Let me get this straight - he promised to lower prices and eliminate inflation on “day one!” But we should pretend he never said that because he’s decided to raise prices and tank our economy in order to usher in his “golden era” at some point in the future?

@housedemocrats.bsky.social know the value of our teachers, our students, and our education system.

Proud and inspired to join hundreds of thousands of people across the country to stand up and show what democracy looks like.

New week, same GOP priorities. Except Republicans are sitting on their hands as Trump triggers the worst three day S&P crash in decades.

We're back in DC to vote on pressing Republican priorities: eliminating caps on overdraft fees, rigging the judiciary system in their favor, and disenfranchising millions of women from voting. I'm sure Americans appreciate the GOP making life more expensive and difficult!

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialApr 7(source)

When asked if there was a limit to the economic pain he was inflicting, Trump called the question "so stupid." He does not care that your retirement plummeted or that he's wiped out billions in savings. His response was "sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something."

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialApr 4(source)

While Trump and the GOP claim to be for all Americans, don’t believe what they say. Believe what they do and understand the economic pain they are inflicting on all of us are for the benefit of the wealthy few. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

And what business executives are saying behind closed doors.

As Senate Republicans vote on a budget that will give billionaires massive tax breaks, it’s clear where their loyalties lie.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialApr 4(source)

Donald Trump is gambling with our money and economy. Workers are losing jobs, costs are going up, and retirees are seeing their savings evaporate yet HE won’t be subjected to the financial “pain” that he says Americans must feel.

REPORTER: The markets today are way down. The worst day in years. Because of the tariffs. So, how's it going? TRUMP: I think it's going very well. It was an operation like when a patient gets operated on.

This is what happens when people are hired for their loyalty to Donald Trump rather than their competence.

RFK Jr. announces HHS reinstating some programs, employees cut by mistake

On the heels of terminating 10,000 jobs from the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told ABC News some programs would soon be reinstated because they were mistakenly cut.

Freudian slip. Freudian slip. Freudian slip.

Mike Johnson is trying to kill a bill that would permit proxy voting for new parents because it's "unconstitutional" YET 1) he himself has voted by proxy 39 times 2) he let one Republican cast a vote for their colleague despite that member being across the country to be on TV

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 31(source)

Trump's troubling comments about a third term are said hoping they can make enough news to distract from their utter incompetence with #SignalGate and the fact we're headed to a recession because of Trump economic policies. We can chew gum and walk at the same time.

Unions gave us the 40-hour workweek, labor protections, basic benefits, safer workplaces, and the leverage working Americans needed. Threatening unions threatens millions of workers across the country – all to protect billionaires and big corporations’ profits.

President Trump's new executive order ends collective bargaining for wide swaths of federal employees, as part of his broader campaign to reshape the government's workforce. Unions are vowing to sue.

Despite ongoing measles outbreaks, the Trump administration is slashing budgets and staffing for the very agency that protects communities from deadly diseases. Trump is making Americans sicker and poorer to give tax breaks to billionaires. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services

States have been told that they can no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

The bipartisan American Families United Act is a critical step in the right direction. I look to working with my colleagues to advance this crucial legislation.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 27(source)

These provisions prevent undocumented spouses of Americans from getting any legal protections whatsoever. Americans recognize that it is in our country’s best interests to restore legal pathways for immigrants and keep families together.
