"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.

Trump wants to rob American families to pay for war. That is what his budget for next year boils down to.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state. Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

Trump created a $1.8 billion slush fund to send massive checks to MAGA loyalists & even violent criminals who stormed the Capitol. I will do everything possible to stop this corrupt heist of YOUR tax dollars.

When will the shutdown end? As soon as Republican leaders stop twiddling their thumbs and sit down with Democrats to negotiate. It could end TODAY if they decide to work with us to reopen the government and stop health care costs from skyrocketing.

We don’t need a Congress that only listens to the wealthy – we need a Congress that actually listens to real people. Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from exploding is putting real people in an impossible situation.

I just voted to END Trump's war with Iran. America should not sacrifice the lives of our servicemembers or billions in taxpayer dollars in another forever war. NO WAR.

Bailing out Argentina. Trade wars against our allies. Private jets for Kristi Noem. Bulldozing the White House for his fancy ballroom. President Trump is focused on ANYTHING but reopening the government and preventing premiums from imploding.

Trump deported a VETERAN. You heard that right. ICE & CBP are out of control–exiling the very men who fought for our freedom and risked their lives for our country.

I just voted NO on the motion to proceed on the Big Ugly bill. Let’s be clear: Voting YES on this procedural motion IS voting to let Republicans pass the largest health care cuts in history. This isn’t over. There will be debate & amendments. SENATORS MUST VOTE DOWN THIS BILL!

Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars. So, while health care costs rise for millions of Americans, our billionaire President is sticking his hand out. Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Full stop.

On the 60th anniversary of Medicaid & Medicare, let's make sure everyone knows that REPUBLICANS voted to enact the largest cut to MEDICAID and health care EVER. 15 MILLION Americans will lose health care. The fight to reverse these cuts is today and every day until we do.

As of today, thanks to Trump, Americans are paying the highest tariff rate since 1933. And the average household is going to lose out on $2,400 thanks to Trump's tariffs. You are paying more for almost everything because of Trump himself.

The reality is that there is a point when it will be too late to make a meaningful difference on health care premiums—and so far, Republicans are saying “never” to stopping the worst of the MAGA health care hike.

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent! Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done. More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

We can thank Trump for making the outbreak of a parasite causing explosive diarrhea MUCH WORSE—seriously! CDC used to track Cyclospora, but Trump gutted our public health infrastructure & made monitoring the parasite optional. Now, we're in the worst outbreak in U.S. history.

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here: Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. Spread the word. Stand up for science.

Trump is giving a primetime national address tonight to talk about election fraud that doesn't exist. This is unprecedented & unhinged, so we've got to respond seriously. And remember that We The People decide the future of this democracy with our VOICE and our VOTE!

I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged. Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer. So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.

I have never in my entire career seen a President so unwilling to even TALK to Democrats about how to solve problems for the American people. This is the most corrupt President in American history and EVERYONE should be outraged.

A DHS K9 mauled my constituent, Wilmer. He's married to a U.S. citizen, has 3 U.S.-born children, and has NO criminal convictions. You can care about enforcing our immigration laws and still know this is deeply wrong. He poses no threat. ICE must release him so he can get appropriate medical care.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

We NEED the Dept. of Education—no matter how much Republicans try to tell you otherwise. Schools need funding. Students’ rights need to be protected. Teachers & parents need data to know how to help kids succeed. But Trump & McMahon are breaking all of that to pieces.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained. His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing. He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

Democrats have been pushing Republicans to save health care tax credits for months. They spent the summer passing tax breaks for billionaires and STILL refuse to prevent your health care premiums from exploding.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it! Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.
