Halting US aid across the globe leaves a massive power vacuum. Who would be happy to fill that vacuum?
China.
The only people rejoicing right now are America’s competitors. We have to fight Musk’s illegal takeover of USAID.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.
He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.
Every single public school will feel this. It’ll blow a giant hole in school districts’ budgets. Students — KIDS — would suffer.
Do not doubt for a second that Trump and Musk want to go there.
FIRST: USAID
NEXT: Dept. of Education
THEN: Your Social Security benefits? Your health insurance? Your kids' health insurance?
Everything is on the table and Trump/Musk don't care who gets hurt.
We will not sit by while this happens. We will put up a fight.
I’ve had people blowing up the phones of my office all day about these tariffs.
How will families put food on the table with price hikes?
How will small businesses cope with higher input costs?
How can farmers keep their operations going?
Completely unnecessary chaos.
Trump can’t use our economy to play a giant game of Risk. But he did anyway because it doesn’t hurt him or his billionaire friends like Elon Musk.
It hurts real people who deal with the very real economic consequences. People whose paychecks barely stretch far enough as it is.
USAID provides prosthetic limbs to soldiers injured in Ukraine. Shutting it down hurts us, our allies, and emboldens Putin and Russia. The Kremlin have already taken to social media to celebrate what Musk has done.
We need to fight this.
Massive, untargeted tariffs on allies like Canada make no sense. Canada is Minnesota’s #1 trading partner.
This is nothing but a tax increase on Minnesota families that I plan to fight.
Elon Musk illegally seized the purse strings of the United States. An unelected billionaire may have access to everyone’s social security numbers.
We need answers now. This power grab cannot stand.
They’re trying to throw doctors in jail for prescribing medication abortion.

Senator Smith: What’s so horrible about this moment is that dozens of families are trying to be united with the remains of their loved ones because they died.
And what does Trump do? He tries to turn it into a political thing. He is incapable of taking responsibility for anything he has ever done.

“That could truly be the unravelling of our democracy if we don’t stand up to it.” @smith.senate.gov
It was great to join @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social
to talk about what we’re doing in the Senate to keep up the fight against Donald Trump and his billionaire friends.

Hassan, through tears: "I am the proud mother of a 36 year old with severe cerebral palsy. And a day does not go by when I don't think about what I did I do when I was pregnant with him... So please do not suggest that anybody in this body doesn't want to know what the cause of autism is"
Powerful
When you really want to catch the train to vote with two of your favorite colleagues… run like a grandma!
Avian flu has killed more than 100 million animals across the country, and the first human death was just reported.
It’s a challenge I’m going to make sure the next HHS Secretary takes seriously.

TINA SMITH: Do you think people who take anti-depressants are dangerous?
RFK Jr: *doesn't answer question*

Senator Tina Smith goes after RFK Jr. and Donald Trump during RFK Jr's Senate confirmation hearing:
"What is clear to me is that you and President Trump are dangerous to women's access to Mifepristone."
Spot on.
Americans woke up yesterday morning not knowing if they could still get their health insurance through Medicaid, or drop their child off at daycare.
The Trump Admin is trying to walk this back because the American people were clear. This is not what they voted for.

Sen. Smith: "I can respect people with different views than mine on [abortion] but it's hard for me to respect people who won't give a straight answer to what they think."
