Surprise, surprise – more than 12 defense tech companies have received $3.2 billion in federal contracts after Trump’s sons have invested in them.
It’s almost as if they know a guy.
We can’t let this kind of corruption be normalized.

American families are literally paying the price for Trump’s war in Iran, including at the gas pump.
It’s long past time for this to end.
Recently in @democrats-judiciary.house.gov, we were talking about legislation to designate national fossils - so I took the opportunity to brag on Vermont’s two state fossils!
I’m devastated and thinking of their loved ones.
It’s also a reminder that when we go to war, real people with a community, family, and friends are forced to put their lives on the line.
We must end this war of choice and take our servicemembers out of the line of fire.
I’m sick and tired of hearing that Democrats want to put national security at risk. Tired of it.
There are Vermonters deployed right now in this war. They and their family members deserve to know that we are conducting foreign policy responsibly.
I’m still waiting for my Republican colleagues to speak out about the ICE killing in Maine.
Joan Sebastian Guerrero did everything by the book, and now he's dead and his child will grow up without a father. Where is their outrage?
Considering the DOJ’s recent history of rubber-stamping mergers if the mega rich folks involved curry favor with Trump, @warren.senate.gov and I are demanding that the pending Fox takeover of Roku gets the legal scrutiny it deserves.
It must follow the law and be free from political favoritism.
The top line on Trump’s speech is simple: he knows he’s incredibly unpopular right now.
Please know there are public servants in every state in our country who believe that the right to vote is sacred and are working hard to make sure you can exercise it - regardless of your political affiliation.
As climate change brings more frequent and severe extreme weather, the BUFFER Act would give farmers the tools they need to protect their land and livelihoods.
Proud to stand with @sanders.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov in reintroducing this bill on the anniversary of the 2023 and 2024 floods.
Just direct deposit the money to Trump’s bank account at this point. Skip a step next time and stop pretending.
Proud to take part in a roundtable with national housing stakeholders yesterday.
I’m grateful to @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and @friedman.house.gov for bringing us together and to all the advocates for making clear why we need to keep up the momentum to lower the cost of housing.
Republicans preach fiscal responsibility. But there’s never enough money for food and health care and there’s ALWAYS enough money for their wars.
Today, I introduced an amendment to the GOP’s budget resolution that would stop us from giving $73 billion more to Trump’s war in Iran.
Democrats just successfully forced Republicans to cancel a vote on their bill that would've made the largest cuts to veterans' benefits in history.
Now, we should vote on the bipartisan Major Richard Star Act to actually allow more veterans to retire with dignity.
I said what I said.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Todd Blanche wants to misuse an antiquated law to ban mifepristone nationwide. I’m sick and tired of this admin trying to take away our freedom to make our own health decisions.
That’s why I introduced the Stop Comstock Act to stop this backdoor abortion ban and protect access to essential care.
Medical experts are not focused on demonizing trans people right now. They're trying to figure out how they're going to keep their hospital open and care for folks in rural areas.
Both are harder because Republicans cut $1 trillion from our health care system last year.
Please read my full statement with @repmcgovern.bsky.social and 23 of our colleagues on the Israel funding amendment we're voting on today.
The current approach to Israel can't continue.
