Fundraisers & lobbyists have coordinated the donation of hundreds of millions of dollars to destroy the East Wing & build Trump’s gilded ballroom. I’m demanding info about their role in soliciting money from those who have deep financial, business, or personal ties to this Admin.
Releasing the Epstein files—as the Senate should do right after the House—must mean ALL the files, not a fraction selected by DOJ. Trump can’t conceal & shield himself simply by ordering a rigged politically driven DOJ investigation. Congress must assure full disclosure.
On Veterans Day, we honor our nation’s heroes for their service & sacrifice. Their unyielding courage & strength always inspire us. Today & every day, we must recommit to providing the support, care & benefits they’ve earned & deserve.
Safeguards are vital to stop the money-hungry sports betting industry from spawning addiction & corruption. Our SAFE Bet Act will save families from bankruptcy, divorce, suicide, domestic violence, financial ruin, & more.
New secret donors to the East Wing ballroom construction project have been revealed. The Admin’s claims of transparency are a joke. I’m demanding these donors explain why they wanted to hide their donation & what Trump may have agreed to in exchange for these funds.
Millions of Americans are struggling to put food on the table—a harsh reality that President Trump has abjectly failed to recognize, & Republicans have made worse by refusing to work with Democrats on reopening the government & providing access to health care. 2/
One day after we unveil the GUARd Act, CharacterAI announces age verification. Once again, Big Tech seeks to forestall protections for children—with tough potential criminal penalties—putting profits over safety.
CharacterAI’s supposed ban on teens & children is no cause for confidence or complacency. The time is over for “trust us” voluntary steps. New legal safeguards like our GUARD Act are imperative.
Breaking News: The company Character.AI said that it would bar people under 18 from using its chatbots next month, in a move to address concerns over child safety.
Big Tech has long prioritized profits over people—their malicious AI chatbots are the latest betrayal against our nation's kids. We need guardrails to hold AI companies accountable & protect kids from manipulative chatbots threatening their safety, well-being & even their lives.
Americans deserve to know if there is a quid pro quo with any of the 37 donors who have funded Trump’s gilded ballroom. I’ve written to all of them asking about the money they've given & if any deals were made in exchange for their contributions.
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the tragic, vile attacks at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, taking the lives of 11 beloved community members. May we honor their memory with action by continuing to fight antisemitism & to seek a nation safer from all violence.
As Trump tears down the iconic East Wing to build his monstrous ballroom, I want to know all the facts about donors supposedly footing the bill. Many have merger reviews, litigation or other special interests pending where the Administration could help or look the other way.
Pardoning CZ rewards corruption. Money laundering & narcotics trafficking is condemnable, except if you're a partner in Trump family's corrupt crypto racket. It makes this Administration look like a RICO organized crime enterprise.
President Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, whose crypto exchange has been boosting the Trump family's own crypto venture.
Until such sanctions are imposed, Putin will stonewall & slow-walk America. Now is the time for America to show real leadership & stop appeasement—peace through strength, by unyielding & unambiguous support for Ukraine. 3
This action must be followed by sledgehammer sanctions like the Graham-Blumenthal Sanctions bill to halt China, India, Brazil, Hungary & others from buying oil & gas. Only strong, scorching sanctions will end Putin’s slaughter & bring him to negotiating an end to his assault. 2/
