Trump and his family are raking in MILLIONS from their crypto scheme, selling access and profiting from the office of President of the United States. HELL NO! We need to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act NOW.
During an all-night vote-a-rama, Democrats offered amendment after amendment to correct the course of this bill and meet the needs of working families. Every single time—Republicans voted to block them. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
Folks across the country are being stretched to the limit at the grocery store and at the gas pump. Instead of helping Americans, Trump and Republicans trying to give Trump’s lawless agents BILLIONS more.

BIG NEWS: Funding is headed to rural communities across Oregon thanks to the Secure Rural Schools program, created by @wyden.senate.gov. This funding is a lifeline for rural communities in Oregon and across the country—supporting schools, public safety, and wildfire mitigation.
