Yanking broadcast licenses from TV outlets because you don’t like what they’re saying is an authoritarian assault on free speech. It’s un-American and just plain wrong.
Donald Trump is trampling on the Constitution.

We know that plastics are invading our lives—our food, our water, even our bloodstreams.
Now we know that chemicals in plastics are linked to infertility and premature birth.
Two more reasons to pass my Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act!
Trump said he’d lower prices on day one.
The reality? He’s exploding your grocery budget.
This is TRUMPFLATION at work.

Working families counted on Republicans to pass a spending bill that helps everyday people but Republicans have smashed that hope once again with a families lose, billionaires win proposal.

This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history.
What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?

Kimmel.
Colbert.

Oregon Sen. Merkley wants the U.S. to push for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict by recognizing Palestine as its own state alongside Israel.

I’m leading the first-ever Senate resolution in support of Palestinian statehood. There is only one pathway that builds security, peace, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians. That path is two states for two peoples.
To believe in freedom of speech is to support that free speech, even if you disagree dramatically with the point of view being expressed.
Surely every Republican who has ever decried cancel culture will be up in arms about this. Right?

We need to pass my Patients Over Profits Act to put patients first.
On Constitution Day, we recognize the single biggest threat to the Constitution: Donald Trump.
As Trump tramples on due process, erodes Congress’s power of the purse, and forces us into an authoritarian strongman state, I am fighting back to protect our constitutional freedoms.

Trump’s crusade against science continues by slashing crucial funding for pediatric cancer research.
There is just no excuse for leaving families out in the cold like this.
We need to restore NIH funding, NOW.

TRUMPFLATION is hitting health care, quite possibly “the sharpest increases in medical costs” in 15 years.
The Trump agenda: Families lose; Billionaires win.
Today is National Voter Registration Day! I’m fighting in the Senate to protect the freedom of every eligible voter to make their voice heard in the face of unrelenting attacks from Trump and Republicans.
Visit vote.gov to make sure you’re registered to vote.
As Trump and MAGA extremists across the country continue to attack our freedom to vote, I will fight to protect and expand vote by mail—a secure and simple system to help folks have their voices heard at the ballot box.
We need to end U.S. complicity in ethnic cleansing, starvation, and displacement in Gaza.
