Trump and Republicans want to give more than $4 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and they’re planning to pay for it by gutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social breaks down the math and what it will mean for Americans ⬇️

Kseniia Petrova fled political persecution from Putin and escaped to America. She’s a brilliant scientist—one of the most talented Harvard’s seen in 20 years. Now she’s in ICE detention, facing deportation while Trump turns the White House into an arm of the Kremlin. She should be released, NOW.

As part of today's Medicaid Matters Day of Action, @repkimschrier.bsky.social and House Democrats across the country are fighting to protect this vital lifeline from Republican cuts. Learn more about what why Medicaid is so important on today's Democratic Daily Download ⤵️

The Trump admin froze funding to upgrade senior housing—new windows & lighting, lower energy bills—because the program had “green” in the name. That’s not governing. It's ideological brain rot. Seniors will suffer so Trump can own the libs. I led 15 of my colleagues in urging HUD to change course ⬇️

“The big one to eliminate.” That’s how Musk & the GOP talk about programs like Social Security. While they’re ramming through tax cuts for billionaires, they're also wrecking Social Security so that it’s ripe for plucking by a private company for takeover. We won't let them do it without a fight.

If you live or run a business Memphis, TN-09, or anywhere in Tennessee, the IRS has just extended your federal tax filing and payment deadline to November 3, 2025 due to the April storms. That includes income tax returns, quarterly estimates, and more. More details ⬇️

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u... Taking a stand against the authoritarianism! Right on Harvard! And Trump isn’t against antisemitism, it’s a way to use a righteous cause to fight “liberal” universities who hire well educated and worldly profs & researchers, a group not attracted to ego driven bullies

Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @ivey.house.gov discusses how Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, denied due process and sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. The court has ordered him to be returned and this Administration must comply without delay.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u... Trump is using antisemitism to appeal to Jews and to get at his educated opposition in the Ivy schools, which his base detests. If he really wanted to go after antisemitism, he’d go after the KKK neo-Nazis proud boys but no, “They’re fine people on both sides.”

Last night was Zelensky and the truth about Russia invasion and Russian talking points being used in America as well as Greenland people speaking against Trump’s takeover/buyout deal. Today at his Press Conf.he said @CNN was unpatriotic and against America. THIS IS AUTHORITARIANISM AT ITS WORST !
Trump says CBS should "lose their license" or at least be hit with "the maximum fines and punishment" for airing "60 Minutes" segments that included criticism of him, the latest example of seeking to use government power to crack down on independent media. thehill.com/media/524748...
