Trump and Musk have been in office for three weeks and haven't done a thing to lower costs for working people. But billionaires? They’re getting more tax cuts.
Over 40 million Americans rely on SNAP to put food on the table, yet the GOP would rather gut it than ask the rich to pay their fair share.
RFK Jr. cannot be left in charge to make health care decisions that will impact the American people.
He is unqualified and a threat to our nation’s public health.
I’m urging all my colleagues in the Senate to vote against this dangerous nomination.
A protest a day will help keep the billionaire tax cuts away.
We raised hell about Donald Trump and Co-President Musk's $3 trillion budget freeze and they retreated.
Every day, my Democratic colleagues and I are shining a light on the pain this Administration is inflicting on the American people.
To Trump, Musk, and my GOP colleagues who want to cut lifesaving programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to fund billionaire tax cuts, I say make my day.
These are earned benefits, not entitlements.
The American people are outraged and won't stand by as their vital benefits are cut.
Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk don’t care about protecting consumers.
They want to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to further empower scammers and fraudsters.
We aren’t backing away from the fight. We have to resist and persist.
I stand with researchers, including those at Northwestern University and @loyolachicago.bsky.social, working tirelessly to advance medical innovation.
Lifesaving research to help cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and other deadly diseases is under threat.
Trump and Elon Musk want to unlawfully cut funds to the NIH, prioritizing billionaire tax cuts over our nation's health.
How ironic that the richest man in the world is trying to shut down an agency that has returned $20 billion to more than 200 million Americans cheated by greedy corporations.
This is nothing but a gift to scammers and fraudsters who will now get to keep the money that they've stolen from consumers.
For Trump and Musk, billionaire tax breaks are more urgent than teaching kids to read or count. They put profits first and your children last.
I’m a former elementary school teacher, I won’t stand by as they try to dismantle the Department of Education.
Trump bragged about how he was going to bring jobs back to America. Instead, he's taking jobs away.
Our federal workers care for our veterans, fight back against climate change, support our economy, and much more.
I stand with our federal workers and thank them for their dedication to our country.
Wondering why co-President Musk is aggressively attacking USAID? 🤔
Not a coincidence—just as they were investigating Starlink, his personal cash cow, he orders it shut down.
Billionaires using their platforms to silence scrutiny isn’t efficiency, it’s corruption. www.newsweek.com/usaid-elon-m...
All kids should be able to play with their friends at school, and it's beyond the pale that Trump and Republicans are spending taxpayer dollars to attack our children.
This isn’t fairness—it’s cruelty.
Trump’s most recent Executive Order is a malicious attack on transgender children, who are already among the most vulnerable in our society and face high risks of suicide, violence, and bullying.
Congressional Republicans, led by Musk and Trump, are planning to cut taxes for billionaires while ripping health care away from seniors and people with disabilities.
This morning, I was with @seiupres.bsky.social and a packed room of @seiu.org advocates to say hands off our Medicaid!
At a Shore Community Services home, I spoke with two mothers whose sons rely on Medicaid for daily living, health care, and employment assistance.
If Trump prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires over Medicaid, millions will lose their lifesaving care.
Lives are more important than tax cuts.
Billionaire Elon Musk wasn’t elected by the American people.
He has illegally accessed our private information and thinks he can decide if you get your Social Security check or if your loved one can get care under Medicare.
I’m at the Treasury Department to demand he GTFO.
The Trump administration is prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of raising costs for everyone else.
Under Chair Lina Khan's leadership, the Federal Trade Commission consistently delivered for consumers, lowering costs & creating a fairer, more honest, & more competitive economy.
This FTC Was the Most Effective in Decades Thanks to Lina Khan, writes @schakowsky.house.gov in Common Dreams op-ed www.commondreams.org/opinion/ftc-...
For my full statement, please see below: schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-...
Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire who should have zero access to our government's private information.
Trump cares more about helping out the ultra-wealthy than protecting the information of Social Security and Medicare recipients.
We won't remain silent.
