President Trump’s decision to eliminate the 988 LGBTQ+ youth lifeline will cost lives. In the face of a youth mental health crisis and rising attacks against the LGBTQ+ community, we cannot afford to lose this life-saving resource.

This Democrat Won’t Let Go of the Jeffrey Epstein Case, Either

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

House Minority Leader Jeffries has been speaking for nearly five hours, which buys us more time to put some last-minute pressure on Republicans.

Call your GOP representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Many GOP House members are waffling, undecided or even leaning no on this bill. Call your Rep. Go to their district office if you can. You're not alone in this, we're organizing everywhere, and we need as many of us as possible. Post about it online, tag them, today is the day to do EVERYTHING

The Senate has passed their devastating billionaire tax giveaway.

Three Republican Senators voted not: Sen Collins, Tillis and Paul. Vance got to pretend to be a big boy and break the tie.

The bill now will go to the House for a final vote Wednesday afternoon at the earliest. Let's be LOUD

BREAKING: I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor

Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill

So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor

We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it

It sounds like a caricature, but under the proposed budget bill, literally millions of people will likely lose their access to health care to pay for over $200 billion in tax breaks for companies that move jobs and money overseas.

The current budget plan on Capitol Hill would throw 16 million people off their health insurance thanks to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts – which could force 338 hospitals to close down. All to give tax cuts to billionaires.

$75 billion firm wins carve-out in tax bill after lobbying push Lobbyists for a private equity firm were paid to influence Congress on the obscure provision, records show.

Here's how the billionaires take us all for fools:
Financier wins $1 billion offshore tax handout for the low price of $2m in campaign donations + $500k spent on DC lobbyists.
That's swampy math for you.

NYT found the β€œbig beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990.

In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.*

Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
