Jan's Plans & Pans - February 24, 2025

President Donald Trump promised to lower the high cost of living in the United States, and he has done the exact opposite. The chaos, confusion, and fear Trump has unleashed during his first month in office has not improved the quality of life of the American people. But billionaires? They are getting more tax cuts. Trump and Elon Musk would rather gut lifesaving programs and agencies than ask the rich to pay their fair share.

At least 79 different lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Trump administration’s illegal and unconstitutional executive orders. My Democratic colleagues and I are continuing to stand united and shine a light on the pain this administration is inflicting on the American people. I have made it my personal mission to attend every protest possible. I will continue to take every opportunity I can to speak out against efforts to dismantle our democracy, end Medicaid as we know it, get rid of Social Security or Medicare, undermine veterans benefits or nutritional assistance to children and families, and so much more.

This week, House Republicans are planning to hold a vote on their bill that will give $4.5 trillion worth of tax cuts to billionaires and wealthy corporations. Instead of working on legislation to benefit all Americans, my GOP colleagues want to further enrich the ultra-wealthy. Democrats are committed to making life better for every single American. We must continue to resist and make our voices heard wherever and whenever possible.
