Ways and Means Ranking Member @neal.house.gov and I are decrying the Trump Administration’s moves to funnel public dollars to private schools. I’m leading legislation to reverse this national school voucher scheme created by Congressional Republicans in their so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.
