  • They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled. There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

  • Families across America are are stretching every dollar just to get by. Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. And what do Republicans do? They write ICE a bigger check. Not a dime to make life more affordable. That's why I voted NO on Republican's budget bill.
