House Republicans passed their budget blueprint. If you're a billionaire, then this is great news! But if you're anybody else, they're leaving you worse off. If you don't agree with that—NOW is the time to get LOUD.
Trump's 10% tariffs on the world & 145% on China will still RAISE COSTS & CRUSH small businesses—not to mention the threat of more tariffs hanging over our economy like a ticking time bomb. Trump is running our economy into the ground and we're headed straight for a GOP recession.
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their pro-billionaire, anti-middle-class budget blueprint. While Trump's tariffs raise costs for families, Republicans are full steam ahead on their plan to cut programs like Medicaid & SNAP to hand out more tax cuts to billionaires.
Guess what? A 10% tariff on the world is STILL a MAJOR blow to small businesses and consumers. And raising tariffs on China to 125% with NO PLAN is a recipe for disaster. Small businesses like grocery stores run on thin margins. Congress NEEDS to reverse these tariffs.
Trump turning tariffs on and off like a two-year-old with a light switch has already hit our economy hard. We can't live like this, and businesses can't make serious investment decisions in this kind of environment. Congress MUST reassert itself over the power to tariff.
While Trump's tariffs push us toward a recession—Republicans are holding a hearing about...Daylight Saving Time? I am the BIGGEST supporter of making DST permanent, but the Senate should be focused on passing @cantwell.senate.gov & @wyden.senate.gov's bills to STOP these tariffs.
Let me be clear: Trump's tariffs are a TAX that the American people will pay on everything they buy. Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward a painful recession. Don't forget: Republicans joined Trump last week to cheer and clap for his tariffs.
Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY. Republicans are just choosing not to. Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.
Saying NIH does lifesaving research is not hyperbole—it's fact. Natalie from WA state is waiting to start a trial for colorectal cancer but is now worried about the very real possibility that Trump & Elon's reckless cuts will halt or significantly delay the care she needs.
Americans pay into Social Security for their entire careers. Social Security belongs to the people—not an unelected billionaire who is recklessly breaking the program to its very core and jeopardizing YOUR benefits. Elon needs to get his hands off Social Security!
Retirees and disabled people are facing chronic website outages and other access problems as they attempt to log in to their online Social Security accounts, even as they are being directed to do more of their business with the agency online.
Trump promised to lower costs for families—now he's doing the complete opposite. His tariffs are the biggest tax increase since World War II—costing the average American family an extra $4,000 a year.  Trump & Republicans are wrecking our economy for NO reason—it has to stop.
Right now a mother in South Carolina is being forced to remain pregnant—even though her fetus has no heartbeat, & no chance of survival—because of South Carolina's draconian abortion ban. This is the predictable result of Republican abortion bans: women suffering and put at risk.
🚨Georgia prosecutors dropped charges against the 24-year-old woman they **arrested over a miscarriage**—but only because people spoke up and demanded it. We cannot let these stories be ignored or normalized—that’s what Republicans counting on. We have to keep speaking up.
Right now a woman in Georgia—who was found bleeding and unconscious outside her apartment—is sitting behind bars for MISCARRYING. And now Republicans in 11 states are pushing bills to punish women who have abortions as murderers. SPEAK OUT—they're hoping you don't notice.
Trump's tariffs are running the economy into the ground.  Congress can reverse them—but instead, Republicans are full steam ahead on their disastrous plan to give more tax breaks to billionaires. The Republican Party platform is pro-billionaire and pro-recession.
Republicans' billionaire tax cuts would cost more than 4 major pieces of recent federal legislation *combined*—AND it would be bigger than programs like Medicare Part D & ACA subsidies that millions of people rely on. The GOP is essentially creating a social safety net for BILLIONAIRES.
I will not stop raising the alarm on what's happening to Social Security. Republicans are blowing up the national debt to shower billionaires with tax cuts, but they’re telling everyone else we need to fire Social Security staff and shutter offices.
