As the affordability crisis spirals out of control and people’s health care costs skyrocket, this administration’s actions in Venezuela make one thing clear: Donald Trump is the least ‘America First’ POTUS in our country’s history.
The idea that Trump plans to now run Venezuela should strike fear in the hearts of all Americans. The American people have seen this before and paid the devastating price.
Senate Republicans had multiple chances to work with us to stop premiums from skyrocketing—and they blocked action every time. While Republicans chose to do nothing, Democrats are fighting to lower costs, protect coverage, and make life more affordable.
Starting tomorrow, Americans will face a health care crisis caused by Republican obstruction and total inaction. Millions will lose health care Millions will see costs spike by thousands Millions of families, small business owners, older Americans, farmers and ranchers will face impossible choices.
This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one. The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents. They are hiding something.
A headline from New York Times reads: Justice Dept. Is Now Said to Be Reviewing 5.2 Million Pages of Epstein Files
I’ll say it again—Trump needs to be straight with the American people and explain what his strategy is and what the hell he’s doing in the Caribbean.
President Trump says in an interview with WABC radio in New York that the U.S. had “knocked out” a Venezuelan facility, a move that would be a major escalation in U.S. military strikes.
“My friends will get hurt.” - Donald Trump Donald’s true colors shine through: Protecting the rich and powerful and blocking accountability. Trump’s Epstein cover-up must stop. Justice for the survivors is our priority—and what the law requires.
A post from Aidan McLaughlin reads: MTG tells the Times that when she threatened to expose the men who abused Epstein’s victims, Trump called to scream at her.

“My friends will get hurt,” he said.
A Christmas Eve news dump of ‘a million more files’ only proves what we already know: Trump is engaged in a massive coverup. The question Americans deserve answered is simple: WHAT are they hiding—and WHY? Justice delayed is justice denied. Release the files. Follow the law.
The Trump administration is full of shit. According to Dems review they’ve released less than 40,000 pages many completely redacted since the deadline on December 19. When they say they’ve released hundreds of thousands it defies credulity.
A headline from Axios reads: Scoop: Trump administration expects Epstein files release could last another week
Senate Democrats are working to assess the documents that have been released to determine what actions must be taken to hold the Trump administration accountable. We will pursue every option to make sure the truth comes out.
The law Congress passed calls for the complete release of the Epstein files so that there can be full transparency. This set of heavily redacted documents released by the Department of Justice today is just a fraction of the whole body of evidence.
Trump “won’t rule out” sending your sons and daughters to war, all to distract from the mandated release of the Epstein files. Everything he does is for himself. Americans do not want more endless war.
A headline from NBC News reads: Trump not ruling out war with Venezuela

In an exclusive phone interview with NBC News, Trump talked about his offensive against Venezuela, his plan for health care and his outlook for the midterm elections.
After urging for weeks, I was informed by the Coast Guard today that this vicious and antisemitic policy will be reversed. That’s the right decision and it’s shameful that this happened in the first place. When it comes to neo-Nazism and antisemitism, there is no room for ambiguity.
A headline from Washington Post reads: Coast Guard policy on swastikas, nooses will be revised, Noem says
