Trump is tearing up the country, the Constitution, and the East Wing.
Back in January, I predicted that the fossil fuel Looters and Polluters would take over the federal government. I’m saddened—though not surprised—that my grim forecast has already come true.
I’m headed to the Senate floor for my 302nd Time to Wake Up speech.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: You’ve investigated threats against judges. Do you commit to following the evidence where it leads?
Trump nominee: You go where the evidence takes you.
Whitehouse: My concern is that investigating those cases is being discouraged.

Rhode Island opened window shopping today for 2026 ACA marketplace plans. Because of expiring premium tax credit enhancements, a typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 will have to pay an additional $18,600 annually for benchmark coverage. (1/4)

@SenJeffMerkley (D-OR) just concluded his remarks at 5:00 p.m.. He first started speaking at 6:21 p.m. on Tuesday evening. His total time holding the floor was 22 hours and 39 minutes.
Below is a summary of his remarks.

It would seem that bombing a kindergarten should justify a Tomahawk or two.
The message of Trump pardoning violent MAGA 1/6 rioters was always, “Violence to help me (even against police) is fine and I will have your back.”

Christopher Moynihan is a violent insurrectionist who was pardoned by Donald Trump.
He was just re-arrested for threatening to kill Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
He shouldn’t have been pardoned in the first place.
Just do it. End the shutdown and protect Americans’ health care. Millions are waiting. You know what’s needed. It could start tomorrow.
Glad my REPO 2.0 bill cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by bipartisan voice vote! That sends a strong message: Russian sovereign assets need to flow to Ukraine.
Another rare moment when I agree with the PolluterPage!

I’ve been a prosecutor. There’s a huge difference between wiretaps and what were called “pen registers,” which only provide number called and length of call. If you don’t know the difference, you don’t belong on the Judiciary Committee. www.cbsnews.com/news/jack-sm...
When will Trump learn? Or maybe, what is it that Putin has on Trump that blocks Trump's learning? Isn't it getting obvious there's something?
