ICE is planning to spend your hard earned tax dollars on a $100 MILLION digital propaganda campaign. Don't be swayed by this publicity stunt.

The Federal Reserve is an independent agency. You don’t get good economic policy by threatening to arrest the guy doing the math.

Who did Trump give advance notice to about an invasion of Venezuela? Congressional leadership? No. Oil company executives? Yes. 🤔

Last year, over half of Americans lived paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, the 10 richest American billionaires saw their wealth grow by more than $360 BILLION. Trump and Congressional Republicans' solution? Give them even more tax cuts. We need to tax the rich!

Yesterday, the House voted to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, lowering healthcare costs for nearly every American. Leader Thune must bring it up for a vote in the Senate immediately!

The shooting came as Minneapolis grappled with a federal agent’s killing of a woman a day earlier, prompting calls from local leaders for an end to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

2025 had the weakest job growth since… 2020. Interesting.

Less than 1% of the Epstein files have been released and most of it is unnecessarily redacted. What are they hiding? The Trump administration must comply with federal law and release the full files now!

Thank you to everyone who helped apply the pressure needed to force action from the House Republican majority.

HUGE WIN! After months of work, @housedemocrats.bsky.social have succeeded in passing a bill that will restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits. I call on the Senate to follow our lead and vote now to lower premiums for millions of Americans.

Republican politicians let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, raising premiums for nearly every American. After months of Democratic efforts, the House will finally vote on restoring these tax credits. Republicans must join us to reverse these huge premium hikes.

ICE is making us LESS safe and we want them to get the f*ck out of our cities.

Renee Nicole Good, a loving mother, poet, and devoted member of her community, was murdered by an ICE agent. Instead of standing with the victim and her loved ones, the Trump administration is labeling her a “domestic terrorist” and defending the shooter.
