If these bills become law, we can predict many more crypto scandals and crises and money laundering, a lot of people will lose a lot of money, and no one will face accountability for taking advantage of retail investors.

The Trump administration isn’t just gutting the Department of Education, it’s also cutting the funding our school districts rely upon to plan their budget. “At stake in Pennsylvania is $230 million for teacher training, after school programs, and support for English language learners…"

"The Golden Age": House Republicans gave their Billionaire donors a Tax Cut while Young Americans are putting their lives on pause because they can't afford housing, healthcare, or groceries. All Americans deserve to have a shot at the American Dream, not just the Mega Rich.

First crudités, now carrot cake. Dr. Oz fails to meet the moment as Americans go hungry because USDA canceled millions of pounds of shipments to food banks, and SNAP cuts are looming. The Trump Admin is cutting off lifelines for Americans and telling them it's their fault.

The 14th Amendment was ratified 157 years ago, enshrining the rights to Equal Protection for citizens born or naturalized in the U.S. and Due Process for all in law. Today, the Trump Administration is attacking these rights. I will continue to stand up for the rule of law.

Laying off tens of thousands of federal workers without the oversight or approval of Congress will result in essential services being depleted for Americans. It's not efficient. It's chaos.
