The GOP tax bill would whack working people to help pay for a tax cut for the ultra-rich. In MD alone, 160K people could lose health insurance by 2034 — and 129K are at risk of losing SNAP benefits that help put food on their tables. We must defeat this in the Senate.

“MAHA” is a cringey rebrand effort and a superficial one at that. The actual policies being pushed are directly counter to the stated intent of their 70 page report. Save yourself the read. Also 70 pages to tell us what we already know…let’s save the trees too. @msnbc.com

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Economist Robert Reich points out that Americans making between about $17K & $51K will lose about $700 a year. On average, Americans with incomes of less than $17K will lose more than $1,000 a year. But if you are among the top 0.1% of earners, you’re in luck: you’ll gain nearly $390Ka year. GOP👎

We already know Republicans want to gut Medicaid to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Now the nonpartisan CBO says their plan would add so much to the deficit that it would force huge cuts to MEDICARE too. They've put health care on the chopping block.

There’s been a lot of drama from House Republicans today, but it boils down to this: They’re working around the clock to cut taxes for billionaires like Elon Musk while gutting Medicaid and vital services that benefit all Americans. It’s Exhibit A of the Great Trump Betrayal.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Today marks two months since the Senate unanimously passed my bill with Senator Collins to fix the D.C. budget time bomb set off by House Republicans. If they don't pass this bill, D.C. won't be able to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more. They must act.

A dangerous politicalization of intelligence — right out of the “Dear Leader” playbook. Punishing nonpartisan analysts because they won't bend facts to fit the president's narrative will wreck our intelligence community and endanger our country.
