Because it's the truth. That's something Donald Trump wouldn't recognize if it hit him in the face.

You know what else is true?

Republicans are ripping health care from 15 million Americans and cutting SNAP benefits for women and children. Explain that.

A family of four will have to pay $2,571 more next year if Republicans refuse to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Re-opening government and ending their health care crisis? That's my main priority.

Sick? You know what’s sick — stormtroopers in Newington. Children terrified. Families destroyed. You turned American neighborhoods into hunting grounds.

Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.

Horrifying. The more we find out about today’s shooting, the more unspeakable it becomes. @SpeakerJohnson : Convene Congress now. We need to pass an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. Enough is enough.

This is exactly why I’m a co-sponsor of @RepJohnLarson 's Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act (H.R. 1877)!

Connecticut stands with Rep. Corey Paris.
He shouldn't face threats for speaking up to protect his constituents.

The real threats are this administration's attacks on due process and free speech. That should alarm us all.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has put more than $21 BILLION back in Americans’ pockets.

Donald Trump and his ‘DOGE’ are dismantling it to shield fraudsters from accountability. We’ll continue to fight this attack on working families in the courts and in Congress!
