#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Like tough-love teachers from your school days, Ms. Clinton brings an assignment for the long weekend: When you gather with friends & family, tell them how the GOP budget hurts kids. Now we know: she’s been right all along.

On January 6, 2021, President Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol—and yet the plaque honoring the officers who defended us sits forgotten in the basement. If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will. I’m proud to affix this replica outside my office.

Yesterday, in the context of an emergency (there was none) motion with no argument and limited briefing, the Court overturned almost a century of precedent to just about end independent agencies. This is not how real courts behave. #notacourt.

Jen Kiggans voted for the GOP’s budget bill, which includes massive Medicaid cuts, because she’d rather be in good graces with Trump than protect Virginians’ health care. Despicable. #VA02

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

Republicans want to kick 7.6M people off Medicaid to save $625B over 10 years. Universal healthcare with Medicare for All would guarantee everyone healthcare and save $650B every year. Republicans don’t care about healthcare or saving money — they want to harm people.

Remember when Republicans pretended to care about deficits? I'm sure you do since it was literally six months ago and for four years before that.
 Now they're perfectly fine adding $2.5 trillion to the deficit to pay for their billionaire tax giveaway — while gutting Medicaid. Sadly predictable.
