…just to hand millionaires a $68,000 tax break — and the top 0.1% a staggering $300,000.
Shameful.

It’s crashing because Trump is pushing a terrible and terribly stupid idea—and 200+ of my Republican colleagues are enabling him.

It took just 7 weeks for Trump to go from “I’ll lower prices on Day 1” to “Here’s the largest tax increase since 1968.”

Two simple, factual statements the White House should be able to repeat today:
Russia launched a brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine 3 years ago today.
And ever since, Ukraine has bravely defended its freedom and sovereignty in the face of Russian aggression.

Trump just backed a GOP budget that would:
- Gut Medicaid & SNAP
- Provide $4.5T in tax cuts to the rich
- Add $4T to the national debt
Trump wants to raise food and health care costs to pay for a tax giveaway to the wealthy and well-connected.

Joe Biden capped overdraft fees at $5.
Now, Trump & Republicans are pushing to repeal that cap—giving banks the green light to jack up fees.
After promising to lower costs, this is what they are focused on just one month in.

Trump is ON IT now though—and by ON IT, I mean on Friday he fired key CDC and USDA staff who were tracking bird flu.
Trump on egg prices reaching an all-time high: "Well, there's the flu. Before I ever got here it was at an all-time high."

Here’s what the Trump Tax Scam really means:
A $315,000 average tax cut for the top 0.1%—those making more than $3.5m a year.
Financed by kicking families off Medicaid, ACA premium assistance, and SNAP.
This is Robin Hood in reverse.

Elon is treating federal workers like a line item on a budget.
He is destroying the lives of loyal & dependable people who SERVE US—and it’s all for show.
This is a drop in the bucket compared to the $4.5T in tax breaks they want to push to the rich.

The GOP budget slashes billions from Medicaid to pay for Trump’s tax cuts.
Here in Ohio, state Republicans are preparing a trigger for these cuts that would rip health care from 700,000 Ohioans.
Families lose their health care. Billionaires get a tax break.
