Tonight, Trump delivered his State of the Union address, claiming that our country is ‘bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever.’
But for Black Americans, the reality behind these blatantly racist lies, disrespect, and outright distortions tells a very different story.
The President just gave himself a big round of applause for 2 hours. He doesn’t deserve a round of applause, he deserves to be fired.
The President announced a war on fraud.
You can begin with the most corrupt administration in American history.
The Trump Cartel.
The President made it clear tonight he has no interest in solving the health care crisis that HE created.
Arresting journalists and activists for documenting or protesting an out-of-control government’s abuse of power is an attack on the First Amendment and democracy itself.
We are on a slippery slope into authoritarianism. Pam Bondi is a disgrace and needs to be held accountable.
This is horrifying.
It appears that ICE executed a man on the street.
This violent agency must be abolished and every agent involved in this murder must be held accountable.
Sickening. Abhorrent. Lawless.
This cannot continue.
The Senate MUST block the ICE funding bill this week. Full stop.
It only took ONE YEAR for Donald Trump to push America to its breaking point.
One year ago today, the world watched as Donald Trump took his oath of office as the 47th President of the United States.
Since then? Trump has unleashed chaos; stoked division with his war on DEI; traumatized our federal workforce; intimidated immigrant communities; and sowed fear in our country.
My friend @libradunn1.bsky.social and I got together today to reflect on January 6th:
House and Senate Democrats came together for a moment of silence to honor the lives lost on January 6, 2021.
January 6th made it painfully clear: indifference and inaction lead to insurrection.
The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.
Stop lying to the American people.
Five years later, it is not lost on our Caucus that the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election with false claims of illegitimate voting occurred during a year when we saw historic participation from Black voters.
The fight to protect our democracy is far from over.
Healthcare tax credits for working families expire in 5 days.
Republicans refuse to extend them.
Earlier this month I asked a Republican Congressman a simple question -- why can't his constituents have the same health care coverage he does?
Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, but instead of voting on my bill to save health care, the Republican Speaker sent the entire House home for the holidays.
Life is too expensive in the United States.
And Republicans have done nothing about it.
You deserve better.
Survivors deserve so much better.
After months of inaction, Republicans introduced a last-minute package that fails to address the health care crisis they created.
I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour demanding the permanent extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits before they expire at the end of the year.
There is still time to extend the Obamacare credits before premiums spike next year.
To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Put partisan politics aside and do the right thing.
Every single House Democrat has signed onto legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
We just need 4 Republicans to join us.
The clock is ticking, and House Democrats are racing to save health care.
I led my @cbc.house.gov colleagues to sound the alarm for millions of Americans covered by the ACA marketplace who stand to lose their health insurance because Republicans refuse to extend enhanced premium tax credits.
When the Republican-led Education & Workforce committee holds more hearings on “American boxing” than school safety or teacher pay.
Make it make sense 🤦🏽♂️
House Republicans have used their majority to do great harm to everyday Americans.
Complete frauds.
Deeply saddened that heroic National Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia has died.
Praying for her family and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe as he valiantly battles for his life.
Together we must find a way to better protect those patriots who bravely defend and serve our nation.
House Republicans have presided over the most unproductive Congress since the 1930’s — literally.
My thoughts on the road ahead on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social
Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs.
And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase.
His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.
Democrats are holding the line on health care because this issue impacts ALL of us. Even if you have the best health plan on the market, Republicans' gutting of Medicaid and ending ACA tax credits will cause your costs to go up by an average of $2,320 in CA-12. (1/2)
29 days into this shutdown, families are feeling the pain. Health care costs are rising. SNAP funding is on the line. It’s time for Trump and House Republicans to stop weaponizing hunger and start working with us to reopen the government and lower costs for everyone.
#EndTheShutdown #ProtectSNAP
