  161 years ago, the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas—more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

  Surprise, surprise. Trump promised no taxpayer money for his $600M ballroom. But the whole time the White House knew the project would be heavily paid for using tax dollars. Lie after lie after lie. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

  $70B for ICE and CBP. $350B for the military. Not a dime for you.

  Republicans in Congress finally passed their massive $70 billion ICE and CBP funding bill after multiple months of effort.

  According to a new report, the Social Security trust fund—which helps pay Social Security benefits—will now run out of money in 2032, a year earlier than expected. Why? Because Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is depleting the fund faster.

  Last week Senate Republicans passed a bill to give $70B to ICE and CBP so Trump can continue causing chaos in American communities. The bill did nothing to kill Trump’s $1.8B fund for his allies. It did nothing to lower prices that have surged due to Trump’s tariffs and…

  In case you missed it, last night: Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to kill Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of taxpayer money for his MAGA allies. Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to prevent Trump’s ballroom from being built without Congressional approval.

  I’m glad that some Republicans finally grew a spine and said no to Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of money for Jan. 6 rioters. But let’s be clear: that’s only half of this corrupt deal. The other half is the DOJ giving Trump immunity from any tax crimes he, his family, or businesses…

  I supported this resolution and am glad to see it finally pass the House. Trump’s war with Iran has been a disaster. It’s time for it to end.

  Trump’s presidency has become primarily a vessel for pursuing his own interests. The White House seems busier promoting a UFC fight on the south lawn for Trump’s birthday than doing anything to bring down the high costs that Trump himself forced on us. The American people are…

  Trump started this war and said high prices were a “small price to pay” to achieve the war aims. Well, he hasn’t met those aims, can’t find a way to end the war, Americans are stuck with the higher prices he caused, and what's his response to talks failing? “I don’t care”
