BREAKING: The Senate just passed my legislation to undo Trump’s idiotic tariffs on Canada. I challenged him and won this battle. Next stop: the House.

Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

Trump said he was going to cut federal spending, yet renaming DoD may cost up to $2B. Autocratic movements use spectacle, not strategy, to consolidate control.

Judge denies N.J. Rep. McIver’s request to dismiss Trump administration charges A judge said U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver failed to show her prosecution was selective and vindictive.

The regime targeted Rep. McIver for conducting legislative oversight at an ICE facility in her district (or doing her job).

We hoped the courts would recognize this for the political persecution it is and dismiss the charges. Unfortunately, a federal judge ruled that the case could go to trial.

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

I'm too scared to look but I saved your post. Eventually I will have to look.

(Upbeat narrator’s voice) But the people of New Jersey and Virginia wanted transgender for everybody, and it was good

At a time that health care and cost-of-living is way too high for everyday families, Congress must extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits to keep health insurance costs lower.

Not doing so would be a huge step backwards on the delivery and access of health care in NH communities.

Let’s be clear what’s at stake: If Congress doesn’t extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, the American people will be left footing the bill for soaring health care costs at a time when too many are struggling to stay afloat.

Millions of people woke up and saw how much their ACA insurance premiums were going up and realized what the Democrats were fighting for and it’s showing by the election results especially when you have a $1 billion dollar Halloween party when people are starving!

Last week, I led 108 House Democrats in a letter to Speaker Johnson highlighting how letting the ACA tax credits expire will impact the small business community. We’re demanding that he extends this lifeline to help small business owners and employees afford their coverage.

Democrats handily won the gubernatorial races in NJ and VA, the NYC Mayoral race, Prop 50, the PA Supreme Court and took firm control of the VA legislature

Hell, they even flipped seats in Mississippi

Now it's time to press their advantage during the Trump shutdown and fight for changes to the ACA

At day 36, today marks the longest government shutdown in history.

ACA health care premiums are doubling and our most vulnerable are going hungry without SNAP benefits.

Speaker Johnson and Republicans need to come to the negotiating table and end the shutdown now.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Huge. HUGE. We know Lily Franklin and are thrilled to have been part of this.

Remember those 8,000 postcards we all wrote at the Ix Art Park? It was worth it!!

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

cost of shutdown to the US economy? 15 billion per week (originally stated as “per day”, twice, by Scott Bessent).

Cost of ACA subsidies extension: 350 billion dollars over ten years.

15 billion per day x 36 days = $540 billion dollars

15 billion per week x 36 days = $75 billion dollars.

Schumer and Jeffries are taking the right tone here. Call your Senators and tell them you solidly support continuing the subsidies for the ACA. Then send your local food bank a generous check, better yet a monthly donation so they can plan.

Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won.

And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states!

This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.
