America is in turmoil from his government shutdown and bracing for higher health care bills—
And instead of doing his job and governing for the American people,
Trump is halfway across the world threatening American cities with our military.

Democrats slam FCC’s decision to ‘gut’ prison phone call price cap
NEWS: I’m leading my colleagues in denouncing FCC Chair Carr’s unlawful plan to increase costs on law-abiding Americans who wish to keep in touch with their incarcerated loved ones.
Congress passed a law to lower prison phone rates.
Carr must do his job and enforce the law.
Example #2: U.S. citizen and Veteran George Retes:
“They broke his window, they pepper sprayed him, they grabbed him, threw him on the floor."
Mr. Retes was wrongfully jailed for three days by Trump's federal agents. Three days.
This is how Trump treats our heroes.
Trump loves to spout propaganda and claim our great city is a “warzone”—
This is a lie. And he knows it.
The 3 districts facing the highest premium hikes if ACA tax credits expire are all Republican-led districts:
WY: +693%
WV-01: +654%
WV-02: +599%
Republicans would rather abandon their constituents than work with us to reopen the government and protect their health care.
Trump once said that it's the president's job to get people in a room to end a shutdown.
Hard to do that when you're not even here.
The numbers don't lie.
More than 8 in 10 Americans are worried about how Republicans letting ACA tax credits expire would affect coverage.
But 3 weeks into the shutdown, House Republicans aren’t even here to figure out a solution.
If alcohol, tobacco and drugs aren’t allowed within 1,000 feet of schools—tear gas shouldn’t be either.
We send our kids to school to learn, not receive front row seats to Trump’s extreme enforcement tactics.
I’m demanding Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon do something to stop this.
If you're wondering why so many ICE agents are acting like criminals...
Maybe it's because some of Trump's recruits are, in fact, criminals. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...
If Republicans get their way and let ACA tax credits expire, 339,000 Americans will lose their jobs next year.
Almost half of them will be doctors, nurses and caregivers.
They call it policy. We call it cruelty.
My heart breaks for Darren and Cindy Bailey as they face such an unimaginable loss.
No parent should ever have to bury their own child.
Bryan and I are keeping the entire Bailey family in our thoughts and send our heartfelt condolences.
NEW: Trump's Big, Beautiful Betrayal includes an $8.8 billion bailout for pharmaceutical companies.
That's right. Premiums are about to go through the roof and 15 million are going to lose their health care—
But Republicans think Big Pharma deserves a golden parachute.
If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.
The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.
Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.
Stories that DHS doesn’t want you to hear.
Example #1: When U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas filmed Trump's agents forcing his brother to the ground, he was roughly detained and handcuffed for over an hour.
They aren't going after "the worst of the worst"—they're assaulting citizens.
Whether you live in a red state or blue state, Donald Trump is undermining all Americans’ constitutional rights—
And pushing our nation closer and closer to an autocracy.
@merkley.senate.gov is holding the floor to sound the alarm.
Everyone needs to pay attention.
TUNE IN: I’m STILL on the Senate floor exposing Trump’s attempts to trample on the Constitution.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymDt...
Nearly 2 million Illinoisans will see their SNAP benefits run out on November 1st—
But Trump has no problem spending money to build his ballroom, bail out Argentina and buy Kristi Noem two private jets.
Marimar Martinez in Chicago was *not* armed when Trump’s agents shot her.
When DHS tries to rewrite reality, body cameras expose the truth.
The footage is clear. We will not let Trump cover up his cruelty.
Trump’s idea of being “tough on crime?” Forcing thousands of DOJ, FBI, DEA, ATF and more of our federal officers to abandon real criminal investigations to back ICE’s reckless operations.
Americans are less safe because of it—and I’m demanding answers.
DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”
But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.
Don’t ignore their stories.
If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.
