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.

This is an absolute tragedy. I'm grateful for the first responders on the scene, and my thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those whose lives were lost in this horrific incident.

Dreamers grew up in America. They study, work, and live in America. They make America better, and they belong in America. 🇺🇸 The Dream Act is bipartisan. We should pass it today. There is no need to force these young people to live in fear and uncertainty.

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.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the me he supports the Iran war "strongly." You support this war? You own the consequences: billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire, American servicemembers killed and injured, and economic pain here at home.

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.

Do my Republican colleagues also "love" inflation? I assume so since they continue to vote to protect Trump's tariffs and to continue Trump's war with Iran.

Trump and Republicans can lie but the numbers don't. Inflation is UP and it's a direct result of Trump's tariffs and war with Iran.

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that. I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

Trump doesn't care about how painful and expensive he is making your life. He promised no new wars and lower costs. He BROKE that promise—and he doesn't care. We need to make sure absolutely everyone knows it.

Bill Pulte is a political hack and lapdog for the President. He will do or say anything Trump wants, making him nothing short of a threat to American national security. The stakes are real. Republicans should join us in insisting a serious intelligence official replace Pulte.

Top Republicans like Scott Bessent have pushed for privatizing Social Security. Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, said Social Security is a "Ponzi Scheme." The fight to protect Social Security for all Americans is being fought RIGHT NOW—it's time to STAND UP for Social Security.

It is infuriating just how little Trump cares about the average American family. He is singlehandedly driving up costs through his reckless war of choice with Iran and stupid tariffs. Just remember: Republicans could stop Trump anytime—they're choosing not to.

Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, has called Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme." Now, after passing the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, Speaker Johnson is targeting Social Security & Medicare. All after blowing up the debt to give billionaires tax breaks they don't need.

Let's be clear about what happened: DOGE cut the programs and staff that tracked dangerous outbreaks like screwworm. So this has nothing to do with Joe Biden, but Trump and DOGE definitely screwed our cattle industry.

I told Marco Rubio, to his face, what a dangerous failure his leadership has been: Trump has waged a reckless war and eviscerated American leadership around the world. Oh, but don’t worry—Trump’s face will be on U.S. passports. It's a disgrace.

Senate Democrats forced votes to BAN any kind of slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists. Republicans killed those efforts out of fealty to Trump. Now, Trump is doubling down on giving YOUR tax dollars to convicted cop beaters.

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone. Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon. This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.

Abortion bans are putting women's lives in danger, and it's not by accident. This is a situation Republicans explicitly manufactured simply because they believe they should decide what a woman does with her body, no matter the consequences. We've got to keep fighting back.

Senate Republicans are blindly confirming unqualified, MAGA loyalists to lifetime appointments on our federal bench and hoping you won't notice. The only way we can stop this partisan takeover of our courts is with a Democratic Senate majority.

The Trump administration is politicizing federal funding in a truly obscene and unforgivable way & robbing communities of funding they're owed. Republicans should work with Democrats to stop this plan in its tracks.

Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE—and one of the most studied medications we have. FDA opening a new study has nothing to do with science and everything to do with advancing the anti-abortion movement's agenda to control women's bodies and lives.

Trump's DHS thinks it can avoid answering for the inhumane conditions and rising death toll of its detainees by no longer tracking it. Absolutely not. DHS has something to hide and Members of Congress must fight for transparency & accountability.

Federal agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. Tear-gassed and brutalized families. Detained thousands of children and pregnant women. How do Republicans respond? At nearly 5AM they passed $70 billion more for ICE, no questions. No reforms. No accountability.

Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check. No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again. Make sure everyone knows it.

It’s past 4 AM and the Senate is still voting. Why? Because Republicans want to cut ICE another $70 billion check. They found money for Stephen Miller, but there’s nothing to make health care more affordable.

It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable. All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging. That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.
- PM
In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE. After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms. I'm voting NO.

Republicans should work with Democrats to ban Trump's criminal slush fund. In law. Today. Why won't they? Because the President has explicitly said he LOVES it—and Republicans are more than willing to cut checks to violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars.

Back in March, Rubio said this war would end in "weeks, not months." Yet, here we are, 4 months later. Hundreds of troops injured or killed. Billions of dollars set on fire for a war Americans do NOT support.

Republicans voted down an amendment to block Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund for violent insurrectionists. They're choosing to bend the knee to this corrupt President who wants to pay off cop beaters—all while Trump & Republicans won't spend a cent to lower health care costs.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.

Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.
