The Pedophile Protection Party tried everything to keep the Epstein Files from coming out.
That's why we needed to pass a discharge petition to get a vote on the House Floor to get the truth out because GOP leadership refused to act.
It's time for answers and transparency.

153,074 jobs were cut in October, the highest since 2003.
Republicans broke the economy, fueled mass layoffs, and now want to blame Democrats because the numbers look bad.

The White House says that key inflation and jobs data for October will “likely never” be released due to the government shutdown.
The last time a shutdown delayed a jobs report was in October 2013, when the report was delayed by a few weeks.

We’re 36 days into the longest shutdown in American history.
All it would take to end this shutdown is for Republicans to agree to extend ACA tax credits, something that would directly help millions of Americans.
It’s way past time to get to the negotiating table and end this.

No billionaire will ever see their credit score drop because of medical debt but millions of working people will.
This administration would rather give tax cuts to billionaires and side with credit bureaus and corporate interests, while people are penalized for getting sick.

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.
The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

Defunding food banks is a new level of cruel.
The Trump admin cut $500 million in food bank deliveries. These are the very food banks families are being forced to rely on with SNAP funding running out on Nov 1.
96 million pounds of food wasted is heartless.
