Seniors on Medicare are being forced to confront ridiculous red tape to get the procedures they need. AI should NOT be deciding if you get health care. I have a bill to make sure it doesn’t.

This might be the best program you've never heard of. Families that qualify for free or reduced lunch at school can get EBT benefits to help their kids get meals throughout the summer. WATCH⬇️

If you're born in America, you're an American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Today's decision is a victory but also a reminder that our constitutional values are under fierce attack by far-right extremists. Democracy is an action. Use your voice and your vote to protect American democracy.

Trump promised again and again his ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime, and now he's stealing $400 million of your tax dollars. That's illegal. Congress needs answers.

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it. Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

Republicans want women to be silent about the suffering happening under GOP abortion bans. I will never stop uplifting the voices of women. We have to make sure their stories are impossible to ignore.

The biggest form of theft in America? Corporate wage theft. Workers are robbed of an estimated $50 BILLION EVERY YEAR! And Trump's answer has been to give the green light for employers to steal from workers—so I've got a bill to make sure workers get the pay they've earned.

Inflation has surged to its highest level in years. Thanks to Trump's tariffs and war. This President is intentionally making life harder and more expensive for Americans. All while spending your taxpayer dollars on vanity projects and war.

Trump wants the Postal Service to REFUSE to mail ballots if states don't bow down to Trump and hand over their voter rolls. Insane and unconstitutional. That's exactly why a federal judge just BLOCKED Trump's EO attacking vote by mail. I’ll keep fighting to protect our democracy. 🇺🇸

Does Donald Trump hate nurses? Sure feels like it since he made sure nursing is no longer categorized as a “professional degree.” That makes it so nurses have LESS access to federal student aid. I'm voting to OVERTURN this asinine policy.

Far-right Republicans and anti-abortion activists aren't even trying to HIDE their extremism—they want to ARREST women for getting an abortion. This is beyond absurd and cruel, and America's pro-choice majority MUST understand what's at stake.

I will fight every day to lift up women’s voices and keep up the fight for abortion rights. We will never be quiet. We will never forget. And we will never accept Republicans’ deadly new status quo.

I will not let Republicans off the hook for the pain they have caused and the chaos they have unleashed by overturning Roe v. Wade. You voted to confirm Trump’s SCOTUS nominees? You own this chaos and suffering.

Texas’s abortion ban forced Samantha to carry a very wanted, but non-viable pregnancy to term–denying her the health care she needed and putting her life in danger. This is the reality Republicans created.

From pushing for dangerous fetal personhood bills to denying lifesaving care to pregnant women, anti-abortion Republicans show every single day that overturning Roe was never going to be enough.

Every single Senate Republican helped enable the new and horrifying reality women face under Dobbs. They don’t just want women to stay pregnant—they want them to stay silent. But not on my watch. I will hold a burning spotlight on what Republicans have done EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Republicans made a CHOICE. They passed a law to rip away health care from millions. They REFUSED to save the ACA tax credits. All while they showered billionaires & giant corporations with TRILLIONS in tax cuts. Now more than 5 million Americans have lost health care.

Every time you see a headline about how Trump is pushing for drilling on public lands, remember that he promised Big Oil whatever they wanted if they spent $1 billion to get him elected. Save our public lands. Put America above Big Oil. 🇺🇸🏞️

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here: Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. Spread the word. Stand up for science.

They're trying to kill women for having abortions and even using some types of birth control. I know, it sounds crazy—but that is exactly what this Republican bill coming out of North Carolina would legalize. WATCH ⬇️

The unhinged and insane conspiracy theory that medication abortion is a threat to our waterways is no longer just a fringe right fever dream—it's now being pushed by Republican leaders. Let's be clear: Mifepristone is safe and effective.

Today, on Juneteenth, America marks the end of slavery. It was a real and dark part of our history. But Trump wants to rewrite that history and even honor Confederate traitors. It's a disgrace. America is stronger when we confront our history and work to be better.

UPDATE: Trump is taking another $45 million of taxpayer dollars for his ballroom. We went from a "taxpayer free" ballroom to costing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars. Your costs are rising while he steals everything he can for idiotic vanity projects.

This isn't an exaggeration: Republicans literally kicked KIDS off of food assistance so they could give billionaires more tax breaks. This wasn't an accident this was a deliberate Republican policy CHOICE.

Trump started a reckless war with Iran, created a global economic crisis—and for what? A WORSE deal than Obama made without dropping a single bomb. Apparently, the "Art of the Deal" is to launch pointless wars that end in total surrender and make life more expensive at home.

Putting a baby to work? That's a joke. What's not a joke? Republicans are gutting child labor laws, while Trump has stopped enforcing the ones we have. It shouldn't be cheaper for a company to break child labor laws than to follow them—let's pass my CHILD Labor Act.

Trump's tantrum is a threat to our national security. Pulte is a partisan goon who is so deeply unqualified to be Acting Director of National Intelligence. Keeping him in this position until Trump gets his way is dangerous and unacceptable.

Republicans are pushing for a half-TRILLION-dollar increase for Trump’s war budget and not a single cent more for child care. Trump promised no new wars and lower costs—he broke that promise. Democrats are pushing real solutions to actually make child care affordable.

Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire. Republicans CHOSE to drive up costs and force families to drop insurance. They chose tax cuts for giant corporations and billions for ICE over health care for American families.

14 Republican attorneys general are seriously arguing that medication abortion is a threat to America's waterways. It is as unhinged and insane as it sounds. These people will do or say anything to force women to stay pregnant. America's pro-choice majority needs to get LOUD.
