They didn’t sign up for DOGE to starve the VA and the Veterans Crisis Line. They didn’t sign up for DOGE to cut the 9/11 Survivor Health Program. But that’s precisely what DOGE is trying to do, and all to give tax giveaways to the Republican billionaires’ club. Democrats won’t stand for it.
DOGE isn’t making government more efficient. It’s creating more chaos. This isn’t what Americans signed up for. They didn’t sign up for DOGE to endanger their Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid benefits. They didn’t sign up for DOGE to fire air safety personnel in droves.
The House Republican bill could cut as much as $880 billion from Medicaid alone. That puts 80 MILLION Americans—kids, veterans, people with disabilities, rural Americans, the elderly—at risk. Democrats are standing up for the American people.
House Republicans are advancing a budget resolution clearing the way for perhaps the most draconian cuts to Medicaid ever—all so they can cut taxes for their billionaires’ club. Democrats will fight this plan tooth and nail.
Republicans are spending precious time trying to cater to the wishes of Trump’s billionaire buddies INSTEAD OF working to avoid a disastrous government shutdown that would hurt tens of millions of American families. Democrats are fighting for families.
Republicans want to push perhaps the biggest cuts to Medicaid ever, threatening care for kids and seniors, just so Trump's billionaire buddies can have another tax break. Democrats are fighting for YOU.
The GOP budget resolution will clear the way to pass massive tax giveaways for Trump’s billionaire buddies. From the moment Trump was sworn in—everything Republicans have done has been to help Trump's billionaire buddies. Democrats won't stop fighting for American families.
It’s been 3 years since Putin viciously invaded Ukraine and started killing civilians. But instead of standing for democracy—Trump spent today sucking up to Putin. It threatens our national security. Democrats will never give in to Putin and will never stop fighting for democracy.
On the third anniversary of Putin’s heinous war on the people of Ukraine: Trump is parroting Russian misinformation and propaganda. I will not stop fighting for freedom, for democracy, for truth, against this tyrant Putin, and for the American people.
Trump has always admired autocrats, strongmen, and bullies. Putin is going to eat his lunch, and America is going to suffer in the long term. Democrats will not stop fighting for freedom, for democracy, for the American people.
Donald Trump is showing weakness to Putin on the 3rd anniversary of Putin's heinous war on the people of Ukraine, and it goes back to a pattern for Trump:
But today, Donald Trump is turning his back on the values that America stands for. Donald Trump is showing weakness to Putin and endangering America’s security tomorrow. Democrats will not stop fighting for democracy.
Until now, the United States has been clear on where we stand: With Ukraine, for democracy, for the inviolability of borders, and the freedom of nations, and against Putin.
Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin brought expanded war and destruction to the free people of Ukraine. Putin's heinous war has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
McVey and his team fought back against German soldiers on the front lines. He was awarded a Croix de Guerre, France’s highest military honor, and a Purple Heart medal.
Bessie Smith, the Empress of the Blues, was the highest paid Black entertainer of her time. —Sang and toured with Ma Rainey —Recorded with musicians like Louis Armstrong —Performed at famous clubs of the Harlem Renaissance like The Apollo, the Cotton Club, the Harlem Opera House

This new “OPM” (read: DOGE) email was sent to Air Traffic Controllers.  That’s right. Trump, Musk, and DOGE are diverting Air Traffic Controllers from their vital work keeping Americans safe by forcing them to do busy work! I’m fighting to keep our aviation system safe.
