I don’t think Trump should get a blank check on how to spend your taxpayer dollars. I want to throw Trump’s budget in the trash & fund cancer research, child care, and our K-12 schools. When we pass spending bills, Congress decides how we invest in taxpayer dollars—not Trump.
Climate change is real—no matter what fake report Trump wants to cite to justify helping his big oil donors allowing corporations to pollute our air and water and raise your energy bill.
The Trump Administration published a report peddling the lie that climate change is not a threat. No surprise, it was written by climate deniers with ties to the fossil fuel industry and was full of disinformation, cherry-picked stats, and errors.
NEWS: Senators Whitehouse & Murray Demand Trump Administration's Sham Climate Report be Withdrawn in Shame.
“Lacking credible science to support its desired outcome, the Trump Administration has turned to the same small clique of climate science deniers that the fossil fuel industry regularly trots out to deny the overwhelming scientific consensus that human-caused climate change is real and presents grave environmental and economic threats. But just because these climate change deniers exist does not mean they are credible: there is a greater than 99% consensus in the peer-reviewed scientific literature that human-caused climate change is real."
Trump and RFK Jr. are upending cancer research. They're cutting patients off from clinical trials and killing so many kids' only hope for a cure. I’m fighting to restore funding, but I can't restore lost time. FIRE RFK Jr. NOW.
This is revolting. Clearly, some truly sick stuff was going on between Trump and Epstein. There is no more pretending this is a hoax. Trump promised to release the files, so release them.
Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nGGdnJ
This decision will further empower this administration to detain anyone for how they look or what language they speak. It's so egregiously wrong and dangerous. We have a long, tough road ahead, but we have to use our voices and votes to fight for a better America.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.
I will work with any Republicans willing to put science and facts over politics and ideology to push out RFK Jr. That man is a serious threat to public health and American lives. It's never too late to do the right thing. Join me in calling for RFK Jr. to be fired immediately.
Millions of Americans are about to get a notice letting them know their health care premiums are going to SKYROCKET. Families are going to face higher costs & potentially even lose their coverage. Democrats have a bill to stop it, but Republicans are REFUSING to even lift a finger.
The President is casually suggesting he will go to “war” against an American city. Today it’s Chicago, tomorrow it might be Seattle. It’s not funny or amusing. I’ll be fighting back in Congress but remember: he WANTS you to think your voices and votes don’t matter—they do.
The Enchantments in the Cascades is a beautiful stretch of land across 900 miles of trails. Last year, there were 11 wilderness rangers patrolling the Enchantments. This year, there’s ONE—thanks to Trump. I'm fighting to fund our forest service and SAVE OUR PUBLIC LANDS.
E.J. Antoni is unwell—he is apparently a disturbed, hateful, conspiracy-driven man. Not only is he an unqualified, partisan hack, but apparently, he has been a prolific promoter of vile, hate-filled screeds. This kind of revolting behavior should be a red line for all Senators.
Oh yeah, this will really help him win that Nobel Peace Prize. 🙄 Trump was a draft dodger and couldn't care less about our servicemembers, but he'll gladly puff his chest and warmonger because the consequences will never touch him.
We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not a Secretary of Conspiracies. Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning. Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense. RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside. Fire him.
Of course this far-right fanatic wants LESS oversight in government.   He doesn't want the American people to know about how he's breaking the law, wasting their money, and stealing taxpayer funds from them.   GAO will stay as long as I have anything to say about it.
Trump moved a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker to a "Country Club" prison. He's choosing to stand up for the most notorious pedophile in history rather than the victims calling for justice and transparency. He ran on releasing the Epstein files—release them then.
It’s important for states like Washington to step up to protect public health, but diseases don't recognize borders. We still need a functioning and trustworthy federal health department—for that to happen, RFK Jr. must be fired immediately.
