These dedicated workers deserve decent compensation, pensions, & job security as they produce the best aircraft engines on the planet, vital to assuring that America has the strongest air force in the world.
After repeatedly rebuffing responsibility & lying, Boeing will now permanently escape accountability. Victims, families, & the flying public deserve better. They deserve justice, not this sham.
This special deal for Boeing is an outrageous injustice to victims & their families whose losses resulted from Boeing’s unforgivable failures. The crashes were directly due to Boeing’s flawed design & deliberate concealment.
This move is a disingenuous & dangerous effort to shield the Trump administration from legal challenges & consequences by attempting to make court orders unenforceable. I’ll fight against this Republican power grab bent on destroying our democracy.
Foreign governments & shady figures have figured out how to get to Trump: through his wallet. As he auctions off access to himself & his office, Trump becomes beholden to foreign power through private benefits—all while selling out the American public.
A crypto investor known as "Ogle" has worked as an advisor for Trump's crypto venture World Liberty Financial—a company I have launched a PSI inquiry into following reporting that the firm may be enabling the violation of government ethics requirements.
Sheldon Xia is the founder of BitMart, a crypto exchange registered in the Cayman Islands. Xia posted on X celebrating his spot on tonight's guest list, saying he was proud to support Trump's pro-crypto vision.
“Ice” is a pseudonym for a co-founder of the Singapore-based company MemeCore. MemeCore's chief business developer said in an interview that "Ice" hopes to shape Trump's views on the crypto industry—presumably to his own advantage & gain.
Justin Sun, Tron founder & HTX advisor, dropped $75M into World Liberty Financial & holds over $18M in $TRUMP, making him the guest of honor. All while Trump’s SEC pauses its probe into Sun’s fraud allegations.
Tonight, Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner for the top holders of his meme coin—opening the door for individuals that are competing to line his pockets to buy access to the President. Here are some of those individuals:
The Trump Admin's effort to limit access to COVID vaccines upends the long-established vaccine approval process & leaves many questions unanswered. At this week's PSI hearing, I discussed the importance of vaccines to protecting against disease & illness. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
While Trump dines with whoever has funneled the most money into his pocket, I’ll be putting Republicans on the record with my resolution condemning the President's self-enrichment schemes. It’s time Republicans grow a spine and stand up to Trump’s boundless greed.
While we yearn for peace, it is increasingly clear to us– and a supermajority of the Senate–that Putin is playing games. The United States Senate stands ready to act if these games continue.
One of the main priorities of our legislation is to hold China accountable for propping up Putin’s war machine by buying cheap Russian oil from the shadow fleet. Without China’s economic support, Putin’s war machine would come to a grinding halt.
