Trump calls this “modernization,” but it’s the most vulnerable who are again being asked to pay the steepest cost.

According to the National Taxpayer Advocate, this change “is expected to disproportionally affect . . . disabled, elderly and other vulnerable taxpayers for whom paper checks have often been the only practical means of receiving refunds need to cover basic living expenses.”
Do you typically receive an IRS refund via a paper check? Thanks to a new Trump Executive Order prohibiting the timely issuance of refund checks, if you don’t give —or do not have— a direct deposit filing number for the IRS you could face over a month’s delay.
During a Congressional oversight hearing, Mr. Hemsley of UnitedHealthcare personally committed to me that he would investigate denials of in-network status and one-time authorizations to @drelisabethpotter.bsky.social. Hopeful his promise to negotiate in good faith will soon benefit many Austinites.
ICE has been invading our homes, schools, jobs, and now our privacy—undermining every basic Constitutional right. This tyranny must be stopped.
Trump says he wants to “de-escalate" in Minneapolis, but he just sent Tom Homan to lead operations. The same person who is working to “create a database” on protesters “to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
Newly unsealed documents confirm that the Trump regime knowingly targeted students for their free speech. Rubio and Noem worked to arrest and deport students for exercising their First Amendment rights, weaponizing legitimate concerns about antisemitism to crush dissent and amass power.
I voted against giving another penny to ICE and Kristi Noem and remain hopeful that Senate Democrats will do the same. We must stop these lawless attacks on innocent American citizens.
We will continue to expose the Trump regime’s lies and demand accountability.
On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and mourn the millions of lives lost at the hands of the Nazi regime. Amidst the alarming rise in antisemitism and intolerance around the world, we must never forget the horrors of the Holocaust and stand steadfastly against all forms of hate.
While I have been a sponsor of Kristi Noem impeachment resolution since it was first filed, Trump should dismiss her this week. ICE has become a 3-letter word for lie, and Noem another way of saying incompetent, irresponsible.
With tax filing season already underway,taxpayers are bracing for delays, errors, and worse service after the GOP slashed IRS funding and staffing. Since Trump took Office, he has had 7 different commissioners and still has no permanent leader. Taxpayers deserve better than Trump chaos.
Trump’s Board of Peace, more accurately known as his “Board of Hypocrisy,” composed of war criminals, thugs, and the intimidated. Not focused on Gaza, since Palestinians excluded. Only about Trump wanting to be king of the universe.
As liar-in-chief, Trump has clearly inspired his agents to lie about Minneapolis killings of American citizens and to obstruct state and local law enforcement from conducting independent investigations. So much lawlessness and disregard of our Constitution, Trump, Bondi, and Noem should be impeached
Alex Pretti, a nurse who cared for our veterans, was dedicated to helping others in any way he could serve. Though he posed no threat, this beautiful life was cut far too short by trigger-happy ICE agents.
Listening now with our Democratic caucus to our former colleagues Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison as they describe lawless federal conduct from Trump’s invasion of Minneapolis.

This is not about removing criminals, but to condition Americans to accept Trump’s abusive practices. We need accountability, including an independent investigation of this latest killing, not another cover up like that regarding Renee Goods’s killing.
My thoughts recorded yesterday about Trump regime flooding cities with unwanted and unnecessary ICE agents. More violence, more suffering, more chaos, more tragedies. 5 times more federal agents invading Minneapolis than its entire police dept.
As Republicans seek to impose a nationwide abortion ban, I spoke out against their failure to recognize the right to life for so many women across the country. Women like Kaitlyn Kash and Amanda Zurawski who were denied life-saving treatment during pregnancy complications because of Texas GOP’s ban.
New whistleblower report: ICE is telling agents they can break into homes without a judicial warrant--a blatant attack on our Fourth Amendment. The Trump regime is returning us to the kind of wrongdoing engaged in by the Red Coats, which was cited in our Declaration of Independence.
Starting wars around the world wherever Trump’s whim takes him will only make us much less safe. To found this country, Americans got rid of one despotic king. We don’t need another one. I urged my colleagues to support the Venezuela War Powers Resolution and demand an accountable president.
