House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending. The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs. Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Jeezus! When Gonzales is the voice of reason . . . www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes. Unacceptable.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Having a heart for humanity, Mother Earth and all her inhabitants, is truly exhausting in today’s political climate. To see many people so disconnected from each other and our obligation (privilege) to care for one another is physically and emotionally difficult. So thankful for this new community.🦋

Russell Vought's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a “miracle drug” backed by an agency the top Trump appointee is now attacking.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

Trump is attempting to cut funding for research to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious diseases. As the home of the Mayo Clinic, we know that medical research saves lives. Minnesota Republicans should stand up for the health and wellbeing of our state. abcnews.go.com/Health/billi...

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.  We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

Worth the watch!

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

Letitia James of New York, along with 11 other state attorneys general, announced plans to sue over a cost-cutting initiative that gave young aides to Elon Musk extensive access to critical federal computer systems.

My statement on a federal judge pausing the Trump Administration’s sham resignation buyout offer:

As we saw in his last term, President Trump wants to eliminate the separation of church and state. Everyone has the right to religious freedom, not just the select few who practice this administration’s preferred brand of Christianity.

Jeff Bezos’s $10 billion climate and biodiversity fund has halted its funding of one of the world’s most important climate certification organizations, amid broader concerns US billionaires are “bowing down to Trump” and his anti-climate action rhetoric. from @theguardian.com via @climatedesk.org

President Trump has wasted no time attacking our fundamental rights — and we've wasted no time taking action against his administration. Watch our recent town hall to learn more and find out how you can join the fight.

Exactly.

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his attempt to shut down asylum. No president has the authority to override the protections Congress has granted to people seeking safety at the border.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
