@repescobar.bsky.social@repescobar.bsky.social@repescobar.bsky.socialRepublican leadership says they have been the most “productive” and “successful” Congress in decades - even though they just canceled Congress for 7 more weeks. So what have they accomplished? Great question.
@repescobar.bsky.socialWhat we choose to fund is a statement of our values. The Trump administration is prioritizing its war in Iran instead of prioritizing you.
@repescobar.bsky.socialThat's enough to forgive student loan debt for nearly a million borrowers. We could've built over 73,000 affordable housing units across the country. There's so many other things we could've funded to improve your life , but the Trump administration started this reckless war.
@repescobar.bsky.socialTrump's war in Iran has cost Americans $38 billion. With that money, we could've funded more than 3 years of Head Start. We could've paid for almost 5 million people to get a two year degree at a community college.
@repescobar.bsky.socialRepublicans kicked millions off their healthcare and food assistance programs with their One Big Beautiful Bill.

@repescobar.bsky.socialImagine if the president cared about making your life better with the same intensity and dedication he has for trolling and pettiness?
@repescobar.bsky.socialOne year since Camp East Montana opened, and there is nothing to celebrate. DHS rushed this facility into operation in August 2025, and since then at least three detainees have died – including one homicide.
@repescobar.bsky.socialRepublicans told you they were getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse.
Instead, they made an already fragile healthcare system much more strained by forcing people off their insurance.

@repescobar.bsky.socialRepublicans will see that nearly 600k children in Texas were kicked off SNAP and try to convince you that they and their families were all committing fraud.
The truth is Republicans chose to prioritize tax breaks for corporations and billionaires over feeding children.

@repescobar.bsky.socialI will not support sending $3.3 billion to a Netanyahu government that has ignored our laws, interests, and values under both the Biden and Trump administrations.

@repescobar.bsky.socialWhile the end of flight restrictions above Southern New Mexico brings this saga of gross incompetence to a close, it remains vitally important that Congress understand the whole scope of what led to the unprecedented closure of airspace in our region.
