During the government shutdown, President Trump: - Raised $250 million from billionaires for a ballroom - Gave Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho - Doubled Argentina's bailout to $40 billion What happened to America First?

Fifteen million are about to lose health care. Premiums are set to double. Housing & child care are outrageously expensive. Meanwhile, Trump’s priorities are demolishing the White House, bailing out Argentina & now threatening war with Venezuela. What happened to America First?

This is what oligarchy looks like: Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break. Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom. That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Congress established an emergency fund to ensure that millions of Americans on SNAP continue to receive nutrition assistance when funding expires in November. Mr. President: Don’t let kids go hungry. Use these emergency funds to feed low-income families.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry? How cruel is that?

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Republicans will blame immigrants for everything, but stay silent on white supremacists, Jan 6th rioters, and school shootings. If y’all really cared as much as you claim you do, you’d call out all threats to our communities—not just the ones that fit your agenda.

Mail-in voting is vital to ensuring people can exercise their right to vote, especially those with disabilities and transportation challenges. President Trump's attempts to discredit mail-in voting and voting machines are designed to undermine elections where he doesn't like the results.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
