Trump’s 1st year in office had the worst job growth this decade, excluding COVID.
In that same year, the 1% got a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts, the Trump family got $1.4 BILLION richer, & Americans paid $192 BILLION in tariff-related costs.
Working people are getting fleeced.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.
Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.
Not one more dime for this lawlessness.
🚨 This is another win for Big Oil and other big polluters at the expense of everyone else.
Instead of giving polluters a free ride, we should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make them — not all of us — pay the bill for the huge amount of damage they’ve caused.
Azerbaijani President Aliyev's authoritarian regime has jailed two US-affiliated journalists for the crime of truthful reporting.
I hope the VP — who lectured our allies about free speech — got a commitment for their release. Or is free speech only for his ideological allies?
It's the citizens on this grand jury & the people blowing whistles in Minneapolis & across America that are standing up to Trump's lawless, authoritarian takeover.
We, the People are protecting our democracy as spineless Republicans in Congress roll over for Trump every time.
This is an abhorrent, antisemitic attack. I stand with the Shaare Tefila community and the entire Olney Jewish community.
We must speak out strongly against this hate. It has no place here or anywhere.

Secretary Lutnick made a big show of telling us about how he cut off contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. That was a lie.
Today he confirmed that in 2012 — after Epstein was convicted — Lutnick visited Epstein's island.
What else is he not telling us? We need answers.
As we said from day 1, the Trump Admin & Secretary Rubio had no case when they went after Ms. Ozturk for daring to exercise her First Amendment rights.
They want people to shut up and stand down. We must respond by speaking out and standing strong!
The CFPB has returned billions of dollars to Americans who were conned & scammed by big corporations. Naturally, many billionaires didn't like that, so they had Trump go after the CFPB.
That's why we must protect the CFPB & ensure the rich don't get to play by their own rules.
My heart goes out to the Wootton High School community. We've been in close touch with local officials, and I'm grateful to the first responders for their fast action in response to this emergency.
Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1.
Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin.
He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.
Today is a dark day for press freedom in Hong Kong. The PRC is snuffing out what was once a beacon of light. I stand in solidarity with Jimmy.
The Trump Admin must stop looking the other way & enforce my Hong Kong Autonomy Act.
Silence in the face of repression is unacceptable.

Silence in the face of repression is unacceptable.
The Trump Admin is still stonewalling on the Epstein Files.
They have shared survivors' identities while actively shielding the Epstein Class.
The survivors and the public deserve the WHOLE truth — not just what the DOJ wants to reveal.
Accountability demands it.
Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.”
We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin.
DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.
Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.
Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.
This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.
Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.
The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.
Our civil servants deliver critical services to the American people. But from Day 1, Trump has sought to replace a merit based system with one full of cronies.
This week, @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social , @hoyer.house.gov, & I, launched the bipartisan Federal Workforce Caucus to help these patriots.
The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry.
As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.
Trump lied when he said he'd target “the worst of the worst.”
TPS protects those who would otherwise be in grave danger. They are legally residing here & contribute to our economy & communities.
Glad judges have halted Trump’s reckless termination of TPS for Haiti & Ethiopia.
