Another broken promise from Trump. Apparently there is no money for your health care but there is about $300 million of YOUR tax dollars for his gold-plated ballroom.

This is an absolute tragedy. I'm grateful for the first responders on the scene, and my thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those whose lives were lost in this horrific incident.
Eight people aboard a B-52 bomber that crashed shortly after takeoff Monday morning at a U.S. Air Force base in Southern California’s Mojave Desert are believed to be dead, according to the Air Force. apnews.com/article/b52-crash…

Dreamers grew up in America. They study, work, and live in America. They make America better, and they belong in America. 🇺🇸 The Dream Act is bipartisan. We should pass it today. There is no need to force these young people to live in fear and uncertainty.
DACA recipients provide nearly $16 billion to the U.S. economy each year & 37% have U.S. citizen children. Our country is better because they are here.

Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire. Republicans CHOSE to drive up costs and force families to drop insurance. They chose tax cuts for giant corporations and billions for ICE over health care for American families.
"Don't get hurt. Don't get sick. Because you can't afford that": They're uninsured after Obamacare became too costly — and they're far from alone. cbsn.ws/43A7ccA

14 Republican attorneys general are seriously arguing that medication abortion is a threat to America's waterways. It is as unhinged and insane as it sounds. These people will do or say anything to force women to stay pregnant. America's pro-choice majority needs to get LOUD.

Trump is cheering on a bad deal to end a war he should have NEVER started. American servicemembers killed and injured. Thousands of civilians killed. Billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire. All for a worse deal than what Obama negotiated without dropping a single bomb.

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it.   ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions. ms.now/news/trump-ice-detent…

🤳 CDC Director, Surgeon General, Assistant Secretary for Pandemic Preparedness, FDA Commissioner...is anybody there?    Ebola and hantavirus are on the rise—who’s in charge here? Well, thanks to Trump…nobody!

Exposing Americans to toxic chemicals is NOT "Making America Healthy Again."   And this isn't the only time Trump & his goons have put your health at risk to pad the pockets of giant corporations.    We need an EPA that looks out for families, NOT billionaires. cnn.com/2026/06/08/politics/…

So much for only going after violent criminals. Trump's DHS has no oversight or accountability. It is out of control, and Republicans just cut ICE another $70 BILLION check, no questions asked. The American people have been clear: enough is ENOUGH.

Only 3% of individuals detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first 14 months of the second Trump administration had a violent felony conviction, according to an @ABC News analysis of government data. abcnews.link/265IYoV

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the me he supports the Iran war "strongly." You support this war? You own the consequences: billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire, American servicemembers killed and injured, and economic pain here at home.

While Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities like groceries and gas, Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. At least Trump's policies are working for someone!

Democrats forced votes to BAN Trump’s slush fund to pay insurrectionists. Republicans blocked it—giving Trump the green light to use YOUR taxpayer dollars to pay convicted cop beaters and insurrectionists. It's disgusting and corrupt.
SCOOP: Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

My thoughts and prayers are with the Longview community as recovery efforts continue. It's a long road ahead, but I will do everything possible to support Longview.

Do my Republican colleagues also "love" inflation? I assume so since they continue to vote to protect Trump's tariffs and to continue Trump's war with Iran.
Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

It takes a lot of strength and courage to speak out after immense loss. My heart and thoughts are with you and your family, @RepMGP—thank you for sharing your story.
A few weeks ago, my husband and I lost a pregnancy. The physical toll was something not even my doctor prepared me for. The standard of care for women’s pain is medieval. We don’t need to agree on everything to agree this should be better.

Trump and Republicans can lie but the numbers don't. Inflation is UP and it's a direct result of Trump's tariffs and war with Iran.
Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

Today, President Trump announced that he intends to seize and occupy foreign territory. That means American boots on the ground—American lives at risk—in a war the American people strongly oppose. Yesterday, Trump declared that he ‘loves inflation,’ clearly he loves war just as much—so much for lower prices and no new wars. Trump promised this war would be quick and painless—that was more than 100 days ago. Since then, the American people have been paying the price for Trump’s directionless war of choice—gas is up 40%, inflation just hit a three-year high, and life gets more expensive every week. We should be ending this war, not expanding it. There is no objective, no exit strategy, and no end in sight. The moment we put American boots on the ground, we are sinking into a quagmire of Trump’s own making. Trump and Republicans are putting the lives of servicemembers at risk for no good reason, setting billions in taxpayer dollars on fire, and making life more painful and expensive for families here at home. Enough. No boots on the ground. This Republican majority must join Democrats in voting to put an end to this war.
Trump: "The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

AI has no business denying doctor-recommended procedures. I am leading the Democratic effort to shut down WISeR—Trump's backdoor scheme to privatize Medicare. We need to end AI prior authorization NOW.
