  1. Every day, more information comes out that confirms just how bad the Big Ugly Bill really is.

    $4.1 trillion. What happened to Republicans caring about the federal deficit?

  2. The Trump Administration is setting back our national security by screwing over Afghan allies who helped US troops with great bravery. People in future conflicts may now be more hesitant to help us.

    This is cruel and we should all be deeply troubled.

  3. Republicans are forcing through a cynical, partisan gerrymandering effort without voter approval in Texas to try to hold onto power.

    We didn’t start this fight, but we’re not going to back off. We’re giving the voters of California the option of choosing to fight back.

  4. Reminder: Republicans stayed up in the dark of night to pass the Big Ugly Bill.

    Yet, they went home early because they didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

    Ridiculous.

  5. Democrats are fighting back in real time.

    While Republicans try to cheat and steal, Texas Democrats are fighting the good fight.

    We cannot let Republicans bulldoze our democracy.

  6. The Trump Administration just moved to BAN abortion care for VETERANS, even in instances of rape and incest.

    This is just another attack on our veterans and reproductive health care.

    We owe it to our servicemembers to provide them the care they need.

    The Trump administration is moving to end nearly all abortions at Veterans Affairs medical facilities, overturning a Biden-era policy that sought to protect access.
