My message today is the same as it was during the government shutdown 30 years ago: we can't balance the budget on the backs of working people.
Democrats must keep fighting against Trump's cruel healthcare cuts.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The GOP's tax cuts for billionaires and corporations ballooned the deficit. So now they're blaming the problem on vital social programs and demanding devastating cuts that will harm millions of people.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
