OK, Secretary Noem, then show us the receipts that you extended those contracts. Turn over documents detailing exactly when you renewed those contracts. There needs to be bipartisan oversight and Congressional hearings over these truly unacceptable failures.
WELKER: The NYT is reporting that thousands of calls from flood victims to FEMA calls centers went unanswered in the middle of this ongoing disaster because you didn't renew contracts to keep call center staff in place until nearly a week after the floods. NOEM: False reporting. Fake news.
Here's the deal: Trump, Bondi, and Patel are either a part of the Epstein coverup that they so frequently spoke of...   OR they need to come clean about why they lied to the American people about the Epstein files.   Release the Epstein files, Attorney General Bondi—who's stopping you?
Trump is demanding we slash investments abroad, and Republicans talk about peace through strength as if they are carrying on Ronald Reagan's legacy.   Yeah, OK.   Reagan spent about half a percent of our GDP on foreign assistance. Today we spend LESS than HALF that.
Do not grade this administration on a curve. Their thoughtless cuts and dangerous policies are putting lives in danger. Make sure everyone knows about these failures. All of us should be outraged, and no one should let them off the hook. Fire Kristi Noem.
Everyone is sick of Trump threatening our neighbor and close ally with economic warfare. Tourism is cratering, costs are up, and no one can plan for their business. Enough. 📢MESSAGE TO REPUBLICANS: Congress needs to reassert its authority over tariffs and END this insanity.
Republicans are saying, after trillions in tax cuts for billionaires, there's nothing left for our kids. Sorry! They’re feeding Big Bird to the fat cats.   Maybe this isn't quite how Sesame Street would say it, but America knows that message is brought to you by the letters “B” and “S”
Maybe cutting PBS and getting our kids hooked on brainrot TV is part of the Republican plan. After all, if our kids watch PBS, they might learn to count! And if our kids learn to count, how will Republicans ever convince anyone that trillions of dollars in tax cuts are free?
I spoke to my colleagues today and urged them to reject President Trump's request to codify DOGE cuts. Congress must decide how best to spend taxpayer dollars—not take orders from President Trump and Russ Vought.
We rely on the National Weather Service to prepare for natural disasters—not only that, our entire economy hinges on accurate forecasting. I joined @schatz.bsky.social in supporting an amendment to protect NWS staffing from Trump's arbitrary mass layoffs. Republicans blocked it.
The bipartisan funding bills we've drafted in the Senate so far are a firm rejection of the Trump administration's budget cuts & extreme policy demands. I told just about every Trump cabinet secretary I'd rip up the President's budget request, and that's exactly what I'm doing.
I had some questions for my Republican colleagues today. We have a record-breaking number of measles cases in America. Where is our public hearing on this crisis? RFK Jr. fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel and replaced them with unvetted vaccine skeptics. Will Republicans call a hearing?
Here was my view this morning. These incredible kids traveled all the way to the United States Capitol from across the country to make their voices heard. I let them know I heard them loud and clear: I’ll be fighting to support the research and investment we need to cure Type 1 Diabetes.
The Trump administration thinks we should pull grandma out of the nursing home to have her work on a farm. THAT'S who's losing Medicaid. And I promise you, they will not fill the jobs left by immigrant farmworkers who this administration is deporting.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
My dad was a Purple Heart Veteran, and I'll say right now, treating any veteran like this is a disgrace. My Republican colleagues need to ask themselves: Is this what you think is right? Will you do ANYTHING to join Democrats in pushing back against this shameful behavior?
Doug Collins & Trump want you to believe that pushing out 30,000 VA employees is a win for veterans. DOGE cuts at VA were thoughtless, harmful, and the very definition of inefficient. They won't help. Secretary Collins, just admit your mistake and work with us to make VA work better for veterans.
There are real-world consequences to appointing an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as our nation's top health official. Worse public health outcomes aren't an accident—they are inevitable when Republicans dismantle our public health infrastructure. We need to keep pushing back.
