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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ICYMI: Trump's HHS Deputy Secretary nom thinks FDA should “take a fresh look” at the settled science that proves mifepristone is safer than Tylenol—all because of a bogus new "study" funded by anti-abortion activists. Why? To rip away medication abortion from millions of women.

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?

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.

Sorry but this is INSANE. Withdrawing CBP officers from airports in "blue" cities isn't just dangerous—it would mean a national economic crisis, in red AND blue states.

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.

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.

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.

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.

🚨This video is for people with over $50 million in a trust fund. 🚨 Nurses and firefighters can't avoid paying taxes, so neither should billionaires. Complicated dynasty trusts are just tax avoidance by another name–time to close this loophole, America.

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.

If you think BIRTH CONTROL pills are “a disrespect of life,” and can’t just say birth control is safe and effective for the overwhelming majority of women with your whole chest, you should NOT be America’s top doctor. I'm voting NO on Casey Means for Surgeon General.

Trump can lie about health care for illegal immigrants all day long. But the cold, hard reality of hospitals closing, people losing their health care, & premiums more than doubling is going to be a wake-up call. Trump doesn't care about your health care or how much it costs.

It's nearly Thanksgiving and everyone should remember that Trump fought all the way to the Supreme Court to deny families SNAP benefits this month. All of this after Trump & Republicans passed the largest cuts to SNAP in HISTORY this summer. It's fundamentally immoral.

Trump: "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." But I guess that's not enough because he wants $7 billion MORE for nuclear weapons. Because that's what families are begging for: Less affordable housing, so Trump can blow up the world 151 times.
