Steal a lot and they make you king

Republicans could have extended the ACA credits that keep private health insurance premiums affordable in their big tax giveaway to billionaires and corporations.

But they didn’t.

Now health care premiums are set to spike.

For those who buy insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act, premiums are about to get much more expensive.

Today I successfully met with my constituent Mr. Ramon Morales Reyes, who is being held in ICE detention.
 
Despite evidence revealing that Ramon was framed by the person who robbed him, he remains in jail. I will keep fighting to combat the misinformation spread by DHS & ensure he has due process.

My office is doing everything we can to prevent Ms. Yessenia Ruano Andres, a survivor of human trafficking, from being deported tomorrow.

She has been a pillar of our community for 14 years. She is a bilingual kindergarten teachers aid and a mother to two U.S. citizens.

If Republicans were serious about helping families, they wouldn't make provisions for children, workers, and the elderly in their 'big, beautiful bill' TEMPORARY (just until the next presidential election...)

Meanwhile they make PERMANENT the tax giveaways for the uber wealthy.

To my Republican colleagues: one day Donald Trump will be gone, but when your descendants go to search you up, your legacy will be taking away the health care and SNAP millions need, all to enrich the richest among us.

Tax relief for *actual* small businesses should be a bipartisan priority.
 
But under Trump’s Tax Scam 1.0, pass-through entities making $100M+ got an average of $10M in “small business” deductions , while *actual* small businesses averaged just $6,500.
 
The GOP shouldn't have a 2.0.

🚨 Confirmed: Republicans plan to cut Medicaid/Badgercare to offset a massive tax giveaway to wealthy!

NON PARTISAN CBO analysis proves millions will lose health care under House Republican plan.

I had Disability Rights Wisconsin in my office today to break down the impacts for Wisconsinites.

🤬NEW TODAY:
 
The CBO confirmed the GOP plan would strip millions of health care.
 
In Wisconsin, nearly 1.2 million people on BadgerCare are at risk.

Freudian slip or rare moment of honesty from the GOP?

They are openly plotting to cut Medicare, leaving aging Americans to fend for themselves.
