Republicans took an 8-week paid vacation—then came back to screw working people.
They voted against feeding hungry kids & lowering healthcare costs. But don’t worry—they voted in favor of Trump’s $40B Argentina bailout.
Corrupt. Cruel. Cowardly.
Republicans thought they could get away with sneaking a massive slush fund for pro-insurrectionist senators into their corrupt funding package.
They’re giving themselves a million dollar payday while hiking your healthcare costs.
If you are fed up with the status quo that only works for those at the top, Republicans aren’t fighting for you.
We are.
We fought like hell to stop this awful GOP plan in the Rules Committee.
We argued until 2AM.
We moved to adjourn.
We offered amendments to lower healthcare costs & block their payday for pro-insurrection Senators (yes, really—look it up).
We showed up. Republicans sold you out.
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation
See those 8 empty seats? That’s where Republicans should have been sitting.
But they didn’t even have the decency to debate us while taking healthcare away from millions of people after they shoveled tax break after tax break to billionaires.
Lazy, heartless & cruel.
Today, we honor the brave men and women who’ve worn our nation’s uniform—protecting our freedoms, defending our democracy, and inspiring us all to serve something greater than ourselves. We owe you a profound debt of gratitude. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.
Which is why I’ll be voting hell no. Republicans are giving tax breaks to billionaires while healthcare premiums double & triple for regular people.
Accepting a pinky promise to maybe have a vote on lowering healthcare costs is not a compromise. It's capitulation.
Hold. The. Line.
Great to be in Worcester for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Cultural Center Hrisohorafiton—an incredible organization dedicated to preserving Greek heritage in our community. Wishing them another 50 years of cultural exchange, education, and community building!
Not a single thing to bring down prices. Not a single thing to lower rent. Not a single thing to make groceries, or electricity, or any of your bills lower.
Republicans have had 291 days. And all they’ve done is give tax breaks to billionaires.
Today I joined @trahan.house.gov & the United Way of North Central Massachusetts to hear directly from local food pantries and service providers about how Trump is making hunger worse in North Central MA.
Food should be a fundamental right this country!
We know you don’t care, Donald.
All you want to talk about is your “top priority”—the Temu Versailles ballroom.
While too many in Washington want to demonize poor people, I’m proud that here in Massachusetts, groups like Making Opportunity Count are rallying our community in support of those in need. Great roundtable w/ @trahan.house.gov & other local leaders to discuss their work today.
While you struggle to pay for groceries, healthcare, and rent, Elon Musk just walked away with a $1 trillion payout.
Only Trump and his billionaire buddies want this sick economic system. In a moral society, everyone is fed & housed—and trillionaires don’t exist.
Tax the rich.
There's something wrong with our country when on the same day that Elon Musk gets paid a trillion dollars, the Trump administration appeals a federal court order that requires them to fully fund nutrition assistance for poor people.
Democrats already told him to follow the law. Now a federal judge has ordered him to. This is not a negotiation. USDA needs to send out full benefits, and they need to do it now.
How low is Donald Trump is willing to go? It took him 2 seconds to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but he drags his feet and takes forever to send out food assistance to hungry American families—which he has a legal and moral obligation to do.
