Democrats are serious about setting you up for success at the American dream for you and your family if you work hard.
Republicans are fighting to take away your health care, make you sicker, hungrier, poorer, and using those taxpayer funds to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Some examples:
Rep. Greg Steube introduced legislation to rename the metro in Washington DC the "Trump Train."
Senator Bernie Moreno wants to award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for bombing Iran.
Rep. Luna wants to carve Trump's face on Mount Rushmore.
Their signature domestic bill slashes health care, increases hunger, and lowers the income of Americans earning less than $51k per year.
It's also worth pointing out how Republicans are more interested in pleasing and showing loyalty to Trump than working on your behalf.
While Democrats fight to raise the minimum wage, expand access to health care, strengthen programs like Social Security, and so much more, what are Republicans doing?
A thread on their harm and stunts 🧵
🚨 My amendment to reaffirm that ICE cannot detain or deport US citizens just passed with bipartisan support in our debate today on the Homeland Security funding bill.
It works by prohibiting ICE from using federal funding for this illegal, outrageous purpose.
Republicans that have celebrated in the three years since the Dobbs decision aren't pro-life or thinking about children.
They're celebrating controlling women.
In the three years since the Dobbs decision, l've heard countless stories from women and their heartbreaking struggles to receive reproductive care.
Republicans think they know better than women and their doctors. They're wrong.
Stephen Miller yelled at immigration officials to ramp up deportations saying, "You guys aren't doing a good job. What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot?"
He also owns between $100k and $250k in shares for a company used by ICE.

*The Department of Homeland Security should not fear Constitutional oversight visits from Members of Congress
When Democrats had the opportunity to pass a reconciliation bill, we focused on supporting families and prioritizing access to affordable, high quality childcare.
Republicans? They're choosing to cut your healthcare and prioritize tax cuts for billionaires.

SCOTUS has cleared the way for immigrants to be sent to countries they’ve never set foot in without notice or due process where they could possibly be tortured or killed.
It’s difficult to put into words how unconscionable this decision is - it defies every one of our legal and moral obligations.
Those who have nothing to hide should have nothing to fear with congressional oversight of an ICE facility.
There is no reason to deny legal entry for any member of Congress to a federally-run or federally-funded facility.

Congress must immediately be briefed on the intelligence that led to this military action and how the administration will ensure Americans are protected at home and abroad.
Donald Trump campaigned on immediate and unilateral peace - in Ukraine, in Israel, and here at home.
Instead, his administration is provoking regional conflict in the Middle East - all without Congressional approval.
I joined 70 of my colleagues to demand the immediate reversal of this policy.
Our veterans and the staff who serve them deserve better.

ICYMI: The Trump admin signed off on the removal of anti-discrimination measures that have long protected veterans including marital status, political affiliation, and other similarly protected rights of our VA staff, to include union membership.

Today is a celebration of freedom, but also a time to reflect on our nation’s history.
This Juneteenth, let us recommit ourselves that we must work to ensure America lives up to its promise of equality for all.
Doctors, patients, and parents - not jurists - should make medical decisions.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling celebrates and affirms government overreach, while actively threatening the wellbeing of trans youth in TN and beyond. Trans children need access to healthcare, not political interference.
I signed on to this bipartisan resolution to remind the President that the War Powers Act made it clear: only Congress has the authority to declare war.
