Maybe cutting PBS and getting our kids hooked on brainrot TV is part of the Republican plan. After all, if our kids watch PBS, they might learn to count! And if our kids learn to count, how will Republicans ever convince anyone that trillions of dollars in tax cuts are free?
I spoke to my colleagues today and urged them to reject President Trump's request to codify DOGE cuts. Congress must decide how best to spend taxpayer dollars—not take orders from President Trump and Russ Vought.
We rely on the National Weather Service to prepare for natural disasters—not only that, our entire economy hinges on accurate forecasting. I joined @schatz.bsky.social in supporting an amendment to protect NWS staffing from Trump's arbitrary mass layoffs. Republicans blocked it.
The bipartisan funding bills we've drafted in the Senate so far are a firm rejection of the Trump administration's budget cuts & extreme policy demands. I told just about every Trump cabinet secretary I'd rip up the President's budget request, and that's exactly what I'm doing.
I had some questions for my Republican colleagues today. We have a record-breaking number of measles cases in America. Where is our public hearing on this crisis? RFK Jr. fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel and replaced them with unvetted vaccine skeptics. Will Republicans call a hearing?
Here was my view this morning. These incredible kids traveled all the way to the United States Capitol from across the country to make their voices heard. I let them know I heard them loud and clear: I’ll be fighting to support the research and investment we need to cure Type 1 Diabetes.
The Trump administration thinks we should pull grandma out of the nursing home to have her work on a farm. THAT'S who's losing Medicaid. And I promise you, they will not fill the jobs left by immigrant farmworkers who this administration is deporting.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
My dad was a Purple Heart Veteran, and I'll say right now, treating any veteran like this is a disgrace. My Republican colleagues need to ask themselves: Is this what you think is right? Will you do ANYTHING to join Democrats in pushing back against this shameful behavior?
Doug Collins & Trump want you to believe that pushing out 30,000 VA employees is a win for veterans. DOGE cuts at VA were thoughtless, harmful, and the very definition of inefficient. They won't help. Secretary Collins, just admit your mistake and work with us to make VA work better for veterans.
There are real-world consequences to appointing an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as our nation's top health official. Worse public health outcomes aren't an accident—they are inevitable when Republicans dismantle our public health infrastructure. We need to keep pushing back.
A punitive and nonsensical measure against our allies & key trading partners. Trump seems determined to inject as much chaos & uncertainty into our economic outlook as possible for next to nothing in return. A real chump of a dealmaker if you ask me. Congress needs to step in.
President Trump is right now blocking billions in funding Congress approved to help students and families. It’s sending K-12 schools scrambling—teachers will be laid off and after-school programs nationwide will shutter. This money needs to get out the door NOW.
The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. https://trib.al/CIBxpaX
My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in the tragic flooding in Texas, and those who are still missing. There are no words. I’m grateful to the first responders doing everything they can to save lives—our thoughts are with you.
Let’s clear something up: the giant cuts to Medicaid in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will affect EVERYONE, not just people on Medicaid. Hospitals and nursing homes will be forced to close—and it doesn't matter what kind of insurance you have if there is nowhere to go for care.
Trump's mass firing spree means there's not a single person left on the CDC team that makes sure birth control is safe for women. And they decimated the entire Reproductive Health division. Trump and his corrupt cronies are putting women at risk. It's outrageous and wrong.
🚨 Trump just signed Republicans' Big Ugly Betrayal into law—the largest-ever transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in our country’s history. This partisan bill is immoral and wrong. Americans WILL make their voices and votes heard at the ballot box.
Here’s what I’m thinking about this July 4th: our democracy is so much bigger than one wannabe autocrat. But it's important for us all to remember, democracy is NOT guaranteed. It’s only by using our voices and our votes that—together—we will preserve our democracy and build a better future. 🇺🇸
