At every turn, this Administration's policies have been cruel and short sighted. It will take decades to heal the scars on our communities and our economy even if the wreckage stopped today. But it’s clear Trump doesn't care who gets hurt.

Over 300 employees across our premiere biomedical research agency, the NIH, are speaking out against the massive harm the Trump Administration is inflicting on research and public health in America and across the world. I encourage you to read The Bethesda Declaration – written by NIH employees who felt “compelled to speak up when [Trump’s] leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety and faithful stewardship of public resources.”

Yesterday, House Republicans passed legislation to rescind funding for lifesaving programs that fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic and help people around the world access food and clean water. This bill will kill people. We'll keep fighting against it as it heads to the Senate.

Despite their lies claiming otherwise, the Trump Administration's erratic tariff policies continue to throw our economy into free-fall while driving up costs for businesses and consumers alike. It's embarrassing.

The monstrous Republican bill strips health care from 14 million Americans, cuts $300 billion in food and nutrition from working Americans, while giving a temporary headfake to those working on overtime and those working for tips. It actually raises taxes on the poorest 20% of Americans.

After Donald Trump spent the last year promising to fight for regular people, every single Republican voted against my amendment to close the carried interest loophole. They care more about appeasing billionaires and hedge fund managers than helping regular people.

Science tells us we need to take every step we can to tackle the climate crisis and ensure a livable future. Instead, Republicans want to take a wrecking ball to climate and increase emissions by up to 500-730 million metric tons to pay for tax cuts for billionaires!
