Now it's time for the Senate to act.
Yesterday, President Trump announced he wants to add $500 BILLION to our already bloated defense budget.
If we can afford that, we can more than afford to extend these tax credits—and whatever it takes to create a more sensible + resilient health care system.

These investments exist because Democrats fought to restore dollars that Republicans tried to eliminate.
I’ll keep pressing for stronger investments in the months ahead, but the funding package we passed today is proof that when we stand our ground, we can deliver for the American people. (3/3)

Importantly, this bill strips out every single poison pill Republicans tried to jam in, including the pesticide liability shield that would've let chemical giants evade accountability.
No one should mistake this for Republicans suddenly embracing responsible governance. (2/3)

At a time when voting rights are under attack, this will add another obstacle for voters who follow the rules and mail their ballots on time—especially seniors and people in rural communities.
It’s ridiculous, unfair, and further proof that this Administration will do anything to suppress the vote.

If Trump really believed in “America First,” he’d focus on lowering health care costs and addressing the affordability crisis. Not spending untold billions invading other countries and stealing their resources.
NO WAR.
NO IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY.
NOT NOW. NOT EVER. (4/4)

You know who else thought that way?
Adolf Hitler.
Joseph Stalin.
You can bet his buddy Vladimir Putin supports this thinking, too.
It’s time we acknowledge this sad (and frankly terrifying) reality—and do everything we can to stop him. (3/4)

Invading Greenland wouldn’t just be a flagrant violation of international law; it would likely be the end of NATO, and open the door for Russia to wreak more havoc in Europe.
Trump believes he has the right to control the entire western hemisphere (more specifically, its natural resources). (2/4)

Republicans continue to spew propaganda about J6, attempting to recast the insurrection as a peaceful protest.
But we will NOT let them forget about what really happened; about the horrors we all witnessed; about the brave officers who defended us—and Democracy itself.
We will never forget. (2/2)

This is a major win for states and communities fighting to protect people from harmful, cancer-causing chemicals and to hold corporations accountable.
Public health comes before corporate profits, and we’ll stay vigilant to make sure this language doesn’t resurface.
