Trump promised to end inflation "on Day 1,” but I see prices going up, not down 🤔
When I say something is my priority, I actually mean it.
Today, I introduced the Protecting Families From Inflation Act with @liccardo.house.gov and Rep. Cleo Fields to fight Trump's taxes and lower costs.

I have yet to have the chance to vote on a single piece of legislation to lower costs.
So I introduced my own – The Protecting Families From Inflation Act.

A woman makes 84 cents for every dollar a man makes. For a Black woman, it's 66 cents. That's BS.
It's LONG past time we get equal pay for equal work.
That's why this Equal Pay Day I'm supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act. No more keeping us down.

The Atlantic on Wednesday published a transcript of top Trump administration officials’ group chat this month discussing an imminent U.S. attack on Houthi militants in Yemen.
Atlantic releases transcript of Trump team’s Signal chat
The episode has infuriated Democrats, who have demanded resignations, and forced the White House to defend most of the administration’s top national security figures.

Last week, Trump ordered to shut down the Dept. of Education.
That’s not a coincidence.

1/ I strongly defend Mahmoud Khalil's right to *have* rights, due process, and all the other protections to which his green card entitles him. The way he is being treated is egregious and wrong. But I think we should be clear about what he has done. His actions do not constitute protected speech

1/ It’s possible to think two thoughts at once: 1. Khalil’s detention is Palmer-Raid-level abuse and 2. Khalil probably does support Hamas, because that’s the often-stated position of CUAD, the group he worked with.

We can stand up for the rights of immigrants and also acknowledge their violent rhetoric and antisemitic harassment is wrong.
Frank Foer's excellent deep dive into antisemitism at Columbia dredges up so much astounding stuff that no one else in the mainstream media has written about, it almost feels like samizdat. Gift link.
