Congress needs to get back to DC to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard, and to vote to end this illegal war with Iran!

REMINDER: The Republicans' budget bill made private jets tax-deductible.
Yes, it made private jets fully tax-deductible. It’s clear who Republican politicians are working for… and it’s not you.

2 in 3 Americans want the war in Iran to end. We are tired of our tax dollars being wasted on an unnecessary war and ready for change!
English
While taxpayers are on the hook for a $1 billion/day war in Iran, more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We need to ensure that Americans' needs are met here at home, not burning billions on unnecessary wars.

Great news! Wisconsin’s Registered Apprenticeship program has reached record high enrollment for the fourth year in a row. Thank you, @GovEvers! Let’s keep up the great work.

A $1.5 trillion defense budget is unconscionable. We already spend more than the next nine countries combined. This is a 40% bump from this year's record levels, and now Trump would have us spend more than the NEXT 34 COUNTRIES COMBINED!!!

Breaking News: The White House said it would ask Congress for about $1.5 trillion for defense in 2027, its highest level in modern history. nyti.ms/4sfxvi6

Trump said it himself, we can't take care of childcare, Medicaid, and Medicare because we're too busy fighting wars.
That is a load of crap.
Maybe instead of "bombing Iran back to the stone age," we can take care of our people here at home.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

A year ago today, Trump illegally declared across-the-board tariffs on nearly every nation on earth. When I asked Treasury Secretary Bessent who paid the tariffs, he was unable (or more likely unwilling) to answer. Spoiler alert: it’s American consumers.

If Trump thinks he's playing 3-dimensional chess, I'm not sure he's winning...

.@RepLloydDoggett is a progressive titan in Congress. I had a great discussion with him about closing tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and more!

A reminder that the House is currently in recess after Speaker Johnson sent us home. The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
But Speaker Johnson is refusing to let the House vote on it. This shutdown is on him.

I’m holding the Kittleson family in my thoughts. I’m in contact with the Trump administration to get more information & advocate for Shelly’s safe return.
While we wait for more details, we do know Trump’s illegal Iran war has put Americans in the area at risk, & it needs to end.

An American journalist was kidnapped on Tuesday in Baghdad, Iraqi officials said. The journalist was identified as freelancer Shelly Kittleson by one of the outlets she worked for. tmj4.com/news/milwaukee…

Another big COURT WIN! A federal judge ruled that Trump's executive order denying federal funds to NPR and PBS based on editorial viewpoint was unconstitutional.
A great victory for the First Amendment against government censorship.

On #TransgenderDayOfVisibility, leaders of the Equality Caucus have a message for the transgender community, their friends, and their families:
We see you, and we are fighting for you—every day.

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United.

If only he was as obsessed with lowering costs as he was with his billionaire ballroom project.

By the way, this isn’t hyperbole.
House Republicans are literally considering a proposal to kick 300,000 additional Americans off their Affordable Care Act healthcare plan to allocate $200 BILLION for the Iran War.

Isn’t it interesting how we always have billions of dollars for bombs but never enough for helping American citizens meet their basic needs?
