We rely on USPS for medications, government services, ballots, and more. The postal service is a public good. We can’t allow it to be turned over to greedy billionaires to squeeze out profits by exploiting workers and degrading service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Trump administration's firing of essential nuclear security personnel from the Department of Energy is wreckless and dangerous. I am leading my colleagues in a letter demanding answers from Secretary Wright. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...
Trump wants to spend up to $50 billion a year on yet another “Star Wars” missile fantasy, even though the current system does not work and never will, after 40 years and 400 billion wasted. This Fantasyland scheme is a massive defense contractor boondoggle. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Early this morning, I offered an amendment to increase funding and prevent any cuts to Alzheimer's research at the NIH. Republicans blocked it. youtube.com/shorts/oSJLA...
While Trump and Musk attempt to cut off funding for Medicaid and the environment—Senate Republicans are trying to pass a budget to set up giveaways to Big Oil and ultra-wealthy tax cuts. I'll be live on TikTok at 11pm. What do you want to hear about?
Abortion is safe and effective—banning it is not. www.propublica.org/article/texa...
At the behest of his oil and gas donors, Trump is selling out the American public. MARAD just approved the massive GulfLink offshore oil export facility over communities’ objections, which will move US energy abroad and spike costs and pollution at home. Stop the dirty deals.
I lost my mother to Alzheimer’s. I’ve worked my entire career to help researchers find the cure. Musk, Trump, and their Republican enablers would rather use that money for billionaire tax breaks. Shame.
This is code for cuts to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. This is a war on Medicare.
I'm leading my colleagues in writing to the DOJ Inspector General after Denise Cheung was forced to resign after defying her Trump-appointed superiors and refusing to freeze climate bank funding in the absence of any crime. You need your climate bank money and we need answers.
Have you heard about the biggest bank heist in history? Donald Trump is trying to pull it off right now. He wants to steal 20 billion of your dollars that are already working to cut energy bills and power the clean revolution.
Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine “to explore” business opportunities in Russia.
Translation: As soon as he throws Ukraine under the bus Eric, Don Jr, and Jared will be on the plane to Moscow to seal the “most incredible real estate deal in history.”
The justification for granting Elon Musk keys to the agency that regulates his company—that others are welcome to provide expertise as well—is like walking a fox into a hen house and saying it’s fine because you invited sheep and pigs too.
The day after President’s Day, Trump's DOGE has arbitrarily fired staff at the JFK Presidential Library, forcing it to close its doors. Shutting down this vital place of learning, engagement, and revenue creation, if even for a day isn’t just wrong—it degrades the very office of the President.
Postmaster DeJoy has resigned. Now, let’s get a Postmaster that prioritizes workers and postal service in our communities. Regular and frequent mail delivery is a justice issue. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
First, it's Administrator. Second, the energy standards are at DOE not EPA. Either way—Trump has no idea how government works, yet his ridiculous post led DOE to freeze commonsense appliance efficiency standards updates - first established in my 1987 law. We deserve better.
Denise Cheung resigned rather than invent a crime to justify seizing funds meant to lower energy bills.
You don't need Sherlock Holmes to know the only crime here is Trump's bank heist, as he takes money meant for your pockets on the demand of his oil and gas donors.
Republicans want to increase spending at the Pentagon by $150 billion. All while the Defense Dept is spending $141 billion on new nuclear missiles that we don't need and make us less safe. The GOP cares more about funding annihilation than education. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Elon Musk won’t hand over his tax returns. Now, he wants yours.
