Today I voted NO to confirm Doug Collins as VA Secretary because at this point I have not seen a single cabinet secretary stand up to Trump and Musk’s illegal power grab that is putting our economy, national security, and future at risk.

No Member of Congress should be ceding power to the richest man in the world to decide where your tax dollars are going to go.
Democrats are pulling the fire alarm on how Trump's illegal actions are hurting families everywhere and putting our economy at risk—but it's Republicans who are the majority in Congress.
They need to decide if they're going to get out the fire hose or sit in the fire.
This is beyond unacceptable—we're STILL seeing fallout from Trump's illegal funding freeze. Families across my state and the country count on Head Start each and every day to help care for their kids. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
Scammers often pressure people to act immediately—which is another reason to be very wary of the Trump admin's "Fork in the Road" offer for federal employees.
9 days to make a decision is a very short amount of time to consider an offer that lacks clarity and specifics.
Parents, teachers, and STUDENTS—Trump is coming for our schools so we better be ready to stand up for public education.
This former preschool teacher is ready to fight for our kids—we can’t let Trump defund our public schools. Repost if you’re with me.
RFK Jr. is a uniquely unqualified & dangerous pick to lead HHS. No one should have to die from diseases we can prevent because we told the American people a fringe conspiracy theorist & anti-vaxxer is worth listening to.
The full Senate must REJECT RFK Jr.'s nomination.
The Trump administration is doubling down on its "Fork in the Road" offer to federal employees. Trump has a history of stiffing workers—and there is NO guarantee you will get paid through September 30 as promised.
Trump and Musk have yet to find a law they think applies to them—but that is NOT how things work in this country.
We have a democracy. We have checks and balances—and Democrats will push back with every single tool we have.
Just now, I voted NO on a procedural step to advance Russ Vought's nomination to manage our nation's budget.
In light of the illegal spending freeze orchestrated by Vought himself and the Trump administration's recent lawlessness, every Senator should vote NO.
Two weeks in, and it’s already painfully clear that this is the most corrupt administration in history, and it’s putting our economy, government, and most at-risk communities in serious jeopardy.
Trump has given Elon Musk access to our government's highly-sensitive central payment system—and he's vowing to use it to cut off funding people are counting on. What will Musk target next? Cancer research? Food banks? Housing assistance? Veterans' benefits?
This is not ok.
Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire with a long list of conflicts of interest and deep ties to China—is hijacking our nation's checkbook so he can block funds that help the American people.
It's corrupt—and it's putting our economy & the most at-risk communities in jeopardy.
Make no mistake: Trump's illegal destruction of USAID will cost lives. All my colleagues should understand these actions empower Russia & the Chinese Communist Party at the cost of America because one billionaire with deep ties to U.S. adversaries decided to do so on a whim.
Trump is now purging Department of Education employees for taking diversity trainings HE encouraged them to take.
He's pushing out staff that process student loans & get resources to our schools. This won't help our kids learn or even save us money. He's just breaking services people rely on.
We cannot mince words about what it would mean to confirm RFK Jr. to our highest health official: elevating him and his anti-science views could have deadly consequences—even before he lifts a finger.
He is wholly unfit & unqualified to lead HHS.
The federal government is not Twitter and when Trump and Musk break government it has consequences—lives are on the line.
Food safety inspection. Air traffic control. Social Security checks. Nuclear Security. Drug approvals. Wildfire management.
The list goes on.
It is absolutely unacceptable for the Trump administration to purge the CDC of important scientific data that matters to millions of people. I refuse to let ideologues stomp out evidence-based objective research—we all need to speak out. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Trump's tariffs will cost families—literally. It's not Mexico or Canada or China who pays for these increases, it's YOU. And you'll feel it on your wallet everywhere you shop. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire.
This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy.
It’s time to speak out and fight back.
