This is wrong, and we must continue to stand and fight to lower costs and increase access to health care for Americans.

Today, Democrats voted vote to lower health care costs for Americans, instead of joining with us, Senate Republicans voted against stopping premium increases for more than 20 million Americans.
This year Trump and the GOP have launched an all-out assault on Americans health care–cutting medicaid, kicking 17 million off health insurance, and eliminating funding for life-saving research.
Congressional Republicans have no plan to deal with the twin health care tsunamis they created. Today they can vote for our plan to protect Americans’ health care and give us the time we need to make the system stronger.
Today the Senate will vote whether to lower health insurance costs for Americans, or let them double for millions. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us and address this crisis.
Too many Americans are already one lost job or one twist of fate away from losing their health care. Now Republicans are letting costs skyrocket for over 20 million Americans, we have to stop this crisis.
There’s a clear pattern: Trump is turning the pardon power, which is meant for mercy, into rewards for the wealthy and well-connected, eroding trust in both the law and the presidency.
Quid pro quo pardons are plain corruption.
Imaad Zuberi was serving 12 years for violating lobbying, campaign finance, and tax laws, and obstructing an investigation into Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee. Zuberi had donated $1.1M post-2016 election and posted photos with Trump and his top aides. Trump pardoned him.
Trump pardoned Binance billionaire Changpeng Zhao after the Emirates used the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto to fund a $2B Binance investment.
David Hanna, Georgia elector and CEO of Atlanticus Holdings involved in the 2020 “fake elector” scheme, received a pardon after donating at least $145,500 to Trump. Several other fake electors who donated to Trump have also been pardoned.
Trevor Milton was convicted of securities and wire fraud and sentenced to 4 years in prison for defrauding investors about Nikola’s “working” truck prototype. Weeks before the 2024 election, Milton and his wife gave $1.8M to Trump, and he hired lawyers tied to Trump’s inner circle.
Paul Walczak stole $10M from his employees’ paychecks to fund his luxury lifestyle, got 18 months in prison, and owed $4.4M in restitution. After his mother donated $1M at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Trump gave him a full pardon. Walczak hasn’t paid his victims a single dollar.
Jason Galanis who was sentenced to 15 years for stealing $80M from union pension funds and a Native American tribe was pardoned after testifying in Republicans’ failed Biden impeachment probe. Trump’s pardon wiped out the $84.4M in restitution he owed his victims.
On International Anti-Corruption Day, it’s worth remembering how Trump has turned the pardon power into a pay-to-play enterprise to reward wealthy donors and political allies while leaving victims in the dust 🧵
Now, 200 former attorneys have published an open letter to sound the alarm bell on the all-out war DOJ leadership has waged on the Division and how they have abandoned the mission of protecting the rights of America’s most vulnerable.
The Civil Rights Division was established 68 years ago today to systematically enforce federal civil rights laws and protect voting rights.
Thousands of New Jerseyans are being forced to choose between buying health care for their families or putting food on their tables because of the crisis Republicans have created. Senate Republicans need to join with Democrats and lower the cost of health insurance for Americans.
My heart is with Andy and his family as they navigate this next chapter. From my own experience with my father's dementia, I know intimately that the heroic work caregivers do, often goes unsupported by our institutions. I am ready to support Andy, his family, and caregivers across the country.
The media and entertainment industry is already highly consolidated. I have serious concerns about acquisitions in this sector that could further limit consumer choice, raise prices, and harm artists. We need more competition—in streaming and across the broader economy—not less.
In New Jersey this morning I listened to advocates like NJ Citizen Action and constituents to hear the challenges they are facing thanks to Trump’s health care crisis. We need every American to add their voice, stand up and call on Republicans to work with us to cut these spiking costs.
