When I talk to people back home, they want Congress to address rising gas prices, health care costs, energy bills—all of the stress that's being put on their pocketbooks. What are Republicans doing instead? Fighting for $1 BILLION for Trump's ballroom.
I asked Sean Duffy how much gas cost on the "Great American Road Trip" sponsored by Shell and Toyota. He had no clue. Must be nice! Regular Americans don't have corporations to pay for their gas. Gas, which is WAY more expensive thanks to Trump's war.
Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.
I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.
So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.
Did you know Trump's former personal attorney, who's now the Acting Attorney General, will appoint whoever he wants to oversee a $1.8 BILLION slush fund for Trump's political allies? First, Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists, and now he wants taxpayers to pay them off.
This attack on San Diego's Muslim community is heartbreaking and unacceptable.   My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the victims.   It's on all of us, but especially our leaders, to firmly and clearly reject this kind of violence and hate.
I hit the streets of Seattle looking for someone with $50 million in a trust fund. Why? Because many of the people who do have that much are using complicated trusts to dodge estate taxes. My Fair Trusts for Fiscal Responsibility Act closes the loophole. Let's pass it.
1 in 5 people with insurance through the ACA marketplace got dropped because they couldn't afford their first sky-high premium payment.   Republicans REFUSED to help Americans afford BASIC health care and they CHOSE to give tax breaks to billionaires instead.
Anti-abortion extremists have been pounding on EPA’s doors demanding the agency join their crusade to ban medication abortion, warning about “abortion in the water.” Lee Zeldin said he had NO idea what I was talking about. Oh really?
I had a simple question for Trump's HUD Secretary. Could he help house more people with LESS funding?   After all, Trump wants to slash funding for housing & spend $1.5 TRILLION on his war budget.   Instead, he started blaming Joe Biden. JOE BIDEN is NOT the President! Get a grip.
Reproductive rights are under attack: Mifepristone today, IVF tomorrow, & contraception after. This isn't hypothetical. We're seeing the anti-abortion playbook unfold in real time.   There's a pro-choice majority in the U.S. Using the law, our voices, & our votes–we have to win.
SCOTUS did the bare minimum today: stopped a radical court from banning mail-order mifepristone in every state. But 3 extremist judges came within inches of overruling 25 years of FDA science. That's the world Dobbs built—and why America's pro-choice majority must speak up.
Trump's HUD Secretary sat in front of me defending Trump's $1.5 TRILLION war budget—a budget that gives more money for war and CUTS funding for housing. Instead of giving Pete Hegseth HALF A TRILLION dollars, we could build at least 1 million new homes in America.
