Cancer is not a Democratic or Republican concern—it touches all Americans from every background. Tragically, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are undermining cancer research for all to fund more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.

As President Trump’s tariff taxes continue to raise costs on everyday goods, local food banks are already struggling to keep food on the shelves. It won’t help that Congressional Republicans are trying to cut $300 billion from America’s food assistance programs to pay for more.

“The actual impact would likely hit a far broader range of Americans, including some of the most vulnerable people the GOP has promised repeatedly to protect”. “They include children, people with disabilities and senior citizens.”.

The Republican budget betrayal is very simple:. It takes from the poorest Americans to give another handout to the richest among us. It’s morally reprehensible.

Enabled by President Trump and Congressional Republicans, the richest man in the world is gutting the Social Security Administration and undermining essential services that seniors rely on to obtain their earned benefits. This isn’t about waste or fraud—it’s about funding cuts.

Many of the major changes the U.S. DOGE Service pushed at Social Security have been abandoned or are being reversed after proving ineffective, while others are yielding unintended consequences and badly damaging customer service and satisfaction.

Thankful to @Rep_Magaziner for his leadership in the fight to ban congressional stock trading. As an original cosponsor of his TRUST in Congress Act, we’ll keep working to ensure lawmakers are focused on the well-being of the American people—not their personal stock portfolios!.

Baseball players can’t bet on games because there’s too much opportunity to cheat. So why are Members of Congress allowed to trade stocks? . I’m glad to have @repcleaver on our team to ban stock trading in Congress once and for all.

More than 90,000 Missourians could lose their healthcare if the Republican budget betrayal is passed into law—all so billionaires can get another massive handout. @HouseDemocrats will continue fighting to protect the healthcare of working class families.

“People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income”. “By contrast, the top 0.1 percent, including those with incomes over $4.3 million, would gain on average more than $389,000 in after-tax income”.

This despicable politicization of the law is yet another page out of the authoritarian playbook. President Trump and MAGA Republicans think they can intimidate lawmakers from upholding their lawful oversight duties by filing baseless charges. It won’t work. I stand with.

For the first time in history, Moody’s has stripped the United States of it’s top-of-the-line credit rating due to our rising debt. So why are Republicans moving forward with legislation that would add $5 TRILLION to our national debt, while ripping healthcare away from nearly.

The GOP’s budget betrayal rips healthcare away from millions of working class families and takes food away from millions more—all while exploding the national deficit. It’s more reverse Robin Hood economics that puts billionaires over working families.

The GOP's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a disaster in the making. Slashing Medicaid, cutting food aid, and repealing clean energy credits-all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. This isn't budgeting; it's cruelty disguised as policy. While Republicans scramble, every House.
