USAID saved 94 million lives in the last 20 years. DOGE and Marco Rubio eliminated it today. 45 million people will die by 2030.

The Big Ugly Bill cuts funding for the CFPB so financial institutions can rip off consumers.

Big Ugly Bill. We will be paying 3.3 trillion in debt to give tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of the poor, veterans, and working class Americans.

If the Big Ugly Bill passes in the House of Representatives, 51,000 people will die in the first year due to Medicaid cuts. 17 million people will lose their health insurance.

Do all Republicans believe that it's okay to take food away from 42 million people? This is despicable and cruel. This is what Trump supporters voted for?

Alaskan Residents. Your Senator, Lisa Murkowski, has just voted to harm millions of Americans even though she said, "I don't like it" about the Big Ugly Bill.

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.

I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU.

Please share it far and wide.

Every veteran has a right to be outraged that an unelected billionaire and his teenage interns have thoughtlessly terminated VA contracts that support chemotherapy, imaging services, and more.

DOGE is clearly a serious threat to VA patient safety.

Federal prosecutors are not the president’s lawyers. Prosecutors take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not to implement the president’s agenda faithfully. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.
Opinion | The top D.C. prosecutor just called himself Trump's lawyer. That's a problem.

Tell every MAGA Cuban American Trumper you know that these two men did more to allow the majority of Cuban exiles to find safe sanctuary and freedom in the United States as legal immigrants than anyone in our history.

They were both Democrats.

Trump would’ve deported Cuban exiles back to Castro.
