Our light rail is breaking records! 🏆⚽️ House Republicans wanted to defund public transit funding entirely–I didn’t let them. Let’s keep building!

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.

Today marks four years since Republicans ripped away the national right to abortion. Every single Republican in the Senate helped enable this new and horrifying reality. I'm not going to let Americans forget.

Kaitlyn’s heartbreaking story is not the exception; it’s the reality Republican abortion bans have created. Women deserve better.

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.

Abortion bans kill women. More from @alexismjpp.bsky.social at today’s forum to hold Republicans accountable for the chaos and pain they have unleashed on American women.

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.

"Four years after Dobbs, people still need abortions. They are still getting abortions. The difference is that they now have to travel farther, wait longer, spend more money, and overcome more obstacles to obtain the same health care." Chicago Abortion Fund's Megan Jeyifo

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.

Almost 4 years from the day Republicans ripped away the national right to abortion, women are speaking out and fighting back to shine a bright and burning spotlight on the pain the GOP has inflicted on women in this country. Watch live:

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. 🇺🇸🏞️

North Carolina Indiana Ohio Oklahoma West Virginia These are some of the states with the LARGEST drops in health care coverage—all represented by Republicans who voted AGAINST lowering YOUR health care costs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

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.

Trump wants to put RFK Jr., the guy who said "autism destroys families" in charge of special education for K-12 students with disabilities—absolutely NOT.

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.

While you unplug practically everything in your house to save on your electricity bill, Trump wants to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build himself a ballroom at the White House.

📢 Trump's only plan to keep Social Security solvent is to cut your benefits. Trump has now twice failed to propose a plan in his budget, and one of his top budget officials refuses to say why.

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.

Another broken promise from Trump. Apparently there is no money for your health care but there is about $300 million of YOUR tax dollars for his gold-plated ballroom.

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.

Trump is cheering on a bad deal to end a war with Iran he should have NEVER started. American servicemembers killed and injured. Thousands of civilians killed. Billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire. All for a worse deal than what Obama negotiated without dropping a single bomb.

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it. ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.

Exposing Americans to toxic chemicals is NOT "Making America Healthy Again." And this isn't the only time Trump & his goons have put your health at risk to pad the pockets of giant corporations. We need an EPA that looks out for families, NOT billionaires.

So much for only going after violent criminals. Trump's DHS has no oversight or accountability. It is out of control, and Republicans just cut ICE another $70 BILLION check, no questions asked. The American people have been clear: enough is ENOUGH.

Democrats forced votes to BAN Trump’s slush fund to pay insurrectionists. Republicans blocked it—giving Trump the green light to use YOUR taxpayer dollars to pay convicted cop beaters and insurrectionists. It's disgusting and corrupt.
