1 in 5 people with insurance through the ACA marketplace got dropped because they couldn't afford their first sky-high premium payment. Republicans REFUSED to help Americans afford BASIC health care and they CHOSE to give tax breaks to billionaires instead.
Anti-abortion extremists have been pounding on EPA’s doors demanding the agency join their crusade to ban medication abortion, warning about “abortion in the water.” Lee Zeldin said he had NO idea what I was talking about. Oh really? https://t.co/rfgc1jioZV
Trump wants to let special interests and giant development companies trample our public lands. He wants extraction over conservation. Yet ANOTHER give away to Big Oil and Gas. Not on my watch. https://t.co/aN3UJyNVNU
I had a simple question for Trump's HUD Secretary. Could he help house more people with LESS funding? After all, Trump wants to slash funding for housing & spend $1.5 TRILLION on his war budget. Instead, he started blaming Joe Biden. JOE BIDEN is NOT the President! Get a grip. https://t.co/VshEgEB6a8
Reproductive rights are under attack: Mifepristone today, IVF tomorrow, & contraception after. This isn't hypothetical. We're seeing the anti-abortion playbook unfold in real time. There's a pro-choice majority in the U.S. Using the law, our voices, & our votes–we have to win.
Right now, the Trump administration has NO full-time, Senate-confirmed: ❌CDC Director ❌Surgeon General ❌FDA Commissioner ❌Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response A total failure of leadership. https://t.co/eTuBTPkBA8
This would be blatant corruption. Trump wants to steal from American taxpayers to pay off his friends and political allies. Every Member of Congress had better oppose this corrupt heist.
Lee Zeldin either lied to my face yesterday, or he has no idea what's going on at his own agency. Take it from the "abortions in the water" lady herself who met directly with EPA. I guess Zeldin's anti-abortion friends have a different perspective from him! https://t.co/qKzFmZO6f3
SCOTUS did the bare minimum today: stopped a radical court from banning mail-order mifepristone in every state. But 3 extremist judges came within inches of overruling 25 years of FDA science. That's the world Dobbs built—and why America's pro-choice majority must speak up. https://t.co/VjhdlI8ZzB
Trump's HUD Secretary sat in front of me defending Trump's $1.5 TRILLION war budget—a budget that gives more money for war and CUTS funding for housing. Instead of giving Pete Hegseth HALF A TRILLION dollars, we could build at least 1 million new homes in America. https://t.co/BIkUTBIPYL
