Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees warn the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032.
There's only one way to reverse this trend.
Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.
Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the California primary. You can drop off your ballot at a ballot drop box, or at a vote center, by 8 pm on June 2.
If you vote by mail tomorrow, please make sure you get a hand-stamped postmark by a postal worker inside a post office.
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
My Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act would make it illegal for a sitting president or VP to receive settlement payments from the federal government they control—or to direct those payments to a third party.
We CANNOT allow this abuse of power.
Every day, we give off a steady stream of data that broadcasts not only who we are, but where we go — and it can be bought—including by federal agencies.
Allowing federal agencies to acquire, compile, analyze, and use large profiles of information about Americans without limits, oversight, or accountability is dangerous.
We urge Congress to take action now and limit the ability of the federal government to deploy mass surveillance on Americans.

Your tax dollars are being used to bomb Iran while Trump ignores the struggles of working people here at home.
That’s not “America first.”
We cannot let him drag another generation into a forever war. The Senate must vote on a War Powers Resolution and block Trump’s war.
Former ICE Employee: I swore an oath to protect the nation when I signed up. I followed it when I resigned a little over a week ago. I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken. I received secretive orders to teach cadets to violate the Constitution
I actually requested to speak on the Epstein class but the party said they did not have a slot. I will be speaking at the Progressive Caucus that invited me to a packed house tomorrow evening.
Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress.
@RepThomasMassie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says https://t.co/b9cmtOW3wd
🚨 BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene just admitted the Epstein files were blocked by Donald Trump himself.
“He fought the hardest to STOP these files from being released.”
Not Democrats. Not the DOJ. Not “the deep state.”
Trump.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.
Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @RedistrictAct and tell your member of Congress to vote no: https://t.co/Cc4JHKr73Q
Trump and his family have gained over $4 billion by using the White House as their own personal grift machine.
Meanwhile, many working families are choosing between paying for health insurance, groceries, or rent.
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
