I voted NO to confirm Kelly Loeffler to run the Small Business Administration. Just last week, Elon fired 720 employees at SBA, including those focused on disaster recovery efforts. Not a peep from Loeffler. Elon & Trump are NOT looking out for small businesses—just themselves.

Musk is in a position to get richer off market moving data, stomp out his competitors, & freeze any oversight of his companies. I ask Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee whether it's appropriate for someone with so many conflicts of interest to have this level of access to confidential DOL data.
Trump is flagrantly violating the law by freezing funding that Congress appropriated—causing real damage & chaos. I pressed Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee if she would commit to simply following the law.
Watch her response.
🚨Elon Musk FIRED staff at FDA who were reviewing HIS Neuralink products—the corruption is blatant and outright. Trump & Musk’s arbitrary mass firings across FDA will severely undermine its work to keep Americans & our food supply safe & combat new threats, including bird flu.
Musk & Trump have arbitrarily fired the very people working to ensure we are prepared for & can respond to the next public health crisis—putting YOUR health & our communities in jeopardy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
I voted NO to confirm Howard Lutnick. I am not going to confirm ANOTHER billionaire to the cabinet who will just enable the most corrupt illegal power grab this country has ever seen. This is the most pro-billionaire, anti-middle class administration in history.
Just an absolutely unacceptable and frankly dangerous level of incompetence from this administration. First, they "accidentally" fired the people who managed our nuclear weapons stockpile, and NOW they've fired the people responding to the rapidly evolving bird flu threat.
I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more.
Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.
Elon & Trump are indiscriminately laying off workers at FAA just weeks after the deadliest plane crash in over a decade—like staff who manage FAA radar. It's utterly insane and actually dangerous.
They don't fly commercial, but the rest of us do. I'm demanding answers ASAP.
Let's be clear: this PR stunt does NOTHING to actually expand access to IVF. Republicans created this mess by overturning Roe and they've blocked legislation MULTIPLE TIMES that WOULD make IVF care more accessible and affordable for families. Give me a break.
The United States is not a dictatorship or a monarchy—the President is not a king.
We have a DEMOCRACY—if we can keep it—where no one, not even the President is above the law.
Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond?
By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.
New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."

Trump and Elon Musk are effectively shutting down the government bit by bit RIGHT NOW—whatever parts Elon doesn’t like. We’re talking about an unelected billionaire with massive conflicts of interest & billions in government contracts deciding how to spend YOUR taxpayer dollars.
The President & the richest man in the world are recklessly attacking medical research—with researchers being laid off, studies being canceled, & kids now unable to get the lifesaving treatment they need. It’s absolutely heartless & will have devastating consequences for us all.
Trump & Elon are putting lifesaving research on life support with a massive funding cut based on an uninformed and illegal whim.
Every Senate Democrat is joining me in demanding HHS stop the political games and allow researchers to keep up their important work, uninterrupted.
I hope every student, parent, and teacher will join me in getting out two simple messages as loudly as possible.
First, this policy is dangerous and must be IMMEDIATELY REVERSED.
Second, vaccines are SAFE and EFFECTIVE. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
Two billionaires who have zero concept of what the federal workforce does are breaking the American government—decimating essential services and leaving all of us worse off. Millions of Americans rely on the services: health care, food safety, lifesaving research, and more.
Federal laws prohibit ANY president from telling schools & colleges what to teach. Parents want local schools to have the funding they need so their kids can get a great education—they DON'T want Trump & Elon to impose their deranged culture war onto our kids. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
