And there it is: Elon Musk called entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare) “the big one to eliminate.” Republicans need to grow a spine and denounce this before Trump and DOGE cut YOUR health care and retirement.

Last time I checked, canceling $60 million to build affordable housing developments wouldn’t actually make it easier for people to afford their rent.
Burning and shredding classified documents and personnel files? That doesn’t scream “what we’re doing is legal” to me. This should alarm every House Republican and they should sign onto my bill to protect USAID and our national security.
I'm not surprised that ICE has transferred all immigrants from Guantanamo Bay back to stateside facilities. When I was there, it was clear that this "plan" was too costly, complicated, inefficient, and cruel.
🙋🏻♀️ I’m here - as are all House Democrats - ready to pass a 1 month funding extension that’s **actually** clean and doesn’t cut veterans health care, drive up housing costs, or fire Social Security workers.
Trump is on a mission to (illegally!) eliminate the Department of Education – and he just started by cutting its staff in half. This is a betrayal of students, parents, and educators.
I just went there myself, so I’ll save you the trouble: it can’t be justified.
Officials are reconsidering whether the optics of flying a handful of migrants to Guantánamo Bay aboard military aircrafts really justify the price. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-botch...
Let’s be clear, this has nothing to do with protecting Jewish students and everything to do with Republicans long term plan to defund higher education. Don’t fall for it.

Guantanamo Bay troops guard empty migrant tents, suffer low morale, Rep Sara Jacobs told me after a bipartisan CODEL to the base
“All of us had a lot of questions about the money, how few immigrants were actually there, in regards to how much money is being spent" www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
The U.S. is one of the biggest suppliers of weapons to the UAE – but we shouldn’t be supporting them when they’re actively funding a genocide by arming the RSF in Sudan.
That’s why @vanhollen.senate.gov and I led a bill to block U.S. arms to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF.
Hearing about a government shutdown? Here's what's going on and why I'm voting no on this partisan bill.
This stop-gap funding measure does NOTHING to hold Elon Musk or President Trump accountable. Instead, it STEALS FROM YOU in order to FUND BILLIONAIRES’ TAX BREAKS. I’m voting no.
TL;DR: What does the U.S. need? More housing. What’s needed to build housing? Steel and aluminum. Where do we get a lot of it from? Canada.
What did Trump just raise massive 50% import taxes on? Steel and aluminum from Canada.
We can't afford this pointless trade war.
I visited the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay where Trump is housing immigrants en route to deportation.
My biggest takeaway: the cost and cruelty are unjustifiable.
There’s no added operational value; Trump just likes the optics.
I just went to the immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Thousands of service members are guarding empty tents, there are fewer than 4 dozen immigrants there, and they have to import all supplies except for water and power. This isn’t worth the cost or the cruelty.
If they can target Mahmoud Khalil’s First Amendment rights, they can target yours. The whole point of the First Amendment is that it protects speech – even if it’s unpopular or you don’t like what they have to say.
During any major weather event or natural disaster, accurate information is critical for saving lives and protecting property. DOGE’s frantic cuts to important federal agencies like NOAA and FEMA put people at risk.
In Trump’s speech to Congress, he didn’t say “Medicaid” once.
But he backed a budget that forces at least $1.5 trillion in cuts – and the math doesn’t work without BIG cuts to Medicaid and Medicare.
Trump is trying to HIDE this. Don’t let him. Share this.
Major whiplash. Trump’s 25% tariffs against Mexico and Canada just kicked in on Tuesday. Now, he’s reversing course – but only for one month.
These sweeping, nonstrategic tariffs were always a bad idea because YOU pay the cost. All of this uncertainty and chaos isn’t any better.
Me waiting for Republicans to explain how exactly they’re going to cut at least $1.5 trillion from the budget without touching Medicaid:
