Honored to be a Co-Chair for the Task Force on Aging and Families. Our task force will fight like hell to protect seniors against the Trump Administration's attempts to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare!
Treasury Secretary Bessent couldn't answer my simple question, "who pays tariffs" and House Republicans are fighting over how many people to kick off their Medicaid. Another week in Washington.
Let’s be clear: Across-the-board tariffs are taxes on hard-working Americans.
To mark Public Service Recognition Week, I have a special announcement to make: f*ck Donald Trump and Elon Musk! Thank you to all the federal workers who do so much for the people who live in my district each and every single day.
Why? To make room for a $5.5 trillion tax break for billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I broke it all down with today’s guest, @nzmurphy.bsky.social with @americanprogress.bsky.social.
More than 70 million Americans depend on Medicaid. But House Republicans are pushing a budget plan that doesn’t add up without slashing it.

Republicans continue to lie about their plans to cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid. But non-partisan experts showed what a middle schooler could calculate: the math does not math.
BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed what we already knew -- the Republican Budget plan will kick millions of people off their healthcare.
I joined MSNBC last night to recap the simple question that Secretary Scott Bessent was unable to answer: “Who pays tariffs?”
Joining @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on @msnbc.com in just a few minutes to discuss what Trump’s Treasury Secretary told me… or rather failed to tell me. Tune in!
Let’s be clear: Social Security is your f*cking money.

REP. POCAN: “Who pays the tariffs, Mr. Secretary? Answer the question.”
BESSENT: “Uh… uh… uh… it’s complicated.”
Fact: Consumers pay tariffs.

a stammering Bessent refuses to answer Mark Pocan's question about who pays tariffs
As someone who has run a small specialty printing business for more than 37 years, I know firsthand the importance of small businesses to our local community and national economy. Happy National Small Business Week!
Donald Trump’s across-the-board tariffs are causing the already high cost of groceries, housing, and other essentials to rise even further. I’m in favor of an economy that prioritizes working people by lowering the cost of living, not raising it with reckless tariffs.
Now, with Trump bending to the whims of big oil, he’s considering overturning that punishment. So much for America First…
The CEO of an American oil company was caught colluding with foreign oil-producing nations to keep gas prices high so his shareholders could make even more money. Lina Khan’s FTC prevented him from cashing in and joining Exxon's board.
If Elon Musk’s DOGE truly cared about government waste, it would make sense to focus on the one agency that has never passed an audit. Can you guess which one?
