The DCCC thinks No Tax on Tips is "crumbs" for hardworking families, and every single House Democrat voted AGAINST this commonsense relief in the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Now, vulnerable House Democrats, such as Nevada members Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford, are hiding under their desks, refusing to defend their party's insult even though Nevada has the highest share of tipped workers in America.

Mamdani Mini-Me: Villegas Feels the Bern

RALEIGH, North Carolina, Nov. 18 -- The North Carolina Republican Party issued the following news release on Nov. 17, 2025:
* * *
Statement on Charlotte's Targeted Operations with Federal Law Enforcement
Since Saturday, federal law enforcement officers have bravely taken actions to apprehend criminal illegals from the streets of North Carolina's largest city. As these actions have unfolded, the response from the Radical Democrat Socialists in Charlotte has been reprehensible.
The wreckage Joe Biden and Kamala Harris inflicted on our country with their open Southern border comes into full viewwhen these operations arrest 130 individuals as of Monday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Nearly 1,400 immigration detainers across North Carolina have not been honored--releasing criminal illegal aliens into neighborhoods and free to roam the streets. This problem was enabled under former Gov. Roy Cooper, who on three separate occasions vetoed legislation to require local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
In a city that's averaged over 100 homicides per year for the past five years, enforcement of the law is long overdue.
Even the Charlotte Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police agrees:
"Imagine how much safer Charlotte could be if our City, County, and State leaders showed the same determination in confronting violent, repeat offenders those who murder and maim our neighbors as they do in challenging Customs and Border Protection."
"Democrats at all levels are choosing to protect criminal illegals over North Carolina citizens," said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons. "Threats to federal law enforcement agents are up 1,000% this year because of the rhetoric we see from the Left. Now, they're showing more outrage over removing violent criminals from Charlotte's streets than the brutal murder on a mass transit system of Iryna Zarutska."
"Border Patrol is in Charlotte for one reason: the need is real. When local Democrats--who control all aspects of local government--refuse to enforce the law, federal agencies have no choice but to step in and protect this community. This is no political stunt," said Mecklenburg County Republican Party Chairman Kyle Kirby. "Had Democrat leadership done a better job protecting the people of this city in the first place, would we even be having this conversation now?"

LANSING, Michigan, Nov. 18 -- The Michigan Democratic Party posted the following news release on Nov. 17, 2025:

James refused to sign the bipartisan petition that is now forcing a vote
*
The House of Representatives is set to vote this week on releasing the entirety of the Jeffrey Epstein files after a bipartisan discharge petition--no thanks to John James.
Not only did James side with pedophiles by refusing to sign the effort to force a vote to release the Epstein files, he has remained silent and failed toeven call on the Trump administration to release the documents they're keeping hidden.
The vote this week comes as newly released emails on Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein have knocked the White House "on its heels," with Epstein himself having written that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of the victims and that the "dog that hasn't barked is Trump."
A constituent of James recently wrote in the Macomb Daily how she is "deeply concerned by his silence on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files." James' total silence on the Epstein files comes as he used to claim that he was "leading the efforts in Congress to fight human trafficking."
"John James never signed onto the bipartisan petition that has now forced a vote, and he's been silent despite a growing bipartisan chorus calling for the full release of the Epstein files," said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman. "James has sided with pedophiles rather than stand up to Trump--showing once again he'll always put his own extreme political party ahead of Michigan."

DNC: Pressed 10 TIMES, Oz Still Refuses to Say If Trump Will Step In To Save Millions From Skyrocketing Health Care Costs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 -- The Democratic National Committee issued the following news release:

Pressed 10 TIMES, Oz Still Refuses to Say If Trump Will Step In To Save Millions from Skyrocketing Health Care Costs
On CNN's State of the Union, CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz refused to commit to extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium subsidies at the end of the year to prevent 22 million Americans from facing premiums that are more expensive by an average of 114%. CNN's Dana Bash pressed Oz to commit to making sure Americans can afford insurance 10 times -- and Oz refused to doso each time.
Americans blame Donald Trump and Republicans by a margin of 26 points for health care premium increases. If Trump and Republicans cared about lowering health care costs, they would be working with Democrats on a permanent extension of the enhanced ACA premium tax credits millions of Americans rely on.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"Donald Trump and his administration are leaving millions of Americans on the verge of making an impossible choice between staying insured and keeping food on the table come January. Oz had ten opportunities not to turn his back on millions of families, but he failed every time. Trump and Republicans created this massive health care crisis, but instead of working with Democrats to stand up for everyday Americans, Trump would rather focus on increasing his personal fortune, building his luxurious ballroom, and protecting his tax cuts for billionaires that cost 10 times as much as it would to extend the ACA tax credits."

Corruption Watch: Trump and His Admin Are Profiting off the Presidency
Donald Trump's White House continues to be defined by corruption. Several new reports reveal that Trump and his administration officials are leveraging their positions for personal gain at the expense of American taxpayers.
Trump is earning licensing fees for a $150 record player and $20 beer pong set that each uses the official presidential seal, likely violating a federal law that restricts commercial use of the seal.
Ajaw-dropping report shows that a political consulting firm with personal and business ties to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem secretly received money from $220 million ad contracts with the Department of Homeland Security. By invoking the "national emergency" at the border, Noem skirted normal bidding rules that are in place to prevent waste and corruption.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer issued the following statement:
"Donald Trump and his administration are cashing in on the White House. While everyday Americans struggle with high costs as the holidays approach, Trump and his cronies are using the government like their personal ATM. It's self-dealing at the highest level, and the American people are stuck paying the price."
