🚨Thanks to Trump's tariffs, a new home will cost $18.5k more to build in 2028.
Instead of addressing the housing crisis, Trump is more focused on blaming immigrants for it while implementing tariffs that are making houses *more* expensive to build.

I’ve never traded stocks and as long as I’m in public office, I never will.
That’s why I’ve signed onto a bipartisan petition to ban stock trading by members of Congress and their families.
Banning congressional stock trading is a commonsense reform that increases transparency, fights corruption and helps ensure Congress works for the people we serve — and never for ourselves.
From their denial of true oversight visits to the cruel treatment of detainees at this facility, it is abundantly clear Camp East Montana is not being effectively or humanely operated.
Never before has an administration so carelessly made a mockery of the rule of law while hypocritically championing values like law and order.
Despite claims from DHS about the inhumane, abhorrent conditions at facilities like Camp East Montana being "categorically false," my own visits and discussions with detainees prove otherwise.
ICE did not notify Congress directly until nearly a week after the death and hours after my office inquired with relevant Congressional committees earlier today.
🚨 Earlier today, my office was notified by a local stakeholder about the death of a detainee at Camp East Montana.

Trump implements tariffs -> Tariffs raise prices and devastate farmers -> Trump uses tariff revenue (aka American tax dollars) to bail out farmers -> Trump takes credit for “saving” farmers
Equipped with exam rooms, essential equipment, clinical services, and screenings on board, the mobile clinic will bring high-quality care to families in underserved areas of our community.
The clinic is an excellent example of how our federal government can improve lives.
El Paso Children’s Hospital is near and dear to my heart.
I was proud to see the nearly $600k in federal funding I secured in 2023 finally come to fruition as the new El Paso Children’s Pediatric Mobile Clinic was officially unveiled.

While Democrats fight to extend health insurance tax credits for hard-working Americans, Donald Trump’s pollster is instructing Republicans to change the subject.
These are the same people who want us to believe the affordability crisis is a “hoax.”

Millionaire tax-flight is a myth.
In states like WA and MA, these new revenues have been invested in educational programs that support early learning, childcare, free school lunches, community college, and even public transportation.

So not only do millionaires stay in their communities, but increased tax rates are successful on making their own their communities wealthier by raising revenue.

But studies have consistently found that the top 1 percent of income earners typically move out of the New York less than any other income group.
This top slice of income moved out of the state at an average rate of 0.2 percent on net.
We've seen this flimsy justification used for years as a rallying cry against raising taxes on the wealthy.
Most notably, we saw it in the NYC mayoral race last month.

And it makes sense.
Why would you leave a community that you've invested your life, families, network, and businesses in?
Of the top income earners who do leave a state, only a sliver -- just over 2 percent -- have left because they want to cut their taxes.
That's 0.05% of millionaires leaving because of high taxes!

A study published in the American Journal of Sociology states that of the roughly 500k households per year that report at least $1 million in income on their tax returns, only 2.4 percent, or 12,000 millionaires, migrate to another state.
