As the nonpartisan [Congressional Budget Office] just confirmed to me, Trump's budget bill will make it harder for working Americans to make ends meet while sending thousands to the ultra-rich.
Republicans are stealing hard-earned money from working people to enrich billionaires.
My hope is that for America’s 250th anniversary, this will be more of a focus on what our next 250 years look like, rather than just a wonderful commemoration of the past quarter of a millennium.
Over the last 18 months, we have seen where Republicans’ priorities are: trillions of dollars in tax cuts for billionaires, tens of billions of dollars for war and absolutely nothing for the American people.
