When you go to pay your taxes today, remember that billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos got way more benefits from Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” than you or me! I explain how.
But big tax-prep companies like TurboTax and H&R Block pushed Trump to kill it. The fight isn’t over. My colleagues and I have introduced legislation to bring Direct File back!
Next month, I will be hosting my annual spring tour featuring town halls in all the counties across the district. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Today on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the more than 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. We are seeing a disturbing uptick in antisemitism and Holocaust denial and must all come together to condemn this bigotry wherever we see it.
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we should all be able to agree that a larger war budget than the next 35 countries COMBINED just doesn’t make any sense.
While more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Trump proposed an absurd $1.5 TRILLION war budget. A 42% increase over last year’s already ridiculously bloated budget. More than the next 34 countries combined. More than the height of military spending during World War II.
Do you have a private jet? No? Well, last year’s Republican Budget Bill made private jets tax deductible. When you’re filing your taxes this year, just remember who Trump and Congressional Republicans are looking out for.
Trump’s desired $1.5 trillion dollar war budget would cost more than the peak of World War II. Whether you believe we should prioritize actually helping Americans or you’re against adding trillions to the national debt, we must all come together to call out this absurdity.
Republican politicians campaigned on lowering costs. They now control the House, Senate, and White House. But from groceries, to gas, to housing, things are only getting worse. We need to shift our focus from foreign wars to making life more affordable!
But in early 2025, Trump took a sledgehammer to USAID, crushing our humanitarian efforts & diplomatic influence on the world stage. I had a great discussion with Allison McManus with @americanprogress.bsky.social on the importance of USAID and what comes next.
USAID’s funding was only about 0.5% of our total budget, yet its impact has been felt around the world. It provides health and education to some of the most impoverished people on the planet, saving millions of lives every year.
While more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Trump is trying to increase the war budget by a mind-boggling 42% to $1.5 TRILLION. This is an insult to the American people.
