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.

For the "fiscal conservatives" out there: Trump wants to send $257M to the Kennedy Center—a 6x increase in federal funding.
Why? For marble columns & vanity upgrades, while they gut SNAP & kick 8.6 million off Medicaid.
Lavish excess while people suffer. Nero had a marble tub—Trump wants his.
Today’s horror stories from the Trump world:
Temporary protection status taken from Afghanistan, who helped our troops
Major cut to healthcare and food assistance to children seniors and the disabled
Trump not satisfied with Air Force One wants to take a emolument violating gift of airplane

Dems: passed laws slashing insulin & drug prices nationwide.
Trump: sabotages every bit of it he can, launches a trade war, prices explode.
Also Trump: “👉👈 gosh guys, maybe think about lowering drug prices? But only if you want... Please?"
A useless EO, brought to you by a useless administration.
Also worth watching: how much of Trump’s executive order quietly rips off the Inflation Reduction Act—the law President Biden signed that actually gave Medicare power to negotiate drug prices for the first time in history.
Wouldn’t be the first time Trump tried to steal credit for real leadership.

Thing about Trump's prescription drug order is: he has zero power to do it (except for Medicare rates on a couple drugs, per the bill passed by Dems in 2022). Courts will block it.
If Trump / Republicans cared about lowering drug prices, Congress has many ways to do so. They don't, so they won't.
We can't let foreign governments influence US policy by BRIBING the POTUS. I thought that was obvious.
Nobody gives away $400M luxury jets for fun. The question is, what is Qatar getting? That's what the GOP & Pam Bondi—a former Qatar lobbyist—aren't interested in asking.
We're going to find out.
They are just fantastic this young band but the last song the blue song is killer. No wonder they want on Mother’s Day. There are a lot of very cool mothers in that band.
youtube.com/watch?v=PdDh... Memphis Central jazz band won the Ellington essentials world contest! Congratulations and proud of my students/musicians.
Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms in Memphis and throughout TN-9. Thanks for everything you do!
I had a great mother, and I miss her.
Justice David Souter was a Republican appointee, but he upheld the Constitution—not the party line.
He stood for fairness, legal principle, and modesty. I was privileged to meet him when I was a state senator—he was thoughtful and warm, the model of what a Justice should be, on and off the bench.
But Chauncey Gardiner( correct spelling) knew everything by observing television. Familiar?

More class in her toenail clippings than Donald Trump has in all his golden thrones.

🚨NEW: Trump is trying to kill a housing program that protects seniors, lowers energy bills & saves lives.
This used to be bipartisan, so why is he doing it? Because it helps people who aren’t rich—and it has "Green" in its name.
My op-ed in @fastcompany.com with @michaeljohnshank.bsky.social ⬇️
As the first American pope—and one from Chicago, my mother’s hometown—I'm pleased to welcome Pope Leo XIV.
Cardinal Stritch was also from Chicago, and he helped bring St. Jude to Memphis. I hope Pope Leo builds on Francis' legacy of compassion and that he visits St. Jude & Memphis—where it endures.
Republicans want to gut Medicaid and slash food aid by $1 TRILLION, hurting kids, seniors, the disabled, and working families.
They say that’s not true? Great—then they should vote for the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act.
I signed the petition to force that vote. Let's see who's telling the truth.

Republicans just paved the way for the largest cut to America's social safety net in history—billions stolen from SNAP & Medicaid, from children, the disabled, and seniors. All to make the rich even richer.
It's theft in broad daylight. I voted NO. Full remarks from the House floor last night ⬇️

Retrofitting housing couldn’t be more American. It’s good for businesses contracted to do the upgrades, and it’s good for all living healthier lives, saving money on their utility bills, and staying safe in the next storm.
