Enabled by President Trump & the GOP, the richest man in the world is gutting the Social Security Administration & undermining essential services that seniors rely on to obtain their earned benefits.
This isn’t about waste or fraud—it’s about funding cuts to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

More than 90,000 Missourians could lose healthcare if the Republican budget betrayal is passed into law—all so billionaires can get another handout.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue fighting to protect the healthcare of working class families.

“People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income”
“By contrast, the top 0.1 percent, including those with incomes over $4.3 million, would gain on average more than $389,000 in after-tax income”

This despicable politicization of the law is yet another page out of the authoritarian playbook.
President Trump and MAGA Republicans think they can intimidate lawmakers from upholding their lawful oversight duties by filing baseless charges.
It won’t work. I stand with @replamonica.bsky.social.
Shirley Chisholm was a champion of working class families in every community nationwide.
Thankful to @naturbanleague.bsky.social for awarding me their 2025 Shirley Chisholm Award for Housing.
Together, we’ll keep working to ensure every American has a safe, stable, & affordable place to call home!
“If enacted, this would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.”
And it will explode our national deficit in the process.

The GOP’s budget betrayal rips healthcare away from millions of working class families and takes food away from millions more—all while exploding the national deficit.
It’s more reverse Robin Hood economics that puts billionaires over working families.
www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
In the dark of night, Republicans took another step in their effort to rip healthcare away from nearly 14 million Americans, take food off the table of millions more, and shower billionaires with more tax cuts using the savings.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stop fighting to #KillTheBill
Today, I’m praying for President Joe Biden, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family as President Biden begins his fight against cancer.
I join the American people in wishing the former president a swift and full recovery.
Get well soon, Mr. President!
While Republicans scramble, every House Democrat will keep fighting to protect Americans from this reverse Robin Hood scheme.
The GOP's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a disaster in the making. Slashing Medicaid, cutting food aid, and repealing clean energy credits-all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.
This isn't budgeting; it's cruelty disguised as policy.
President Trump’s erratic tariff policies have already driven up costs for American families. Now, he’s planning to unilaterally set tariffs for over 150 countries, bypassing negotiations, and further destabilizing our economy. This isn’t strategy-it’s economic sabotage.

Secretary Noem wants to turn the border into a reality show - because exploiting human suffering is easier than offering real solutions.
This isn’t leadership, it’s a disgraceful stunt that demeans the office she holds and our nation. Even merely exploring the idea is utterly shameful.
Adriana Smith is brain dead and her family is being forced to watch her body be kept alive for months - not for her, but to serve Georgia's cruel abortion ban.
Adriana deserves dignity and her family deserves compassion, not state-mandated torment.
Despite the American people’s opposition to Medicaid cuts, President Trump and Congressional Republicans believe that billionaires like Elon Musk deserve another tax cut more than vulnerable families deserve healthcare.
I'll keep fighting to prevent the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
After securing $3 million in Community Project Funding, I’m excited to see the Independence Downtown Square Streetscape Project moving forward, which will increase accessibility and foot traffic, support local businesses, and improve traffic safety.

Just as we prevent athletes from betting on games in which they can have a direct impact on the outcome or inside information about an injury, it is common sense to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.
That’s why I support @magaziner.house.gov's bipartisan TRUST in Congress Act to do just that.
“The higher tariffs will result in higher prices”
The cost of President Trump’s chaotic, reckless trade war is coming home to American consumers.
www.cnn.com/2025/05/15/b...
Thanks to federal investments in addiction treatment and mental healthcare, America saw an unprecedented drop in drug overdoses in 2024.
Unfortunately, cuts from DOGE and Congressional Republicans threaten to derail this important work.
Congressional Republicans are intentionally adding unnecessary bureaucracy to Medicaid to rip healthcare away from low-income families—all to give another handout to billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
It’s sinful.
