As bad economic news piles up, Republicans are laser-focused on tax cuts for their billionaire buddies. Zero focus on inflation, housing costs. qz.com/dow-plunges-...

The American people, who are allergic to extremism, are rightly reacting against the extremes and excesses of a Donald Trump presidency. His poll numbers are on the decline. The Trump honeymoon has all but ended.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

If you want to sell your Tesla cybertruck, you now need to bring $16,000 cash and get nothing. 🤣🤣🤣 However, I’d argue it’s not worth half of that carvana offer.

Trump and Musk slashing entire government agencies is NOT about waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s about finding cash for a $4.5 trillion tax break for a small group of out-of-touch billionaires, including themselves. It’s not right vs. left. It’s wealthy elites vs. normal people.

Yesterday, I had the honor of hosting a Medicaid roundtable at North Hudson Community Action Corp. With proposed cuts threatening essential care for millions—especially kids, seniors, and those with disabilities—it’s critical we stand together to protect Medicaid.

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

Democrats delivered the Postal Service Reform Act to fight for our postal workers and the Postal Service. Trump and DOGE just want to turn the clock back to when he was trying to ruin the Postal Service. We will not stop fighting for the Postal Service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump, Musk, and their minions have lots of plans for tax cuts for the rich. But when it comes to lowering costs for working people? They don't even have "concepts of a plan."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

President Trump and House Republicans promised they would lower costs for everyday Americans. THEY LIED TO YOU. Instead, they announced a new push to cut Medicaid and take health care away from kids, parents, and seniors. #HouseDemocrats won’t let it happen. #RepublicanRipOff

Next week, extreme Republicans will try to jam through a budget plan that would slash funding for AHCCCS in order to give billionaires another massive tax cut. It doesn’t lower costs for Arizonans. It doesn’t put our economy in a better position. It sure as hell doesn’t rein in federal spending.

Reminder: We’re less than three weeks away from a government shutdown. Yet instead of passing bills to keep the government open, Republicans are kowtowing to Trump’s unconstitutional actions and pushing a budget that is just one giant tax cut for the richest of the rich.
