Billionaires have taken over our federal government. Meanwhile, people are paying more for gasoline, housing, and groceries. Every single Republican who voted to raise costs for families to finance tax giveaways for billionaires must be held accountable at the ballot box.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

They’re not calling it an Obamacare repeal, but don’t be fooled: the Republican tax bill slashes Medicaid and eats away at the ACA — kicking millions off their health care — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. It’s the Great Betrayal and we’re fighting 24/7 to stop it.

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery. Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration. I'm pressing for answers.

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits. If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace. Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Last week, CDC didn’t go along with the attempted pediatric vaccine schedule change by tweet. That’s good and important! But it probably only buys us a few more months of (very patchy) access for kids. FDA is the real power broker here. We need pushback on the proposed licensing changes.

Marcelo Gomes should’ve been at Milford High’s graduation—not sitting in an ICE detention center. This isn’t public safety. It’s cruelty. It’s about instilling fear into our communities. I join the Milford community in demanding the Trump admin and ICE free Marcelo.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
