Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid while they jam through massive tax giveaways for giant corporations & billionaires. But if there's money for military parades, there's money for Medicaid. Every Senator should vote NO on this Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill.
This is a disgraceful and heinous comment, beneath the dignity of a United States Senator. Completely unhinged, abhorrent, and divorced from reality. I’ve called on Senator Lee to take down these posts apologize publicly at minimum.
Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.
Pete Hegseth tried to tell me there was "no litmus test" to hire anyone at DoD. Not true.   Why does a WELDER need to share with the federal government what their favorite Trump Executive Order is as part of their job application?   Drop the politics. Hire the best. That simple.
There are no kings in America. We need to remind ourselves that our voices are important. That we do need to stand up and say what we believe in. That's how we change the direction of this country. That's what democracy is.
On the 250th anniversary of the Army, today should be about the men and women who serve. Instead, Trump is putting tanks on the street at massive cost to the American taxpayer. And of course, he's fundraising off it while referring to it as HIS parade. Disgraceful.
Stunned and horrified at this news. This is wrong . Political violence can never be tolerated in America—it’s a direct assault on democracy. My thoughts today are with the victims and their loved ones in Minnesota. We need swift justice & full accountability.
Voting for the GOP's Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill is voting to kick seniors out of nursing homes. It is voting to shut down rural hospitals. It is voting to take coverage away from kids with disabilities. Keep up the pressure to make sure a majority of Senators vote NO.
I visited a food bank in Seattle today to hear from people who rely on SNAP & Medicaid. I’ll be sharing their stories everywhere I can—but let me just say it’s just WRONG that Republicans want to cut health care & nutrition to give tax breaks to billionaires who don’t need them. Keep speaking out.
There's a lot happening right now, but this week, Republicans unveiled some new changes in their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill and snuck in a provision that would allow them to SELL OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS.   No way. Our public lands are NOT for sale.   Help me spread the word.
Israel’s decision to attack Iran is a dangerous & unprecedented escalation, which endangers American servicemembers and civilians in the region, and puts countless other innocent lives at risk. I urge the Trump administration to deescalate the situation. My full statement.
This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?
Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.
Trump's HUD Secretary is asking to cut funding for housing by nearly HALF. It's absurd to claim we can't afford basic programs to keep people off the streets, but we can afford TRILLIONS in tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations. I'm tossing Trump's budget in the trash.
Vandalism & violence are exactly what Trump is looking for as an excuse to push the boundaries of his authority. I agree with the Governor and our local leaders here: violence is never acceptable. Exercise your right to protest but remain peaceful. Violence achieves nothing.
Here's what I told Pete Hegseth: his leadership has been chaotic & incompetent. He has failed to take any responsibility for his egregious mistakes (leaking war plans over signal). His fixation on culture war nonsense is leaving our military less ready. And his budget is late.
I just voted to block the sale of arms to the UAE & Qatar. America should NOT sell weapons to the UAE & Qatar to thank them for gifting Trump a brand new jet or buying into his crypto schemes. But Republicans opposed our resolution. The corruption they are enabling at this point is frankly absurd.
