Building a tax code that puts families first.

Hi folks,Today is Tax Day—and while it may not be everyone’s favorite day, Michael believes our tax code is a reflection of our values. President Trump and the Republicans have made it clear who they value.  As we speak, they are working on a budget bill that will hand another tax giveaway to the …

Pete Hegseth deserves to be fired.

Hi folks, Multiple members of the Trump administration said that nothing discussed on their Signal thread was classified. Now that the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic–who was accidentally added to the thread–has published the full transcripts, it’s obvious they lied.  If what they were talking abou…
