According to the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy, some of the largest corporations—including Tesla, Coinbase, & Palantir—paid $0 in federal income tax because of Republican’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Why are mega corporations evading billions in taxes while families pay more for necessities?

Grateful for the swift actions by law enforcement last night that kept everyone at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner safe. & relieved to hear that the Secret Service agent who was struck in his bulletproof vest was released from the hospital.
Political violence has no place in America.
I’m heartbroken over the fatal shootingof Chicago Police Officer John Bartholomew and praying for the recovery of the wounded officer. But, thoughts and prayers are not enough to end gun violence in America. Families, and police officers, deserve our best effort to make our communities safer.
The Trump Admin has been slow walking DACA renewal and work permit processing. Now it is paving the way for them to be deported even before their DACA expires.
Congress must finally act to protect these young people who know no other home. This is a matter of simple American fairness & justice.
The El Gamal family may have been freed, but the conditions at the Dilley family detention facility have not changed.
The Trump Administration’s cruel detention of families must end.
Big update: the El Gamal family has been RELEASED from custody.
Now more than ever: reform ICE and CBP.
After facing months of inhumane conditions in ICE family detention, a judge ordered ICE to release Hayam El Gamal, and her five children.
I’m relieved they are free.
But too many families are still suffering from the MAGA mass deportation operation.

This isn’t justice. It’s cruel, immoral, and discriminatory.
Expanding the federal death penalty will be a stain on our history.
The Trump Justice Department just expanded the barbaric federal death penalty protocols, including reinstating firing squads and lethal injections.
Shameful.
The President has attacked Americans’ access to the ballot box and targeted mail-in voting. I joined @padilla.senate.gov to introduce the Absentee MVP Act to protect Americans’ right to vote from any presidential administration that tries to interfere with absentee and mail-in ballots.
The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle our legal immigration system piece by piece.
It indefinitely paused processing for LEGAL immigration applications—with little explanation and zero plan to restart.
Time to investigate.
Thank you to everyone who joined me and @duckworth.senate.gov for constituent coffee today. This is one of my favorite traditions in the Senate, and I am grateful to all who took the time out of their day to come visit us.
In the middle of the night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE billions to continue the President’s mass deportation campaign.
When families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, & more, Senate Republicans proved they care more about President Trump’s wishes than the needs of Americans.
Americans are fed up with Republican leadership that would rather deport hardworking families than help them afford the basics.
The Trump Administration’s crusade to dismantle our nation’s medical research infrastructure has slowed NIH spending by $1 billion, delaying or cutting research into cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases.
Their callous cuts are taking hope away from families.
Trump’s tariffs and his reckless war with Iran have increased prices for all Americans over the past year.
But when Senate Democrats tried to support Americans struggling because of rising costs, Senate Republicans voted it down so they could give money to mass deportations instead.
School should be a place for learning, not a place where students are hungry. But Senate Republicans just voted against funding school lunches.
Congressional Republicans made the largest cut to SNAP in history last year.
Senate Democrats just gave them another chance to reverse this terrible decision as Americans face rising grocery prices.
But Senate Republicans voted it down and refused to help Americans put food on the table.
Tonight, Senate Republicans will begin the process to give Trump’s mass deportation operations another $140 billion.
@democrats.senate.gov will be on the Senate floor all night to show how Republican leadership is putting their anti-immigrant agenda hatred over American families.
