Trump's lawyers ADMITTED to STEALING money from blue states, just because they didn’t vote for him. I am demanding every last cent be restored. This isn’t Trump’s money. These are taxpayer dollars and I won’t let this kind of lawless corruption stand.
Secretary McMahon is literally paying other departments to do work the Department of Education ALREADY does. She says this somehow makes government more efficient. Then show us the receipts. I PASSED an amendment to force her to send Congress the price tag she's been hiding.
"It's a big, gigantic, blown-up Ponzi scheme." THAT is what a Senate Republican said on the floor just yesterday. At a time when Social Security is facing insolvency, we need to fight to SAVE Social Security now and for future generations. NO cuts, NO privatization.
If Trump did NOTHING, very low-income families would have had their child care costs capped at 7%. But he scrapped that policy and Republicans voted to increase the cost of child care. Money for war, but nothing for child care.
ICE doesn't move detainees across the country by accident—it's a strategy. That's what they did to Eduardo, who's married to a citizen. Detained on the job, he was shipped off to Texas at 2AM, away from his wife & attorney. I'm demanding he be brought home and get due process.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans BLOCKED affordable child care. Trump wants to get rid of a 7% cap on child care costs for very low-income families, my resolution would have stopped him. Once again, the GOP endorses higher costs for families to satisfy Trump. This isn't the end.
House Republicans advanced bills to abolish the Department of Education. But let's be clear: I'll make certain those bills are dead on arrival in the Senate. I will fight tooth and nail to make sure America stands up for our kids and students. Full stop.
Every time Trump says an end to the war he should have never started is around the corner—the bill for his forever war just gets bigger. Sorry, but NO. I will not rubberstamp a blank check for Trump to drop bombs overseas while health care costs are sky-high at home.
ICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.
On Thursday, ICE needlessly detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a local Seattle small business owner with no criminal history. This is a man who is married to an American citizen and with deep ties to our local community who was working hard to pursue a legal pathway to lawful permanent residence.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence—an election-denier and Trump sycophant. The GOP should be ashamed for enabling Trump’s dangerous and deranged conspiracy theories.
Trump is pushing a policy that will INCREASE child care costs for low-income families. I am forcing a vote THIS WEEK to overturn Trump's higher-cost policies. Every Senator will cast a vote on a simple question: should working parents pay more for child care, or less?
When America's top health official is constantly pushing conspiracy theories, trust in public health takes a hit—and we're seeing the consequences in real time. There are record measles cases for a reason. RFK Jr. is a threat to public health & should RESIGN.
RFK Jr: "Americans no longer public health, and they shouldn't"
RFK Jr. says he has the cyclosporiasis outbreak under control. Except he’s fired and pushed out thousands of CDC staff we desperately need. Trump and RFK Jr. made this situation worse. FIRE RFK Jr. Make government competent and functional again.
I am demanding that DHS return Eduardo to Washington state so that he may receive due process and have access to counsel—flying Eduardo to Texas away from his lawyers to try and deport him is fundamentally wrong and un-American.
For the federal government to waste its resources to forcefully detain and deport Eduardo and tear apart an American family is plain sick. Our immigration enforcement should be focused on violent criminals and keeping Americans safe—deporting hardworking people like Eduardo makes no one safer.
