiracy theorist, so no one should be surprised by his lies, but we should still call them out.

Sometimes, economic policy can be complicated, but right now, it's a plain matter of fact that Trump alone is pushing this country toward a recession. Trump's tariffs are a tax on everyone—they'll lead to bare shelves and painful layoffs. Republicans must end this trade war.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

We’re with you, Senator Van Hollen. In America, we don’t send people to foreign prisons for life with no trial and no due process. We’ll keep fighting. This is about protecting our democracy.

This administration is gutting the CDC, FDA, and HHS, putting our public health at risk—especially amid the ongoing measles outbreak and the spread of avian flu. I'm proud to stand with my fellow Democratic Doctors to call out this reckless move. schrier.house.gov/media/press-...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
