Trump's ACA cuts aren't just bad; they're brutal for OH-11, and now families are paying the price. Here’s what Talia from Cleveland says she is going through thanks to Trump’s agenda.
Trump’s agenda pardons the powerful, protects the predators, and punishes the people.
And Black Americans are paying the price.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. The largest boycott in American history, it was a key turning point in the Civil Rights Movement. Their courage is a reminder to us all to never stop fighting for racial justice and fundamental rights.

An absolutely appalling decision by the right-wing Supreme Court majority to approve the racially gerrymandered Texas map.
Trump & his MAGA Rubber Stamps are trying to rig the game and silence voters. Now SCOTUS has signed off on this blatant power grab. Utterly Disgraceful.

Today I joined colleagues in the @newdems.bsky.social to announce our Health Care Action Plan – a response to the Republican health care crisis focused on lowering costs. I won’t stop fighting to lower premiums and co-pays, cap drug costs, expand telehealth, and keep hospitals open.

Donald Trump’s vile attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social and foul language about Somali Americans aren’t just beneath the office of the Presidency. They are beneath any American. It’s the same pattern we saw with his disgusting lies about Haitian Americans in Springfield, Ohio last year.

The Oversight Committee just passed my bill, the SAMOSA Act 43-0!
This is a huge win for government efficiency, preventing duplicative software spending, saving taxpayer dollars, and helping ensure agencies have modern systems.
This is what good government looks like folks.

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white passenger. Today, we honor her courage in standing up for Black Americans at a crucial moment in history. Let us remember her dedication to civil rights and use her example as as a reminder to never accept injustice.

Elon Musk & Trump bragged that DOGE would cut $2 TRILLION in fraud/waste, and they'd cut everyone a $5k check.
The exact opposite happened. They fired thousands of federal workers, cut resources for the poorest and most vulnerable, and wasted taxpayer dollars. What a disgrace.

‘That doesn’t exist’: Doge reportedly quietly disbanded ahead of schedule
Statement by Trump administration confirms longstanding suspicions that Musk-led agency is on its way out
The “department of government efficiency” (Doge) has apparently been dissolved with eight months still remaining on its contract, ending a drawn-out campaign of invading federal agencies and firing thousands of federal workers.

Republicans haven't been interested - and now millions will see huge price increases.
