The Republican budget includes $7 trillion—TRILLION, with a T—in giveaways to billionaire donors and big corporations while ripping health care and food away from millions. Democrats are fighting back. We stand with working families. We👏🏽won’t👏🏽back👏🏽down👏🏽 #RepublicanRipoffs

Follow the money. Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill" isn't about efficiency—it's a $43 BILLION handout to private contractors over 10 years. Just ONE example: Forcing states to pay Equifax $20 per person to verify employment data for 18 MILLION people EVERY MONTH. That's $360 million monthly and $4.32 billion yearly. Experts are calling it what it is: "Welfare for Deloitte." This isn't government efficiency. This is organized graft—creating red tape just to line the pockets of powerful contractors. We must expose this scheme for what it really is: robbing taxpayers to enrich the well-connected. #GovernmentAccountability #StopTheGrift

No more school lunches. No more Meals on Wheels. That’s what Republicans are pushing with their $2 TRILLION in budget cuts. Over 11,000 Virgin Islands students rely on school meals. Our farmers, our children—all under attack. We’re not isolated. We’re impacted. And I’m fighting back.

President Trump is concerned about the Underground Railroad extolling Harriet Tubman. Concerned about the African American Museum talking about the truth of this country, which benefits all of us to have that knowledge. Removing funding for these stories of truth and replacing them with stories of individuals that HE decides are the ones we should be celebrating. TBH--I don't trust his taste. #sorrynotsorry

They send us to fight — but deny us the right to vote. In the Virgin Islands, we bleed for this country. But we have no vote for president. No full representation in Congress. No senator to defend us. And now they want to do the same to the rest of you — to eat you alive to feed their own greed. We must stand firm and strong against the destructive agenda that the Trump administration has for the most vulnerable of us.

Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don't. Giving money to the rich does not raise wages or grow new jobs. And how do we know? Because the 2017 tax bill did not grow the economy, did not spur manufacturing, did not bring new jobs. We know this because the numbers tell us that. Ways and Means Democrats

Fellow Americans, we're the "side chick." We're the side chick to the one person the Trump administration has married--the donor class--and they are giving them the real money while we're just getting a little piece on the side. But, we👏🏽will👏🏽FIGHT👏🏽for what should belong to hard-working Americans and our neediest.

House Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill is only beautiful to the wealthy individuals who stand to gain—not to the 16 million Americans who would lose access to healthcare and the 4.5 million people who would lose food assistance—not to the third of the population in my home of the Virgin Islands, that lives beneath the poverty line. The Congressional Budget Office confirms that this plan would be one of the largest wealth transfers to the rich in U.S. history. We cannot allow this to happen.

Tax cuts for billionaires. Budget cuts for students. The University of the Virgin Islands just lost millions in federal support—including funding for climate research and biomedical PhD programs. Republicans are gutting DEI and stripping opportunity from our young people. I won’t stand by and let this happen.
