Today we are announcing the Progressive Caucus’ New Affordability Agenda. Donald Trump lied about bringing down costs. We need an actual plan to make things cheaper by taking on corporations ripping people off. Under this plan, every American family saves money. Here's how -->

Trump wants a $1.5 trillion slush fund for his “Department of War.” That’s eight times what he wants to spend on health and education combined. Americans want health care—not warfare.

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

There is no education policy—just a wrecking ball. Trump is dismantling everything from civil rights enforcement to student loan support. The goal: chaos and privatization.

Life is becoming more difficult and more expensive for families in New Mexico and across the country. Americans aren’t asking for a blank check to fund President Trump and Stephen Miller’s out-of-control ICE and CBP. They’re asking for lower prices. This is a total betrayal.

Everyone deserves the confidence that the price on the shelf is the price for everyone.

The American people want immigration reform. Republicans backed away from a deal so Donald Trump could campaign on chaos. Now our hospitals and schools are understaffed and in limbo—when great immigrant talent is ready to serve.

Feudalism for all update: Tech monarchist and his fanboys are creating a parallel justice system without all those pesky civil rights requirements www.codastory.com/polarization...

Every day this regime stays in office, we are less safe federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

In the dead of the night, Republicans tried to pass a shady FISA bill that lets the government continue to violate your rights without a warrant. Thankfully we defeated Speaker Johnson and the White House’s amateur attempt to jam it through without real debate. This overreach won't fly.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

[1/2] With Trump terminating tax credits designed to make health premiums affordable, over a million people were forced to drop their coverage. Now, one in seven who had previously had coverage are giving up their health plan because they cannot afford enormous premium increases.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., slammed the new tax law for terminating a free alternative for tax filing and putting taxpayers at the mercy of “tax software giants who overcharge for a service that ought to be free.”
