Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Republicans have been trying to deflect and diminish Trump’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein by delaying the release of the Epstein files.
But now they can’t hide.
It’s time for the truth to come to light and for the DOJ to release the files.

This Veterans Day, we extend our gratitude to our veterans in The Bronx, Queens, and beyond for their service.
Congress has a duty to protect those who defend us. That’s why we will continue to fight for the health care and housing services our veterans earned.

Victoria’s husband has cystic fibrosis. Without health insurance, his medication costs $300,000 per year.
Republicans’ failure to extend ACA subsidies means that Victoria and her husband won't be able to afford their insurance.
These are the stakes for working people in this fight. We cannot cave.

In 2 days, Donald Trump will cut off SNAP benefits for more than 3 million New Yorkers. Not because the USDA doesn't have the money, but because he thinks starving people helps him politically.
@reprileyny.bsky.social and I led a letter demanding that Trump reverse course and fund SNAP now.

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.
Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.

Congress already passed a law to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers will receive back pay when the shutdown concludes.
Trump and his team of billionaire sellouts cannot change that.
Remember what is at stake here: affordable health care.

Last week, I wrote to Secretary Rubio urging protection of Americans on the Sumud Flotilla. Since then, Israel has detained dozens of activists, including Americans, for trying to feed starving Gazans.
This is unacceptable. Secretary Rubio, you must negotiate their safe return home.

Trump just cancelled $8B of energy projects to pressure Democrats to let him jack up health care costs.
And he didn't just cancel projects in Dem districts; he canceled them in R districts too. The difference is that Republicans are letting him use their constituents as pawns.
