President Trump’s reckless and disgraceful conduct in today’s meeting with President Zelensky is yet another alarming sign of his abandonment of America’s longstanding foreign policy principles.

Make no mistake: this Trump budget that the GOP House passed by themselves is nothing short of dangerous.
Slashing a budget that rips healthcare away from 36 million Americans while adding $4 trillion to our national debt is no way of improving life in our country.

Democrats had four absences earlier. BUT, Frederica Wilson returned for the evening series. Then as Rs prepared to put this bill on the floor, Brittany Pettersen (recently gave birth) unexpectedly arrived to vote. AND Kevin Mullin (hospitalized) just unexpectedly showed up. Rs can only lose 1 now
WELP. They sent everyone home, and now they've just reopened the series and put the bill back on the floor.
Members had left Capitol Hill for the night, now they are turning around and driving back, I've never seen this happen before in 10+ years working here

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

The media MUST be forceful in asking for clarification.
“Fraud and corruption” needs to be explained. Just saying it exists, doesn’t make it true.
This administration is brazenly cutting needed services to Americans and trying to hand wave their damage through empty accusations.

Nothing about this is okay. Elected members of the "People's House" should not be denied entry to any Federal building.

The first paving stone on the road to despotism and a loss of democracy is the notion that timeliness of elections is more important than the accuracy of the results.
We do not need to guarantee results of an election within an hour.
We need to make sure that all elections are always accurate.

Discussions over the past week with folks throughout our Queens family have brought up the same theme: the need to change how things are done.
Joining BlueSky isn't a big change by any means, but maybe it's part of the bigger plan.
We're happy to be here.
