Any move toward diplomacy and away from violence is welcome news. I want peace to prevail. But this war should be a lesson. The push for military adventurism and regime change by neocon war hawks was, unsurprisingly, an unmitigated disaster.
Over 100 days ago, Trump and Netanyahu launched a reckless, illegal war of choice against Iran. America spent a billion dollars a day—exacerbating the affordability crisis at home, putting our troops at risk, and making us less safe.
"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” —Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein
JD VANCE: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump NAVARRO: They were best friends for about a decade. And remember, he signed that transparency act under duress
I seem to recall dozens of Republicans promising us this wouldn’t cost taxpayers a cent. Now, they’ll endlessly justify Trump stealing from you to fund another gaudy self-obsessed vanity project.
Huge thanks to Community Servings' David Waters & Tufts University’s Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian for always bringing attention to the importance of nutrition in public health & supporting my bipartisan Medically Tailored Meals legislation. Now is the time to make it happen!
Dreamers have built their lives in America. For many, it’s the only home they’ve ever known. They’ve gone to school, built careers, raised families, paid taxes & strengthened our communities. They deserve citizenship—not deliberate processing delays & unwarranted deportations.
When we invest in early childhood education, we build stronger communities & a brighter future. That's why I'm proud to have delivered $5M in federal funding with @warren.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov for a new learning center at the #MetroWestYMCA — helping every kid get a fair shot at success!
In 2018, Elon Musk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income. He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve. Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.
I’m proud America is co-hosting this year’s #WorldCup. It should be a moment of global unity. Instead Trump is denying entry to referees & athletes from countries he doesn’t like. I want the world to know: most Americans don’t think like him. This is not who we are.
