Republicans ripped health care away from millions of Americans & drove up costs for millions more to give massive tax cuts to the wealthy and well-connected.
Now, they’re threatening additional cuts to health care programs to pay for the president’s reckless war in Iran.
Americans deserve better.

Transgender Day of Visibility is a time of remembrance and recognition.
Today, let us recommit ourselves to speaking out against discrimination in every form.

Jeffries: "The only thing standing between the chaos that is taking place at airports all across the country and the American people and making sure you are no longer inconvenienced is House Republicans. Unfortunately MAGA extremists in the House continue to inflict pain on the American people"
This is not only despicable, but it is deeply damaging to our armed forces.
If promotions are based on racism and bigotry, rather than skill and experience, we will lose qualified and dedicated men and women in every branch of the military.
This is not leadership. Mr. Hegseth and his team must go.
"Mr. Buria [Hegseth's chief of staff] told Mr. Driscoll [Secretary of the Army] that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said."

After weeks of blocking funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, Senate Republicans finally relented and passed legislation to fund these vital agencies.
The House should pass the bill, end the chaos, and continue negotiations that will ensure stronger guardrails on ICE and CBP.
Working-class families were already hurting from rising housing costs.
Now, the president’s regime change war in the Middle East is driving up mortgage rates and making housing even more expensive.
Americans deserve better.

The president’s reckless decision to start another regime change war in the Middle East is driving another surge of inflation that is already hurting hardworking families across the country.

Congress must reassert its constitutional authority over military action before the president drags America into another conflict that has long-term consequences for the nation.
I support this effort by @jayapal.house.gov and @meeks.house.gov.

Fertilizer and fuel prices are spiking because of the president’s reckless war in the Middle East.
Critical markets around the world have closed because of the president’s reckless trade wars.
American farmers are struggling more than ever because of the administration’s reckless policies.
Nearly a year after Liberation Day, the president’s illegal tariff taxes have cost American small businesses dearly.
It’s time to put an end to these reckless policies that have driven up prices, killed good-paying jobs, and crushed small businesses!

The administration wants to spend $200 billion on another regime change war in the Middle East.
I think that money would be better spent lowering health care costs, investing in workers, and strengthening education here at home.

When was the last time the president pumped his own gas?
Our billionaire president may not care that gas prices are rising at a record pace, but working-class families certainly do.
Equal hours. Equal effort. But only a fraction of the paycheck.
That is the reality for women in America—and it’s unacceptable.
On Equal Pay Day, I join my @demwomencaucus colleagues as we demand fair wages for all women. #EqualPayDay
72% of American workers say that now is a bad time to find a quality job.
This is a direct result of the administration’s illegal tariffs and reckless economic policies that are driving up prices and killing good-paying jobs.

Whether it is illegal tariff taxes or another regime change war in the Middle East, the president’s reckless policies are driving up prices, crushing hardworking families, and increasing the likelihood of a recession.
Americans deserve better.
I'm glad to see the administration allowing summertime sales of E15—but more is needed.
I urge Republican leaders to bring forward a proposal that will enable year-round E15, which will help to lower gas prices and support Missouri farmers.

The deployment of troops in Iran is an escalation that will guarantee months, if not years, of additional conflict—and billions more taxpayer dollars spent on another regime change war in the Middle East.
Congress cannot allow the president to unilaterally drive our nation into another quagmire.
The American people are paying the price for President Trump’s regime change war in the Middle East.
www.cnn.com/2026/03/25/e...
Democrats are fighting to ensure TSA agents, emergency responders, and our men and women in the Coast Guard receive their paychecks.
But President Trump and Republicans in Congress are blocking the funding bill that will make it possible.
It's time to put people over petty politics.
As the costs continue to skyrocket and families struggle to make ends meet, the president is more focused on spending tens of billions of dollars on another regime change war in the Middle East.
It’s no wonder the public is extremely unhappy.
