This Thursday, families will gather around their tables to eat together. But far too many families will struggle to even put food on the table because of this regime’s cruelty.
No family deserves to go hungry, but Republicans' historic cuts to SNAP are only making hunger worse.

My colleagues said that military and intelligence officers should uphold the Constitution.
The regime’s response? Death threats towards elected officials and politically motivated investigations.

Finally, Trump acknowledges the health care crisis he created. It’s about time, though his “fix” has the seeds of further chaos.
In the midst of skyrocketing ACA premium costs, we need a clean ACA tax credit extension now.

DOGE's stated mission was to weed out waste, fraud and abuse.
And after they wasted over $21 billion of YOUR taxpayer dollars, it looks like they finally found it — in themselves.

From making the largest cuts to SNAP in their Big Ugly Bill to forcing health care costs to skyrocket, Republicans are making life historically harder for Americans.

Trump ran on ending all wars. Instead, he's laying the groundwork to start a new one.
He is playing politics with our military and threatening our national security, all without even consulting Congress.

Instead, they agreed with what Democrats have been saying from the beginning: We cannot get rid of FEMA.

But instead, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is publishing nothing.

First, they made historic cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, and now, they are cutting housing grants that could put 170,000 people at risk of homelessness.
It's a disgrace.

Over the last 377 days, Trump has pocketed almost 2 BILLION dollars and counting.
He is profiting off a regime that has stripped millions of health care, let millions go hungry, and is raising the cost of nearly everything for Americans.
It's corrupt.

The lack of affordability is not a "Democratic con job" or a "perception issue".
It's because we have a White House that lies about lowering costs and pretends like affordability isn't an issue.

Over the last 43 days, the priorities of Democrats and Republicans have been crystal clear.
