🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.
I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it.
Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds.
Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it.
That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.
🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Rick Scott reveals a Democrat SENATOR complained he can’t miss his $174,000 paycheck because of his mortgage
TSA makes around $50,000
“Well, WHAT ABOUT TSA?!”
Senators should get a $0 PAYCHECK until TSA is paid. No excuses!
Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows.
THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!
Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do.
That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap.
Here’s some of what we found.
The West Campus 7-Eleven still runs a predatory booting operation, charging customers $100+ for even brief parking (e.g. 30 seconds to grab pizza from Roppolo's)
We tried filming the new Roppolo's intercom warning, and were quickly approached and lambasted by the booter...
A new poll shows I’m tied with Abbott—in a district he last won by 10 points.
Voters are telling us plain and simple: they’re tired of paying the Abbott Corruption Tax and ready for change. We’re hearing this on the ground now and we’ll prove it in November when we fire Abbott.
Y’all better not sleep on this one. My good friend @GinaHinojosaTX has Greg Abbott on the ropes and she’s running one hell of a campaign. If you’re ready to help turn Texas blue, saddle up and help here: https://t.co/l74JGgtzDO

Greg Abbott was attorney general before he was Governor and he decimated the power of the average person to sue when they were seriously harmed by doctors or big companies through tort reform. He promised our health insurance would become affordable. He lied.
BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing a bill to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.
A chunk of the money would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
Today, while billionaires have never had it so good, 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
We can no longer tolerate a rigged system that lets billionaires pay a lower tax rate than average workers.
A tax on billionaires will help create an economy that works for all, not the 1%.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is dropping a bill that would raise $4.4 TRILLION via a 5% wealth tax on billionaires.
The money would fund:
—$3,000 stimulus checks
—Minimum $60k teacher salary
—Expanding Medicare to cover hearing and dental
—Ending homelessness
—Universal childcare
