Trump’s big, bullshit bill will add $2.4 TRILLION to the deficit just so his rich friends can get a tax cut.

If passed, Trump’s latest scheme would blow a $2.4 trillion hole in the national debt to give handouts to billionaires and gut healthcare. Meanwhile, the latest jobs report shows fewer jobs and more folks struggling. So much for making America great. I guess that was never the plan.

Great job, Rep @joeneguse.bsky.social. Let me know when you want to come to Wyoming, and I'll gladly set up the events. Folks here care about the same issues as your constituents in COβ€”we just don't have any members of Congress interested in telling the truth.

I had a great time visiting with the Columbia University Dems and Louisiana Dems Vice Chair Katie Darling about the work our party is doing in Rural/Red America!

I read this morning that patriotism is on the rise β€” in Canada. And as the U.S. pulls back from its moral and economic commitments, European nations are stepping up to lead through uncertain times. Trump might just be making everywhere but America great again.

So let me get this straightβ€”gutting democracy, torching the economy, and dividing a nation and world is what counts as β€˜making America great again’? Just making sure I’m reading the dystopian manual correctly.

Now it’s time for new leaders to hit the trail and take the reins to the good work our partyβ€”and our stateβ€”deserve.

In Sep, I announced that I wouldn’t seek reelection as
@WyoDems Chair in 25. This role has been a highlight of my political life. The work is never easy, but it’s worth every effortβ€”and I've worked with incredible staff, leaders, and volunteers from WY and across the nation.

Senator Simpson had a way of making you feel welcome, of reminding you not to take yourself too seriously, and of bringing people together with a sharp wit and big heart. Like many others, I mourn his passing and am grateful for his legacy of service, leadership, humor, and decency.

Never before have I seen and heard a POTUS behave more shamefully and disgracefully than Donald Trump did today.

Opinion | How Trump’s federal funding pause hurts American farmers and drives up grocery prices How the administration's funding freeze threatens the infrastructure that keeps rural communities β€” and everyday America β€” running.

Trump & the GOP take rural America for grantedβ€”counting on votes while pushing policies that hurt farmers & small businesses. Trump’s funding freeze is just the latest example. Dems have a real shot to make inroads by showing up, listening, & fighting for these folks.

Republicans have been accusing Democrats of wanting to defund the police for years. Meanwhile, the Wyoming Freedom Caucus is busy turning that conspiracy theory into a to-do list.

2/2 The real danger is the erosion of our democratic values under the guise of protecting a faith that isn't under threat.

1/2 Christianity is not under attack in America. To say otherwise serves as a smokescreen for policies and behaviors that are truly harmful. It's weaponizing religion to justify bigotry and control. It's about using fear to consolidate power.

It's been a long time since John Barrasso had any credibility as a senator, but hearing him vote aye on forwarding the nomination of RFK Jr for HHS Secretary must have shredded whatever was left of his credibility in the field of medicine.

So much for "do no harm."

Thank you to everyone who supported my DNC Vice Chair campaign. While we didn’t cross the finish line, I’m proud of the conversations we had. Every candidate brought something valuable, and I’m glad to support Kansas Chair Jeanna Repass for Vice Chair. Let’s keep building!

Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair.

Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

Colorado is a vast and diverse state and @coloradodems.bsky.social Chair @shadmurib.bsky.social is working tirelessly with his team to build strong grassroots foundations in every cornerβ€”from the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains.
