On January 6, 2021, thousands invaded the Capitol with the intent of disrupting and overthrowing our government—and Trump urged them to do it. We can never forget this day. We have an obligation to remind people of the truth and the fragility of this democracy.
This is disgusting. Trump is planning to cut off $10B in funding for child care and crucial social services in 5 blue states including New York. We should be expanding access to child care for American families. Instead, Trump is playing politics with our children’s lives.
A headline from the New York Times reads: Health Dept. to Freeze $10 Billion in Funding to 5 Democratic States
Democrats are focused on lowering costs for Americans, while Donald Trump and Republicans are spending all of their time on foreign wars, on ballrooms, and on private jets. How is this America first?
Tens of millions of Americans are now locked into sky-high health premiums, and millions are going without health insurance—all because Republicans let the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. Democrats will not stop fighting to lower health costs the American people.
Donald Trump’s promise to keep America out of foreign entanglements is now as worthless as his promise to release the Epstein Files. And it’s the American people who will pay the price.
THIS WEEK: I will join Senators Kaine, Schiff, and Paul in forcing a vote on our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop any further military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval. The American people did not sign up for another round of endless wars.
New York is facing the highest flu levels in over 20 years as flu rates surge across America. And yet, HHS just slashed children's vaccine recommendations including the flu. RFK Jr. is putting our children in danger. He's making America sicker. And it will lead to more deaths.
Breaking News: Federal health officials made dramatic changes to recommended child vaccines, reducing the number of diseases prevented by shots from 17 to 11.
As the affordability crisis spirals out of control and people’s health care costs skyrocket, this administration’s actions in Venezuela make one thing clear: Donald Trump is the least ‘America First’ POTUS in our country’s history.
The idea that Trump plans to now run Venezuela should strike fear in the hearts of all Americans. The American people have seen this before and paid the devastating price.
Senate Republicans had multiple chances to work with us to stop premiums from skyrocketing—and they blocked action every time. While Republicans chose to do nothing, Democrats are fighting to lower costs, protect coverage, and make life more affordable.
Starting tomorrow, Americans will face a health care crisis caused by Republican obstruction and total inaction. Millions will lose health care Millions will see costs spike by thousands Millions of families, small business owners, older Americans, farmers and ranchers will face impossible choices.
This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one. The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents. They are hiding something.
A headline from New York Times reads: Justice Dept. Is Now Said to Be Reviewing 5.2 Million Pages of Epstein Files
I’ll say it again—Trump needs to be straight with the American people and explain what his strategy is and what the hell he’s doing in the Caribbean.
President Trump says in an interview with WABC radio in New York that the U.S. had “knocked out” a Venezuelan facility, a move that would be a major escalation in U.S. military strikes.
