The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Chuck Schumer; keep up the enormously difficult job of standing firm until the GOP restores Snap and healthcare assistance programs. Continue to fight for those who will be crushed by the costs of healthcare and loss of food assistance.

Oppose unwarranted federal seizure of D.C. policing powers
Text SIGN PZTMJH to 50409 — Trump's attempt to federalize the D.C. police force and deploy the National Guard is an alarming overreach of federal authority. Official statistics show violent crime in Washington is at a 30-year low, contradicting the president's claims of rampant lawlessness used to justify this move. His portrayal of the capital as overrun by "bloodthirsty criminals" and "roving mobs" does not reflect reality on the ground. This temporary seizure of local policing powers sets a disturbing precedent that could enable the president to send federal forces into cities against the will of state and local officials. It represents an unwarranted escalation and militarization of law enforcement better handled by community-based solutions. The deployment risks violating constitutional limits on using the military for domestic law enforcement and breaching Washington D.C.'s limited home rule. I urge you to use your authority as a representative to push back against this federal overreach into local policing. Congress should assert its oversight role and prevent the president from further undermining civilian control and self-governance in the nation's capital under specious public safety justifications not supported by facts. Safeguarding democratic norms and civil liberties must take precedence over the president's authoritarian impulses. If we fail to limit Trump's attempts to amass all the power, you will go down in history as the Congress that stood by and allowed it to happen. Where is your honor? You took an oath. Uphold it!

Industrial energy use has increased by a whopping 71% since 1990.

➡️ Most of it is fossil fuels but the electrification rate has improved from just 22% to now 29%.

➡️ Most climate scenarios indicate that we need to see more than a doubling of the industrial electrification rate by 2050.

If you’re in a blue state or city, your Democratic governor, mayor, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents. Urge your Democratic elected officials to take immediate action against Trump’s authoritarian immigration crackdown. 👇

A brave whistleblower’s damning receipts have emerged, exposing the bad faith of the DoJ to defy direct court orders and showing how top lawyers blatantly lied to the federal court. The pitched battle to preserve the rule of law just got a big boost from them. My write-up in the replies.

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator.

The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

The rich are the biggest winners in Donald Trump’s bill. It will be the biggest giveaway to the wealthy in our country’s history if it passes. The richest Americans should be paying more, not less, in taxes.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

The Republican Senate Finance draft cuts to Medicaid are deeper and more devastating than even the Republican House’s disaster of a bill

This could lead to even more than the 16M people expected to lose health insurance and the hundreds of hospitals and health centers facing higher risk of closure

It’s hard to believe that the Senate Republicans would put forward a bill that’s even worse than the House bill on Medicaid, but they did.

Even more people will lose health care
Even more hospitals will close
Even more people will have their health insurance costs skyrocket
