Let me be very clear:
I absolutely refuse to vote for a budget that gives tax breaks to billionaires and cuts critical programs for working families — including health care and education.
I will be a NO on the Republican budget resolution this week.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense.
This is a growing national security risk.
