President Trump and the GOP lied to Americans about their "big beautiful bill." Tax on tips? Still there. Tax on overtime? Still there. Tax on Social Security benefits? Still there. The Trump administration continues to help the wealthiest Americans instead of the working Americans.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Ghoulish. She won't even agree to help a worried mother know whether her son is even alive. Andry has been imprisoned without trial for 60 days, held incommunicado by the Salvadoran government as part of a deal where we handed Bukele a metaphorical briefcase of cash to detain hundreds of people!

What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world's collective conscience. History will never forget how our government was complicit in enabling and sustaining this ongoing humanitarian disaster. We must end funding for the Netanyahu war machine.

NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

Schools are using dangerous surveillance technologies from Ed Tech companies to monitor students' private writings and communications, including their texts, emails, and social media. This spying doesn't make students safer, and undermines their privacy and ability to express themselves.

ICE agents ripped Merwil from his family — after admitting they were looking for someone else — and disappeared him into a Salvadoran prison, with no charges and no trial. We won’t stay silent while this administration tears our communities apart.

NEW: If you paid taxes for 2024, you likely paid $3,707 for weapons and war, from Pentagon contractors to nuclear weapons. That's more than you paid for Medicaid ($1,823), the Department of Education ($787), and the National Institutes of Health ($149) combined. We need to reprioritize. #TaxDay
