I have repeatedly called for more humanitarian aid in Gaza and tax focus only on soldiers not civilians, not women and children, and also that the hostages be released and not harmed.Hamas needs to give up.

This week, Republicans tried to jam through their tax scam in the dead of night. Democrats fought back to expose this bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social explains how we will keep standing up for hardworking American taxpayers.

The killing of two Israeli staff members at a Jewish museum event tonight in DC is deplorable and pathetic. The suspected killer yelled “free Palestine” and “I did it for Gaza.” This act will not help Gaza or free Palestine. But it ended a young and innocent couples lives.Beyond sad!

Saddened by the loss of my friend and colleague Gerry Connolly. He was a good & decent person, a former staffer who never forgot his roots. We worked closely on foreign affairs—from the Turkey Caucus to human rights. We need more public servants like him. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Donald Trump wants a massive military parade for his birthday—tanks, jets, 6,600 troops—all on YOUR dime. It’s grotesque. A wannabe king playing dress-up with taxpayer dollars. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to block this nonsense. If he wants a party, he can pay for it himself.

Topline: The U.S. Army plans to spend between $25 million and $45 million on a parade in Washington D.C., and that’s just the start of the expense. The dollar total will likely grow as other fed

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress. In today's Democratic Daily Download, @repmcgovern.bsky.social breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.

There are a few but single digits percentages I’d guess. Vast majority of Congress folk are honest, even if not a lot of profiles in courage lately

Trump’s budget is a disaster for seniors, kids & people with disabilities. He’s looting Medicaid, SNAP & more to bankroll tax cuts for himself, his kids & his Mar-a-Lago pals. Doesn't even matter if you voted for him. If you don’t make at least $400k a year, tough luck: you were never in his club.
