It is unconscionable that American taxpayers are paying for these killings. Shame, shame on Donald Trump and the complicity of everyone who continues to look the other way. apnews.com/article/pale...

Despite all his bluster about fighting gangs, Trump’s corrupt bargain with Salvadoran Pres. Bukele is doing the opposite — covering up evidence of Bukele’s own dealings with MS-13 and undermining US efforts to fight the gang.
Trump makes a big show but the real killers get off.
Cutting Medicaid and food and nutrition programs while pushing his latest corrupt grift: a $249 perfume.
Tells you everything you need to know about Trump's priorities: Donald Trump first, everyone else (except his sweet-smelling billionaire buddies) last.
Trump continues his lawless, outrageous attack on our schools and education. This is another illegal withholding of funds and it cannot stand.
This Trump proposal disregards the safety of the men and women of the FBI.
Statement from Team MD: (2/2)
Let me be clear: I will oppose the use of any funds to move the FBI HQ to a location other than the Greenbelt site which was selected after exhaustive review because, unlike the Reagan Building, it is a secure location that meets the FBI's mission requirements. (1/2)
It’s a dark day in U.S. foreign policy as the Trump admin completes its illegal dismantling of USAID.
The dedicated men and women of USAID have set a shining example across the globe.
As this report shows, these cuts will have deadly consequences — and Trump and Rubio are responsible.
Today is a shameful day for the U.S. Senate.
Republicans just passed a bill that will kick millions off their health care and hurt American families — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Americans everywhere must stand up to stop this Great Betrayal in the House.
We've been on the Senate floor for 25 hours fighting this awful bill.
Republicans have blocked us at every step — while rewriting the bill behind closed doors to strong-arm their members into cutting health care for 17 million people to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
Shameful.
I think Senators from both parties were surprised to learn this bill includes a $100M slush fund for OMB.
That's right — while OMB guts FEMA funding and more, they want taxpayers to give THEM an extra $100M. I introduced an amendment to stop this scam. Shame on Republicans for blocking it.
Update: We have now been at this for 22 hours and Republicans are still hard at work trying to kick 17 million Americans off their health care to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
A part of this bill that hasn't gotten enough attention is that it includes over $162 BILLION in surplus funds for DHS, ICE, and Trump's lawless, anti-immigrant agenda.
It's so outrageous that even the Republican(!) chair of the Homeland Security Committee opposes these extra funds. Insane.
For over 15 hours, we've been offering amendment after amendment to try to change this abomination of a bill. Republicans have blocked us at every turn.
They are hellbent on ripping health care from millions to give tax cuts to billionaires. We will fight them to the bitter end.
I mean this is just unbelievable — they don't even know what's in THEIR OWN DAMN BILL.
This provision guts renewable energy and they have no clue know where it came from?? This entire process is rotten to its core.
It's hard to overstate how devastating this bill would be for American energy — crippling our supply at a time when electricity costs are already too high, and demand is soaring.
It will raise prices for Americans and put China in the driver's seat. A Republican-made disaster.
Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence."
If this bill passes, people will die.
Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.
Senate Republicans just blocked our amendment to prevent this terrible bill from defunding Planned Parenthood — raising more barriers to care for millions and further attacking reproductive care in America.
They're attacking health care from every angle with this bill.
Senate Republicans blocked Senator Merkley's amendment to prevent officials from selling access and enriching themselves with crypto schemes.
They're very busy cutting health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, but still found time to protect the Trump family's corruption. Outrageous.
Republicans are desperate to extend tax cuts for billionaires — but they just voted to DENY extending ACA tax credits for middle class Americans.
4.2 million people will lose health care if those tax credits expire, but Senate Republicans just don’t care.
Shameful.
The GOP bill slashes the CFPB in HALF — gutting an agency that's returned billions of dollars to victims of financial scams.
Republicans just blocked our amendment to stop their raid and stand up for consumers. Another gift for special interests, another betrayal of working people.
