We’re seeing so many extreme actions from the Trump administration.

These actions are hurting Arizonans. I want you to know that I’m doing everything in my power to stand up and fight back, even while Trump tries to avoid accountability. Here’s how: 🧡

Budgets are moral choices β€” and Republicans are proving once again that we don’t suffer from scarcity in this country, we suffer from greed.

We should be working to make health care affordable for all Americans, not padding billionaires’ pockets.

He Vowed to β€œProtect the Unborn.” Now He’s Blocking a Bill to Expand Medicaid for Wisconsin’s New Moms. Splitting with anti-abortion members of his own party, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has refused to join 48 other states in ensuring that vulnerable women have access to potentially lifesaving ...

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin.

There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

They cry β€œfree speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Let all Trumpists beware. Hitler murdered his henchman RΓΆhm. This is Trump's Morning of the Short Shiv. You could be next. Loyalty does not sustain fascism. Fear does.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.

Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.

I’m sadly not surprised β€” but I am still outraged.

While Americans slept last night, Senate Republicans moved forward their Big Bad Betrayal Bill, which would:

- push millions off health care
- make electric bills more expensive
- strip food assistance for hungry families

All to pay for a tax break for billionaires.
