U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

It’s disgraceful that ICE’s secret police who refuse to identify themselves as they continue to terrorize New Yorkers has resulted in NYPD getting hurt.
@repespaillat.bsky.social, @menendez.house.gov and I are demanding answers and accountability from Sec. Noem and DHS about their lawless tactics.

Congress has just 7 voting days left to pass an extension on the expiring ACA subsidies.
Time is running out. Republicans must join us and act to save health care for millions of Americans.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Schumer allows a provision to go into the supposedly “clean” CR to allow people like Ted Cruz to file lawsuits for money over Jack Smith’s J6 investigation. Amazing Dem leadership in the senate. Thanks Chuck!
