Americans are finished with forking over their tax dollars so Trump can cover Washington in gold. The American people gave our new Democratic majority our marching orders, make their lives more affordable, their government more competent, and their capital less corrupt. Democrats are going to move forward to deliver results for Americans with or without Republicans. Americans were clear about wanting to end Trump's war, stop his tariffs, lower healthcare costs, ban both members of Congress and the President from trading stocks and so much more, and Democrats are going to deliver. We're going to spend every second of every day striving to prove ourselves worthy of Americans' trust.
