For an Administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste... This is one of the dumbest, cruelest and most wasteful things they've ever done.

Typical Trump Administration. Create chaos. Blame the victim. Repeat. These people will point fingers at Mother Theresa before looking in the mirror.

Let’s be clear: this rescissions package isn’t about saving money.

Please, this isn’t about saving money. Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!! To fund tax cuts for billionaires. Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn’t going to fix that mess. Neither is defunding programs to help starving…

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day. For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news. Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close. Defunding this basic service would put…

Our military has more important things to do than play immigration judge.   There are actual wars going on.   Instead, Trump is distracting our troops from their core mission of protecting our national security.   I have a bill to stop this abuse.…

It's unacceptable that the average Black woman has to work 6 months longer just to earn what a white man made last year—doing the same job. On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we’re demanding what’s long overdue: Equal pay for equal work.

4 in 10 kids are covered by Medicaid. That's over 37 million kids that Republicans just threw under the bus so they can fund even more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.

I refuse to vote for someone who refuses to uphold the 1,500-hour pilot training requirement.   Americans do not want less-trained, less-prepared pilots in the cockpit flying their planes.   Mr. Bedford must abandon any plan to weaken this gold standard…

Defunding Planned Parenthood defunds life-saving care like cancer screenings and abortion. Republicans had one of the worst ideas. A federal judge just blocked it. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This is Trump's America.
 
Where even a Purple Heart Army Veteran is self-deporting because of his cruel, inhumane anti-immigrant agenda.
 
These are not the values Sae Joon Park sacrificed to defend.
 
Yet another hero left behind.…

Our Founding Fathers built this great nation on the premise that no American should ever bow to a king. But as time often reminds us, freedom isn't guaranteed. It's fought for—this Fourth of July and always.

Republicans in Congress had a choice: 
Vote to protect the people they serve or vote to please Donald Trump.

Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care. JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae." Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die." McConnell says people will "get over it." Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.
