Later that day, she criticized former President Trump and Republican lawmakers for their policies regarding health care and social support programs: “Trump and Republicans gutted health care and ripped away food from hungry families, all to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.

They promised to lower costs on day one, but that was a flat-out LIE.” (April 14, 2026).

Salinas also issued a reminder about an important annual deadline: “Reminder TOMORROW is Tax Day, so make sure you have everything you need to get your taxes done!
