Our federal budget is a statement of our values. What's in Donald Trump's budget? Cuts to cancer research and food for little babies. And $1.5 TRILLION to the Pentagon to be sucked up by defense contractors and Trump's forever wars.
TRUMP WANTS TO SPEND $1.5 TRILLION ON THE PENTAGON WHILE CUTTING FUNDING FOR:

* CANCER RESEARCH
* INFECTIOUS DISEASE CONTROL
* ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
* PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT
* FOOD FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN
* SMALL BUSINESSES
* HIGHER EDUCATION
* K-12 SCHOOLS
* NASA

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

He says he wants to bring meritocracy back to our military. He says he has our warfighters' backs. But here he is, the most unqualified SecDef in history, denying troops a promotion that their fellow warfighters decided they've earned. Hegseth is a disgrace to our heroes.

Let’s be clear: Republicans have voted against Democrats’ proposals to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and the Coast Guard 14 times.   They control the Senate, the House and the White House—and have had every opportunity to end the pain of this shutdown.

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance. Where are their Republican senators?
Three panels of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying:

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, a 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR to keep their coverage.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

For families already hanging on by their fingernails, that could be a matter of life and death.

Americans deserve more opportunity for jobs, to smart small businesses, and to invest – but they’re only getting chaos and uncertainty.

We found the real fraud.
(above an image of Elon Musk) While Elon Musk was busy slashing consumer protections and food for poor kids, the Trump administration agreed to pay SpaceX another $38,858,978

(below the image) Trump and Elon aren't uncovering fraud, waste, and abuse of power-they are creating it.

Yesterday, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Today, he endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. Republicans will say anything in their plot to take money from you and give it to their billionaire donors. It's all lies and broken promises. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program.
Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/x9JkeY9F
