Trump has accepted $300 million from corporations and CEOs in order to demolish part of the White House and build his ballroom. We’re already seeing government handouts to these billionaires and get ready for more.

These are the 37 donors helping pay for Trump's $300 million White House ballroom

The White House's list of 37 donors to President Donald Trump's $300 million ballroom project includes crypto billionaires, powerful financiers, tobacco companies, tech giants, media companies, longti...

I just introduced the Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act with Reps. Nick LaLota, Jen Kiggans, and Chrissy Houlahan as a new, standalone, *bipartisan* bill to expand TRICARE coverage of IVF for service members and their dependents. We won’t stop fighting for this!

Cutting 35,000 jobs at the VA won’t improve the quality or efficiency of health care for veterans – but it will worsen existing problems. This is the fundamentally wrong approach to delivering the best possible care to our veterans.

VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs

Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

The Trump Administration is cancelling naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies at the last minute to delay people from becoming U.S. citizens. We should be expanding and reforming legal pathways to citizenship – not closing them off.

Naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies canceled across the nation, in San Diego

Immigrants who made it through the process of becoming naturalized citizens are seeing their oath ceremonies being canceled amid the Trump Administration's crackdown.

Trump has funnelled $2 BILLION of taxpayer dollars away from critical priorities like upgrading military barracks and repairing schools for military kids to fund his mass deportation agenda. He’s actively hurting our military readiness and morale.

$2 Billion in Pentagon Funds Said to Go to Anti-Immigrant Operations

Making this horrific choice, especially during Hanukkah and in the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach attack, is disgusting. Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive” – they are explicit endorsements of hate against Jews and the Black community. Reverse this now.

Coast Guard enacts policy calling swastikas, nooses ‘potentially divisive’

The Coast Guard’s workplace harassment manual that downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses quietly went into effect this week.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 15(source)

Especially this year, it’s so important to remember that Hanukkah teaches us that even in the darkness, we can find the light. I hope everyone celebrating finds peace and strength.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 14(source)

Antisemitism turned a beautiful community celebration of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach into a nightmare. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the people of Australia. Antisemitism is a global crisis — and we need to work together to end it.

Bondi Beach: British-born rabbi among 11 killed, as police investigate attack on Jewish community

Eli Schlanger was a father of five, his family tells the BBC. At least two dozen people were also injured in the attack.

I’m so devastated for the students, teachers, and faculty at Brown University, some of whom have now personally experienced TWO school shootings. Let’s not waste time with all the political back and forth nonsense — we need to actually do something to prevent the next shooting.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 12(source)

Donald Trump’s White House is always pay-to-play, so I’m not surprised in the slightest that after Big Tech donated to his ballroom project and lavished him with praise for months, he’s now eliminating the rules trying to keep them in line.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Neuter State A.I. Laws

Or here’s an idea: end the tariffs and there’s no need for this $12 billion bailout for farmers.

Trump offers $12 billion taxpayer bailout for farmers harmed by his tariff policies

Farmers have been slammed by reductions in foreign purchases as a result of Trump’s obsession with import taxes

One of Donald Trump Jr.’s companies just got a $620 million Pentagon contract – the biggest ever made by the Office of Strategic Capital. Coincidence? I think not.

Trump Jr.-Backed Company Cashes In on Massive Pentagon Contract

What a coincidence!

Expanding the militarized zone around San Diego doesn’t make us any safer. Ultimately, it’s expensive, useless, and attempts to normalize our troops being used to support domestic law enforcement which is anything but normal.

Trump administration adds militarized zone in California along southern US border

The newly designated militarized zone extends nearly from the Arizona state line to the Otay Mountain Wilderness, traversing the Imperial Valley and border communities, including Tecate.

Donald Trump has no idea how to actually combat the drug epidemic. He’s pardoned literal drug traffickers and killed people who aren’t even carrying fentanyl.

Trump pardons major drug traffickers despite his anti-drug rhetoric

The president has granted clemency to about 100 people accused of drug-related crimes during his two terms in office, a Post analysis shows.

The UAE is the biggest and most consistent funder of the RSF's genocidal campaign in Sudan. That’s why we need to use our significant leverage and pass my Stand up for Sudan Act to block U.S. weapons sales to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF.

Sudan's bloody civil war is worsening a major humanitarian crisis

Aid delivery remains extremely difficult in violence-ridden areas, where clashes continue between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Our federal agencies are struggling to recruit and retain the AI talent we need to serve and protect the American people. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan and bicameral AI Talent Act to change that.

New bill aims to supercharge American AI talent in federal government

The AI Talent Act would establish hiring teams throughout the federal government focused on artificial intelligence talent.

“Free speech” – but only if it reflects Donald Trump’s reality and makes him look good. www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/m...

Analysis: Trump’s first year back in office contradicts his ‘free speech’ commitments | CNN Business

Nora Benavidez of the nonprofit advocacy group Free Press set out to catalog the Trump administration’s First Amendment infringements. She soon had a list of almost 200.

Donald Trump’s presidency has been great for rich people and corporations – but not the small business owners who are facing rising costs and are forced to lay off their workers to try to keep their doors open.

For small businesses hit by soaring costs, layoffs are painful and personal

Lacie Carroll-Marsh had to lay off 17 of her 31 employees this year: “We have Christmases together. And it hurts. There’s tears on both sides.”

ICE is zip-tying kids and going after your hardworking friends and neighbors – not violent criminals. Just look at the data.

Most Immigrants Arrested in City Crackdowns Have No Criminal Record

In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.

Democrats are ready to pass an ACA tax credit extension to keep people on their health care. Just saying.
