The budget bill passed by House Republicans today will increase the deficit by $70 BILLION dollars.

It should offend all Americans who are rightfully concerned about our country’s spiraling deficit.

[Rep. Zoe Lofgren @RepZoeLofgren]

Long before January 6th, the Southern Poverty Law Center warned about white supremacists like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

It’s very telling that House Republicans just held a 2nd hearing, not to talk about the threat these groups pose, but to attack @splcenter.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Teenagers, toddlers, & babies have been abducted & taken to Dilley.

And Republican & their private prison corporation friends are profiting from the pain of child abuse, child neglect, & childhood trauma.

We must close Dilley & end this state-inflicted trauma.

[Rep. Ted Lieu @RepTedLieu]

The American people deserve the truth.

Hey Trump, this is what enthusiastic cheering sounds like. Something you will never know.

Go Annie!!!

We are witnessing corruption like we have never seen before under President Trump.

I’m laying out the facts on this administration's blatant corruption. See the full list here: https://t.co/lpwCKNJbf1

Why were Epstein’s co-conspirators never prosecuted?

That is what we want to find out and why this interview with his longtime assistant is so important today.

…Especially as DOJ is refusing to release the files.This is also why Todd Blanche, key architect of the Epstein coverup, has no business serving as AG ⬇️

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Breaking news: Iranians just took down one of our Apache helicopters—after Marco Rubio swore under oath that this war was over.

I’m grateful our service members are safe, but how many more must risk everything because of this administration’s failures and lies?

This is not 'winning.'

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck.

And they're asking themselves a simple question:

Does anybody in Washington know that I am alive?

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate.

We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus, NJ is one of the largest not-for-profit hospitals in the country. Their services include a long term care unit, Depression Center of Excellence, Center for Eating Disorders, addiction care, and LGBTQ+ focused care.

On my tour of the facility, I heard about the threat Medicaid cuts pose to their ability to provide these services. We must fight back against these cuts and make care accessible to all.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

📸 “Where’s Joe?” Republicans and Jake Tapper always ask.

Well, today, @JoeBiden was at Grotto Pizza in Wilmington supporting a small business.

That comes after South Dakota Friday night supporting Democrats and Philadelphia supporting Pride.

The man is battling stage 4 cancer and still keeps showing up.

That’s Joe Biden’s life story:

Knocked down. Never staying down.

GET UP.

Granting immunity to a president sets a deeply concerning precedent. This ruling feels like a step towards unchecked power. https://t.co/gWvghoasBI

Hot cars can become death traps for children & pets. As summer heat descends, please remember to look before you lock.

I’m also demanding DOT Sec. Duffy finally implement long-overdue rules to ensure car manufacturers install life-saving tech to prevent hot car deaths.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

"I'm only doing this for one term. I am not a politician. I did not ever want to be a politician. I'm doing this because we need to do something now. We can't survive 32 more months of what we've seen for the past 16, full stop."

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Just a 2-cent wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy could:

Lift millions of kids out of poverty
Fund universal child care
Make community college free

And we would still have money left over.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

The Supreme Court has gutted key protections against racial gerrymandering — a heartbreaking step backward that strips Black and Brown communities of political power and fair representation.

The Voting Rights Act is sacred. Generations bled for it. We must not go backwards.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

I introduced amendments to the Republicans’ reconciliation bill that would send $70B more to ICE and CBP, making our communities less safe. My amendments would address the harm that DHS is causing to our communities today. 

But let’s be clear: DHS is past reforms, it was designed to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety. DHS must be dismantled and something new must take its place.
