Trump is pushing us further into an authoritarian strong man state every time he tries to extend his control over the federal government—this time he’s ripping union protections from federal workers.
I’m fighting back—we can’t sleepwalk into authoritarianism.
BIG NEWS: We just passed a bill—based on my bill in the 118th Congress—to ban members of Congress, future Presidents, and VPs from trading stocks in Senate committee—the first step toward making it law.
Let’s get it done!
I’ve sounded the alarm for years: Lawmakers should serve the public, not their stock portfolios.
Our public lands are our national treasures—and Trump is trashing them.
I’m fighting like hell for the staffing and funding our parks need to safely operate now and into the future!!
Why are Republicans refusing to release the Epstein Files?
The American people want and deserve transparency!!

The SNAP cuts in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill hit the very rural communities he promised to protect—killing jobs, closing grocery stores and leaving less food on the table.
This is not what America wanted.
Not another dollar. Not another bomb.
🚨🚨Republicans just BLOCKED my bill with @lujan.senate.gov to release the Epstein Files.
The American people deserve transparency!
The words “killed before first birthday” appear more than 900 times in this list. Children killed playing or sleeping. Children who should have grown up.
Israel is starving and bombing Gaza. And the U.S. is complicit because we're sending those bombs and not demanding more aid.
We cannot continue to allow the powerful to protect each other from the consequences of their actions. The American people deserve the truth about Jeffrey Epstein and those connected to him.
Release the Epstein Files!
Today is the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid.
We should celebrate by restoring health coverage to the millions who will lose it under Trump’s BIG UGLY BETRAYAL of a bill.

The EPA once acknowledged greenhouse gases endanger our health. Now it wants to erase that truth.
Climate change kills through extreme weather disasters and causes costs to skyrocket. Denial is deadly.
Today, I stood outside the EPA to say: we won’t let this rollback stand.
@chefjoseandres.bsky.social is exactly right: "A starving human being needs food today, not tomorrow."
We need to get a massive influx of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza, now.
The EPA was created to protect human health and the environment, and that includes from climate chaos, the biggest threat facing our future.
Under Lee Zeldin’s “leadership” the agency is ABANDONING its mission on both goals.
They’re selling out our health and planet to reward dirty energy donors.
Fat cat lobbyists for Big Oil have derailed international negotiations to address the plastic pollution crisis. Plastics are invading our waterways, food systems, and even our bloodstreams.
Corporate polluters need to get out of the way and let nations address this serious challenge.
You have the power to opt out of the TSA's facial recognition overreach using your approved ID.
Protect freedom. Protect privacy. Opt out.

Two weeks ago, the Trump admin announced they were going to destroy almost 500 metric tons of US-taxpayer-funded emergency food for people at risk of starvation around the world. And they want to do the same with $10 million worth of birth control. Vile.

JOANN Fabrics, Party City, Toys R Us, Red Lobster — private equity drove all of them to the ground.
Now, Donald Trump is giving private equity the green light to keep running their destructive playbook. I'm fighting back.
Gaza is starving. Every moment that the U.S. fails to demand a massive influx in humanitarian aid and continues to supply Netanyahu with bombs, we are complicit.
No bombs. More aid.
