A budget is a statement of values. Donald Trump’s budget identifies what’s important to him — and what is not.
His budget will make America sicker, poorer and less educated.
He proves once again that he doesn’t care about hard-working Americans.

That's why I'm proud to support the Equality Act, which strengthens federal protections against discrimination.
How long until Republicans and right-wing media personalities start saying having more than two toys is woke?
I'm proud to join my colleagues to introduce the Medicare for All Act. You can read my full press release here: escobar.house.gov/news/documen...
As the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, it is a tragedy that millions of Americans remain uninsured.
It’s long past time we right this wrong and finally accept, as a country, that healthcare is a human right.
Apparently Trump's never heard the phrase, "the buck stops with me."

Don't believe me? Read his own words, just a year apart.
Trump, August 2024: "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."
Trump, October 2024: "Starting on Day One of my new administration, we will end inflation, and we will make America affordable again."
Trump, April 2025: "Hang tough!"

It's been almost a 100 days into Trump's presidency, yet the country is still waiting for him to lower inflation like he promised to on "day one."
No wonder only 35% of Americans approve of his handling of inflation.

Can’t believe the Biden administration never thought of tweeting at Putin and asking him to stop the war
In an era of division, two women chose forgiveness when confronting the white supremacist who slaughtered their loved ones in the horrific Aug 3, 2019 attack in El Paso.
