Trump: And we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if everything goes wrong.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” 

You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. That’s who we are.  

This speech – and this President – is not who we are.

Reminder:

Donald Trump and Republicans’ budget would obliterate Medicaid – stripping health care access and benefits from millions and millions of Americans.

All to pay for his tax cut for billionaires.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Illegally and arbitrarily fired by Elon Musk, my constituent Dr. Lauren McGee is standing strong with me for all federal employees at the Joint Address in the Capitol tonight.

Lauren's pediatric cancer research at the NIH saves lives, but DOGE throws everything into chaos.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Let’s keep this simple:

Tariffs = a Trump Tax.

Prices are sky high – and what Donald Trump is doing will only make them higher.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
