Firefighters and nurses don’t get to hide their money in a trust fund and skip out on paying their taxes—billionaires shouldn’t get to either.
My new bill would close tax loopholes for billionaires with more than $50 million in dynasty trusts.

REMINDER: Republicans had every opportunity to save the ACA tax credits. They chose not to.
They’ve found plenty of money to fund Trump’s war in the Middle East, but they won’t spend a cent on health care for Americans.
Trump’s reckless policies are driving up prices for every American. But here’s the thing: this Republican Congress could stop him at any moment. They’ve decided not to, and we’re all paying for it—literally.
Republicans said it should be about states’ rights when it comes to abortion.
Except when Louisiana’s extremist Attorney General wants to tell women in my state—and the entire country—how they can get medication abortion?
NO. Protect abortion rights.
There are no Republican deficit hawks anymore. Not when they have proven that every time they win power, they will blow up the debt on war and tax cuts for billionaires.
Trump has spent TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his war of choice with Iran.
Republican logic: always money for war, never any to help working families put food on the table or get health care.
The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't.
This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop.
I have no intention of letting this stand.
Trump gets richer while working families struggle to get by thanks to his disastrous decision making.
He is the most corrupt President in history. Period.
Gutting the Voting Rights Act is a giant step backward for our country.
A better future is possible but it requires ALL of us to make ourselves heard with our voices and our votes.
It means voting in every election, staying engaged. "Democracy is not a state. It is an act."
Gas prices are NOT coming down. They are going UP.
And everyone in America knows that Donald Trump and Republicans are to blame.
There's not a lot that's worse for the American economy than a Republican President and a Republican Congress.
Scott: "The fact of the matter is that all of the cylinders are kicking. It is good news. You can even feel in our environment how good things are getting. Gas prices continue to come down, which means your groceries will come down a little bit as well. We've got a lot of good signs in the economy."
It's a good day when the Senate rejects at least one junk science charlatan.
Good riddance to Casey Means, RFK Jr. is doing enough damage on his own.
I'll keep pushing for his removal to protect science and common sense in our government.
Like a lot of women’s health, menopause has been overlooked, underinvested in, & left behind.
That's why Senator Murkowski & I are fighting to INCREASE funding for research into mid-life women's health.
More than half this country goes through it, it's time we start acting like it.
Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a MONTH for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate passed five weeks ago.
An inexcusable failure by House Republicans. But it’s a very good thing the TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, & more will finally be funded.
Linda McMahon & Trump are wrecking the Department of Education. Why? So we can throw another half-TRILLION dollars at the Pentagon?
Maybe I'm biased as a former preschool teacher, but I think investing in our kids is more important than shoveling money at defense contractors.
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.
In the face of the Trump administration's attacks on our National Parks, I'm working to protect and preserve 126,500 acres of land in the Olympic National Forest.
Protect our public lands.
Let’s pass my Wild Olympics bill. 🌲
On April 1st, Speaker Johnson vowed to fund DHS "in the coming days."
Must have been an April Fools’ joke because INSTEAD, Johnson has extended the shutdown for FOUR WEEKS and counting.
So if Speaker Johnson is looking for someone to blame for the shutdown, get him a mirror.
What a stupid waste of taxpayer money. No.
Trump is trying to crush our First Amendment rights.
I refuse to live in a country where a crooked President can illegally use the force of the federal government to push a talk show host off the air.
Time to speak up and protect free speech in America.
Linda McMahon fired half the staff at the Office for Civil Rights—the people who handle cases of sexual harassment & assault against students.
Know how many cases have been resolved since then?
Neither did she. But you'd think the Secretary of Education could count to ZERO.
