Republicans are ripping health care from millions and driving up the cost of living to support Trump’s tariffs, war, gilded ballroom, and now a $1.8 billion slush fund for his friends. As Americans struggle in Trump's failing economy, Democrats are fighting to lower costs for everyone.

Trump said he wanted to 'drain the swamp.' Instead, he has filled the sewer with corruption, cronyism, conflict, and chaos while taking a chainsaw to the Constitution. I will continue to fight to hold the President accountable and call out his Republican majority for being complicit in his schemes.

Republicans claim they're working to ensure America's energy independence & prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Their cuts to clean energy & nuclear defense funding do the exact opposite. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will keep fighting to lower energy costs & reduce nuclear threats.

The DOJ's settlement is just the latest example of Trump's unchecked schemes to enrich himself, his family, and his friends at the taxpayers’ expense. Congress must assert its oversight power and use every tool to hold this President and his Administration accountable for this rampant corruption.

Barney Frank and I both came to the Congress in 1981 & have been close friends for over four decades. Across a range of issues, & on behalf of those in Massachusetts & the entire country, Barney was a tireless champion. He'll long be remembered for his courage. May his memory be a blessing to all.

While their war of choice in Iran continues to drive energy costs up even more, Trump and Republicans are working to slash critical funding for projects that provide affordable clean energy and counter nuclear terrorism. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back:

I commend the courage of Amin Abdullah, the law enforcement, and first responders who took swift action to protect members of the community. My prayers are with the victims and their families, those who attend and worship at the center, and the entire Muslim community at this time.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.gov2d ago(source)
I am horrified by the tragic shooting that occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego. The rise of hate-fueled attacks against religious communities is deeply disturbing & completely unacceptable. Islamophobia should have no place in our country or the world, & every American ought to be concerned.

Republicans' funding bill makes dangerous cuts to programs that protect Americans, support scientific development, and mitigate the pain from Trump's illegal tariffs and war of choice with Iran.
