The money for Trump’s “Warrior Dividends” has already been approved by Congress for troops so they can afford housing and basic living expenses.
Trump is NOT rewarding our service members with new bonuses, he’s just renaming funds that troops were already going to receive to score political points.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

FOUR REPUBLICANS just signed the House Democratic discharge petition to force a House vote on the Hakeem Jeffries bill to extend health care tax credits for 3 years: Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Mike Lawler (NY), Rob Bresnahan (PA), and Ryan Mackenzie (PA).

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

If one person can remove officers at will, independent institutions become ornamental, checks become optional, and “the executive” becomes personal rule.👇
