The numbers don’t lie—30,000 veterans are facing homelessness. That’s why I’m proposing a 1% stock buyback tax on mega-corporations to fund permanent housing, rapid rehousing, and mental health services for homeless and at-risk veterans. If we won’t stand up for them, who will?

🚨Are you for families or billionaires? After 11 hours, I finally got to speak out against a bill that hikes taxes on low-income families and gives billionaires tax breaks. I witnessed one of the biggest wealth transfers in history—and offered 14 amendments to fix it. Every

I’m sitting in my DC office waiting as Republicans enter their 16th hour of trying to ram through their reckless budget over Democrats’ objections that would strip health care from millions in our communities and add trillions to the deficit. While we wait, I’ll be going live on

Tonight, I spoke out in the Rules Committee against the cold, calculated cuts in Trump’s Big Bad Ugly Bill and filed an amendment to undo their SNAP cuts targeting families. This bill ignores the real lives of working class families and makes their lives harder, not easier.

House Republicans debated the most consequential bill we may vote on this year — in the dead of night. I went there myself to shed some light on their disastrous proposed cuts.

The Republican budget bill leaves out 17 million kids from families most in need from receiving the full Child Tax Credit. Republicans refuse to make this key investment that significantly cuts childhood poverty and uplifts our communities.

Trump ripped NIH funding away from scientists already working on cures for cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more. For me, this is personal.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but in the US congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never

Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard to enforce immigration laws—he did it to put on a show. It's about creating a spectacle to justify his authoritarianism.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING NEWS!🚨  We’re hearing that Republicans screwed up when they rushed their tax scam through without reading it. Now they have to RE-VOTE on it THIS WEEK. A thread:

Respectfully, 700K DC residents, the majority of whom are Black and Brown, are not property, Chairwoman Foxx. They're Americans, worthy of the same rights as other Americans and capable of governing themselves.

At 2pm, the committee will meet to consider Trump's awful rescissions package—a bill that has nothing to do with cutting waste, fraud, or abuse, but is about gutting essential services that people rely on & slashing programs that save lives. 📺 WATCH: youtu.be/r5WOJWgH7fE

Republicans have racked up over 50 closed rules in 5 months, which means >90% of the measures brought to the floor blocked consideration of any amendments. Over 800 amendments blocked in total! RM McGovern: "They are running this House like a wannabe authoritarian dictatorship."

You heard it here first Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸: If you have remorse about voting for the Bad Billionaires Bill, you can vote against it tomorrow and force your colleagues to go back to the negotiating table. Your move.
