Donald Trump wants to loot health care for ordinary Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Trump sold out to the ultra wealthy but I didn’t. I won't stop fighting to protect people over profit.
I'll be reintroducing my We Are Still In Resolution with my colleagues. We're not going to stop working to achieve the Paris Agreement—for good-paying jobs, clean air & water, & a livable future. To our allies: when it comes to climate action, we still mean business. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Donald Trump has vowed to punish his enemies. I’m glad Biden has issued preemptive pardons as I called for. Each person has the choice to accept these pardons, but the only thing they can be charged with is standing up to Trump and doing their job.
This inauguration weekend, keep an eye on the sky for the billionaires flying to DC in their private jets to celebrate a Trump administration that is of the rich and for the rich—all while the world burns. I'm re-introducing my FATCAT Act to make them pay for their pollution.
Gray background with a private jet and white and red text that reads, "In only one year, private jet emissions from just four incoming Trump officials pumped out 560 years' worth of carbon emitted by the average American."
Gray graphic with a red bar graph titled "Trump Associate Private Jet Emissions v. Average American Annual Emissions" and a private jet in the background.
Gray background with a private jet and white and red text that reads, "In only one year, private jets owned by 14 billionaires are in the air long enough to circumnavigate the world over 157 times."
The TVA is the nation’s largest public power provider and Trump could replace its entire board. We deserve better than a board of ideologues who will prioritize corporate gas profits over lower bills and renewable energy. I’m deeply concerned. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/l...
Donald Trump isn't building a cabinet—he's installing a cartel. Big Oil executives and lobbyists shouldn't be able to turn public agencies into private profit machines for fossil fuel shareholders. My Big Oil Cabinet Act will ensure that their greed is not rewarded with power.
We cannot accept a TikTok ban when 170 million Americans and 7 million businesses rely on TikTok to earn a living, find community, and share their stories. We need more time.
The next step is for Congress to pass my and Senator Bill Cassidy's update to the underlying COPPA law. Our COPPA 2.0 would extend these protections to teenagers and ban targeted advertising to young people. Let's keep going.
