Trump’s Budget is families lose, billionaires and defense contractors win.   + $1.5 TRILLION to the Pentagon as Trump wages illegal war + $28.5 BILLION for ICE and CBP chaos - $21.5 BILLION from health care and housing And $0 to lower costs for Americans. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
Prediction markets on Congress passing a bill, government decisions, or a military strike, are ripe for corruption. Too many insiders can bet knowing the plans, or can steer the outcome to win the bet. We need to stop this corrupt trading!
Suspiciously perfectly-timed bets on prediction markets about Congress passing a bill or a military strike erode public trust in our democratic institutions. I’m working with @warren.senate.gov and @raskin.house.gov to rein in the corruption!
Chag Sameach to our Jewish friends and neighbors in Oregon and around the world who are celebrating the first night of Passover tonight. Wishing you and your loved ones joy and peace.
The Trump Administration shouldn’t be meddling in state health care systems. @wyden.senate.gov and I are fighting to protect Oregonians’ access to the full range of health care they need, including reproductive care.
This EO—like Trump's asylum orders and turning ICE into secret police—swims in a current of racism and bigotry. I anticipate that the Supreme Court—despite their proclivity to give more and more power to the American presidency—will find this EO unsupportable.
Why did he launch an illegal war of choice that has strengthened the hardline government of Iran, undermined the reformers, shut down the Strait of Hormuz, raised energy prices, enriched Russia, and cost American lives and treasure?
Trump's attack on vote by mail isn't about integrity—quite the opposite. He knows vote by mail protects against all the well-known Election Day voter suppression tactics. This is all part of his effort to rig the upcoming November election. We can’t let him succeed. Save our Republic!
Conversion therapy has been discredited by every mainstream medical and mental health association. It’s not legitimate medical care and has harmed many of our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors. This Supreme Court decision is dangerous and hugely damaging.
The so-called SAVE America Act would eliminate vote by mail in most forms, make it harder for citizens to vote, and require states to turn over their voter registration list to TRUMP and let his team purge voters he doesn’t want to vote off the list. HELL NO!
