More bullshit. Donald Trump, you can’t shut down the Dept. of Education — and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you’re just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn’t flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home.
Fox News page with text from a story that says: Despite Trump's order, the president needs Congress to sign off on eradicating the agency, under Article Il of the U.S. Constitution. Such a measure would require 60 votes to pass in the Senate, and there are only 53 Republicans currently.

One thing that I think gets lost in all of this talk about Medicaid cuts: Medicaid goes by different names in different states.   Minnesota calls it Medical Assistance/MinnesotaCare. Wisconsin calls it BadgerCare. Alaska calls it DenaliCare. California calls it Medi-Cal.

We can’t stand aside while Musk and his cronies gut medical research — including research into mental health. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social, @repangiecraig.bsky.social and I teamed up with NAMI to make sure Minnesotans know to speak up — we should be moving forward in this fight, not backwards.

Grocery prices are still too high, and Minnesota farmers are struggling as the bird flu devastates their flocks.   The Trump administration’s response has left too many questions unanswered. Farmers need help now and working families need to see prices come down.

Trump, Musk and Republicans are gutting the VA — firing thousands, many of them veterans — to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Fewer doctors, longer wait times, and worse care. This is reckless and a betrayal of the veterans who served our country. They deserve better.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govMar 17(source)
Trump lets Musk run completely unchecked through our government, firing workers managing things like housing support and veterans care just so they can give themselves and their billionaire friends big tax breaks.

Tribal sovereignty is inherent—it predates the United States and is enshrined in treaties, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. We won't stop reminding the Trump administration of these facts.   Thank you to the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council for having me today.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms. I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’

Millions of Americans need help finding shelter and keeping it. The Trump administration is withholding $3.5 billion in approved funding from folks who need it most. @smith.senate.gov and I are urging HUD to distribute those funds now.

Not to ruin everyone’s day, but don’t forget in the midst of this ‘CR’ chaos that they’re also trying to install a snake oil salesman (Dr. Oz) as head of Medicare and Medicaid. Finance Committee questions him today.

Project 2025 says fire federal workers, so they are. Project 2025 says abolish the Department of Education, so they are. Project 2025 says kick moms and babies off Medicaid, so they are.   Project 2025 calls for a national abortion ban using the Comstock Act… see where I’m going with this?
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govMar 12(source)
Doesn’t take a detective to uncover that Republicans are enacting Project 2025 – just last night they began dismantling the Dept. of Education. Everything points to them misusing the Comstock Act to ban abortion even in states where it’s legal. Today, I’m re-introducing a bill to stop them.
Text: This is what Heritage thinks a GOP president should do, as aid out in Project 2025: reviving the nineteenth-century Comstock Act as a federal (abortion) ban.

Don’t tell me that Trump/Musk are not trying to destroy Social Security. 30,000 people died last year while waiting to get their benefits. Under this new policy, those numbers will skyrocket. We can’t kill seniors so that billionaires get their tax breaks.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govMar 12(source)
Nothing to see here this is totally normal and happens all the time and isn’t weird at all and doesn’t signal any sort of corruption
