It's nearly Thanksgiving and everyone should remember that Trump fought all the way to the Supreme Court to deny families SNAP benefits this month. All of this after Trump & Republicans passed the largest cuts to SNAP in HISTORY this summer. It's fundamentally immoral.
ICYMI: The Trump administration took massive—and illegal—steps last week to try and abolish the Department of Education without any consideration of the cost to students, families, and educators.
Health care premiums are going up next year for everyone—including for people who get coverage through their employers.   And Republicans have yet to put out any coherent plan that will actually address the challenges families are facing.
Republican Health Care Lingo Every Voter Should Know. Do YOU know what your Republican Member of Congress means when they say things like "high-risk pools?" It means they want to go back to when people with pre-existing conditions like cancer could be denied coverage.
Trump's billionaire-first agenda has cost families in Washington state an average of $948 MORE so far this year, according to a new JEC Dems report.    Apparently, the "Golden Age of America" only exists if you have billions of dollars to pay for it.
You set the example from the top. Is it "civil" to call a fellow passenger "piggy?" Always be kind to your fellow passengers as well as airport and airline staff. In short: don't be like Donald Trump.
I was in Seattle today with parents and education leaders to sound the alarm on Trump’s nonstop efforts to destroy the Department of Education and what that means for our students.    The fight for our kids' education—and future—is more important now than ever.
Our kids are our future—and there are real stakes to Trump’s relentless sabotage and destruction of the Department of Education.    I heard from parents and education leaders in Seattle today about what this means for students and their education.
The President is a crook —and everyone should understand, when it comes to FEMA, these are taxpayer dollars he’s abusing, this isn’t Trump’s money. Trump is punishing Blue states and rewarding Red states—and he could not be more transparent about his corruption.
I was at the Capitol on January 6th when they built a gallows outside and chanted "Hang Mike Pence." We cannot sit by as Trump riles up another crowd and lifts up new calls for violence. We cannot pretend we don't know how serious President Trump's actions are.
Trump's rhetoric toward Democratic lawmakers is a disgrace—it’s not even close to acceptable coming from an American President. Republican Senators need to show some courage and state plainly that the President is not above the law. That is the bare minimum.
The President using his platform to lift up people calling for political violence is twisted, dangerous stuff. There is NO room in our democracy for political violence—and every single Senator should join me in saying Trump's behavior is completely unacceptable.
The President of the United States is using his platform to lift up people calling for political violence—the hanging of Democratic Members of Congress. This is dangerous beyond measure. There has to be a line, and my Republican colleagues must wake up and speak out.
Trump calls for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged
Trump on Truth Social reposts someone who says of Democratic lawmakers, "HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!"
There is no universe where it is acceptable for a United States ally to detain an AMERICAN CITIZEN under these god awful conditions. This is not "America First" in any way. The Trump administration needs to take action immediately to bring this teenager home.
How are rural residents supposed to shop around for emergency care? What do they do when there's only one hospital for miles?   Especially when GOP Medicaid cuts are CLOSING those hospitals!
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."
Senate Republicans' outrageous provision in the spending bill to give millions of taxpayer dollars to just a handful of GOP Senators has got to go. I helped introduce legislation to repeal this corrupt cash grab ASAP.
