Trump Named in Epstein Emails Released by Democrats and Republicans

Epstein’s emails show Trump knew more than he admits. The full files must be released. The public deserves the truth.

Republicans’ funding bill does nothing to address their health care crisis. The American people deserve better. I’m voting NO!

Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, health care costs are skyrocketing & millions could lose their coverage. Families are paying the price for Republicans’ broken promises.

Great to have Rep. Grijalva as the newest member of the Democratic Caucus! The people of AZ-07 have a voice again in the House.

It shouldn’t have taken Speaker Johnson seven shameful weeks to swear her in so he could stall a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Thank you, @murray.senate.gov & @cantwell.senate.gov, for standing up for Washington families & working to prevent millions from losing their health care.

I am voting no. This funding proposal fails to address the fundamental needs of the American people.

Joined my @newdems.bsky.social colleagues for a trade & tariff roundtable to discuss how we can strengthen Washington’s economy, support our exporters, & push back against Trump’s reckless tariffs that are hurting our communities.

Italy's biggest pasta exporters plan to stop exporting their products to the US due to Trump's proposed 107% tariff on pasta.

Layoffs rise to recession-like levels through October, new report says Employers have announced 1.1 million job cuts so far this year, the highest reading since the pandemic, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Job cuts are skyrocketing to 1.1β€―million layoffs this year. Families are paying the price while Trump puts the wealthy first. We need policies that protect workers & grow our local economy.

Seniors shouldn’t face senseless barriers to care. We know prior authorization delays treatment & hurts patients, but the Trump administration wants to expand it in traditional Medicare. I’m fighting back with legislation to block this harmful plan.

Justice Sotomayor is right β€” only Congress has the power to tax. Trump’s tariffs are an illegal power grab that hurts American families & businesses.

Trump’s tariffs are an illegal tax on American businesses & families that are increasing prices. The Supreme Court should follow the law & the constitution & overturn them.

Trump is refusing to comply with multiple federal court orders that require him to pay SNAP benefits to the 42 million Americans who rely on the program to keep food on the table. He is forcing families to go hungry.

Trump’s trade policies are making beef more expensive for American families while abandoning local ranchers. We need trade policies that put our farmers & consumers first.

Judges say Trump administration must continue paying SNAP food stamp benefits during shutdown Two federal judges on Friday said the Trump administration must tap into contingency funds to make SNAP payments during the government shutdown.

It shouldn’t take a court order for a president to help feed families. Trump had the funds to pay SNAP benefits & chose not to. This ruling is a win for Americans & a reminder that compassion, not cruelty, should guide our government.

Health care premiums are rising. SNAP benefits aren’t being paid.

And House Republicans? They’re on vacation while Americans struggle to make ends meet.

Comment: Trump, GOP holding emergency SNAP funds over politics | HeraldNet.com Even during the shutdown, emergency funds could sustain food aid. It’s just another attack on SNAP.

SNAP puts food on the table for 900,000 Washingtonians & strengthens our economy. President Trump is choosing to cut off funding for it this weekend. This cruelty must end.
