Jen has spent her life advocating for her community, and as a registered nurse there is no one more qualified to talk about the impacts of Rep. Rob Bresnahan’s broken promises to protect Pennsylvanians healthcare. See more of what Jen has to say using the link below.
"Trump and Bresnahan are doing, from my perspective, everything they can to bring the cost of living up." We went to Pennsylvania and spoke to Anna, SNAP recipient and Rep. Rob Bresnahan's constituent, on the reality of living in Bresnahan's America after voting for Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."
"He said he wouldn't do it, then he did. Rep. Rob Bresnahan voted to gut life-saving healthcare from Americans who need it most. We went to Pennsylvania to learn the impacts of Bresnahan's vote. Watch Grace's story. Link in bio.
As we mourn the killings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo of Texas and Joan Sebastian Guerrero of Maine, Rep. Derrick Van Orden claims he's proud of ICE officers. We demand accountability for the killing of these men and all others who have been gunned down by Republicans' untrained ICE.
Neera Tanden: Democrats and Republicans have responded to allegations of assault differently. “I'm not going to accept lectures from people who support Donald Trump, who has been credibly accused by 13 women of sexual assault.”
Neera Tanden: Donald Trump cannot get a face-saving deal out of the Iranians. That's why he's back to bombing and the American people will pay more for gas because of it.
Neera Tanden: The people of Maine were betrayed by Graham Platner and he didn't take any responsibility for his own actions that led to this point.
Neera Tanden: Politics is about listening to the voters about what their needs are and responding to them—not wish casting about a candidate or idea for Maine voters.
Neera Tanden: The lesson here is not for us to think this is what working class voters want and need, and create a narrative around that, but really listen to them.
Neera Tanden: Everyone in Maine needs to be laser focused on defeating Donald Trump by defeating Susan Collins and deciding who is the best candidate to take her on.
Trump brags about corruption from the Oval Office while Americans can't afford food, gas or healthcare.
Trump has profited off the presidency, earning more than $2 billion in cash and gifts this term alone. @citizenwillis.bsky.social: "What this results in is policy for and by the highest bidder."
Trump's policies are costing YOU at least $2,000 a year, and the job market isn't looking much better.
Neera Tanden on today's SCOTUS mail-in-ballot ruling: Voting is determined at the state level and Donald Trump should respect that.
Neera Tanden: We've heard an incredible amount of lies from Donald Trump about the war with Iran, and he's trying to manage our defeat.
Neera Tanden: We're seeing more progressive Dem nominees in places like New York, and moderate nominees in places like Iowa. Voters are picking who they think has the best chance in the general election—that's how democracy is supposed to work.
Neera Tanden: Americans are looking for leaders who will lower costs now, not 10 years from now.
Neera Tanden: We have to be honest about the two policies implemented by the Trump administration to raise costs: Trump's tariffs and his war.
Neera Tanden: CAP put forward ideas to lower the cost of housing, and a lot of Democrats have taken those ideas up. Those ideas would give rental relief and access to home ownership.
The ballroom was supposed to be privately funded, now they want $300 million of our taxpayer dollars for another Trump vanity project.
Neera Tanden on the DOJ opening an investigation into Gov. Newsom and his wife: This Department of Justice has confessed to going after Donald Trump's enemies before—it's a little naive to believe that's not happening here.
Neera Tanden: The only rationale for Trump starting his war is that he thought he'd win it quickly. At the end of this, Iran will be stronger and have more control over the Strait of Hormuz which is a strategic defeat for the United States.
Neera Tanden: If the Donald Trump thought the agreement with Iran to end the war was something for America to celebrate, he'd be the first to show us.
Neera Tanden on the racist insult to Michelle Obama by a UFC fighter: The president hasn't condemned racist, sexist, and horrifying comments in the past and he won't do it now—it's absurd that we're trying to rationalize this situation. (edited)
Neera Tanden on Trump's demagoguery: This isn't just about what Trump does, it's about what Republicans permit. And if they don't speak out about this, they own it as much as he does.
Neera Tanden: Headed into America's 250th anniversary, we're going to get the news that Donald Trump lost the war he started with Iran.
Neera Tanden: Donald Trump ran on no new wars and lowering Americans costs, but by starting his war, he's forced Americans to pay more for food and gas.
Americans can't afford food or gas because Trump's war caused inflation to skyrocket. This is what he has to say about it.
So when do we start making America healthy again? Is it before or after the big UFC fight?
