Musk is now worth over $1,100,000,000,000. Yet he pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. As reports show the trust fund will be depleted in less than 6 years, we must #ScrapTheCap so millionaires, billionaires, & trillionaires pay their fair share!

10 years ago, 49 innocent lives were stolen at Pulse Nightclub in a horrific act of hate-fueled gun violence. Today, as we honor the lives lost and those forever changed, let us recommit to ending the epidemics of gun violence and violence against the LGBTQ+ community.

61 years ago, the Supreme Court recognized the constitutional right to birth control. More than ever before, this right is under attack. That’s why I signed onto @RepFletcher's discharge petition to force a vote on the Right to Contraception Act. I voted for this bill when

Six decades of progress for birth control rights and access, yet the right to contraception is still not signed into law. The House passed this critical bill in 2022, and House Democrats are demanding we pass it again. Republican colleagues: join us and stand with the people.

Just days ago, the Trump-Vance administration said they would drop their Rioter Rewards fund, but it's back on track. House Democrats have a bill to stop this illegal slush fund and block this abuse of taxpayer dollars — will Republicans join us to stop it permanently?

Do congressional Republicans love this high inflation too? If not, they should work with Democrats to end Trump’s war of choice and tariff-taxes!

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Americans are paying more on everything from groceries to gas to health care. But what are House Republicans trying to do today? Hand billions more of your taxpayer dollars to the Trump-Vance administration’s lawless ICE and Border Patrol.

Social Security and Medicare are EARNED benefits! If Republicans want to focus on fixing them, let’s start by scrapping the income cap for Social Security so millionaires and billionaires *actually* pay their fair share of taxes.

Trump’s illegal war is sinking oil inventories and driving up the price of your gas. You shouldn’t be punished at the pump for the president’s bad policies.

Even President Trump does not know where his fake stats are coming from. In truth, thanks to Trump’s own policies, the Black unemployment rate is higher now than it was when he returned to office.
Even Trump says he doesn’t know ‘where the hell’ his own false claim about Black unemployment came...
