The FAA’s old 90-second evacuation tests were a joke. No seniors, no kids, no wheelchairs, no service animals. I authored the EVAC Act with @duckworth.senate.gov to fix that and protect passengers. Now it’s the law—and the FAA needs to follow through with its study that reflects the flying public.

67 dead in a mid-air crash and Pete Hegseth is still letting DOD helicopters operate over DCA. I pressed the FAA on what they're doing to improve safety, but the bottom line is Hegseth needs to get the choppers out. DCA is for takeoffs & landings—VIPs shouldn't take priority over the flying public⬇️

#ProudBlue #MomSky Elonia is at it again. His AI company is polluting a low income area in TN. “Community residents and environmental activists say that since the supercomputer was fired up last summer it has become one of the biggest air polluters in the county.”
A nice gesture is passing the salt and pepper, saying good morning, or pulling a chair out for a lady. A $400,000,000 airplane is not just a nice gesture. It is a bribe.

The GOP are calling 1 in 8 Medicaid recipients “waste, fraud, and abuse" as an excuse to cut hundreds of billions from the program. But a former CMS chief says the real fraud isn't from recipients—it's from health companies overbilling.

It’s not about waste, it's about making the rich even richer.
NO CUTS TO MEDICAID! Protesters disrupt a Congressional budget hearing aiming to kick 13.7M people off their health insurance.

Trump’s budget is a disaster for seniors, kids & people with disabilities. He’s looting Medicaid, SNAP & more to bankroll tax cuts for himself, his kids & his Mar-a-Lago pals. Doesn't even matter if you voted for him. If you don’t make at least $400k a year, tough luck: you were never in his club.

Dems: passed laws slashing insulin & drug prices nationwide. Trump: sabotages every bit of it he can, launches a trade war, prices explode. Also Trump: “👉👈 gosh guys, maybe think about lowering drug prices? But only if you want... Please?" A useless EO, brought to you by a useless administration.
Thing about Trump's prescription drug order is: he has zero power to do it (except for Medicare rates on a couple drugs, per the bill passed by Dems in 2022). Courts will block it. If Trump / Republicans cared about lowering drug prices, Congress has many ways to do so. They don't, so they won't.
Also worth watching: how much of Trump’s executive order quietly rips off the Inflation Reduction Act—the law President Biden signed that actually gave Medicare power to negotiate drug prices for the first time in history. Wouldn’t be the first time Trump tried to steal credit for real leadership.

We can't let foreign governments influence US policy by BRIBING the POTUS. I thought that was obvious. Nobody gives away $400M luxury jets for fun. The question is, what is Qatar getting? That's what the GOP & Pam Bondi—a former Qatar lobbyist—aren't interested in asking. We're going to find out.
Last week: Trump Organization announces new $5.5 billion golf course in Qatar Today: Qatar ‘gifts’ Trump a luxury jet Surely just a coincidence.
