Millions of seniors and people with disabilities are waiting on the phone for HOURS to get help from Trump's Social Security Administration.
American's shouldn't get kicked around when they need help accessing the benefits they’re owed.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!

It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.

And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

25,000 people in #CT05 are facing a 62% healthcare premium increase if ACA tax credits expire.

This will cost an average of $1,735 more per person, per year.

Latest unemployment data shows:

-Layoffs increased to 1.8M, the highest in 10 months.
-Job growth has slowed more than predicted.
-For the first time since 2021, there are more unemployed Americans than job openings.

This admin is focusing on the wrong things while the economy continues to weaken.

Today I was in a school library with a trained librarian. The school includes unhoused children and the kids of university professors. Watching how the librarian made all the kids feel welcome. Seeing the stiff, tense, worried body language soften. As they saw, maybe there is a space for me here. 💜

The federal government’s deployment of the National Guard in DC to respond to crime violates the centuries-old principle against using the military as a domestic police force — a principle critical to democracy. bit.ly/4oxXJLN
Outdated and Dangerous
Antiquated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home to quash protests and order mass arrests in times of war and domestic upheaval.
