Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

I want a negative voting option. You don’t like either candidate? Which do you hate more? Take a vote a way from them instead….Some times rebranding the same item yields better results

The stopgap funding bill we’re voting on this week would create a taxpayer funded slush fund for Elon Musk and President Trump. I joined CNN this morning to talk about what this means for our communities.

Musk and Trump are working feverishly to cut Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, public education, nutrition and other programs.

Why? So Musk and other billionaires can get a huge tax break.

Together, we’re not going to let them get away with that.

President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk have slashed essential assistance to rural communities. In my district alone, more than $755,600 in EQIP funding and $1.5 million in REAP grants have been paused indefinitely, leaving farmers and small businesses in limbo.

Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors.

The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable.

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%.

The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes.

Unacceptable.

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes.

Now they have a friend in the White House.

Donald Trump tried to illegally shut down funding for programs that millions of people rely on.

Community health centers, Head Start programs, and charities are still having trouble accessing funds.

Meanwhile, the taxpayers are paying for Trump's trip to the Super Bowl.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
