What’s shocking about this story is that Elon Musk clearly has no idea how Social Security works, yet Pres. Trump put him in charge of trying to dismantle Social Security & deny people retirement benefits they earned.

It’d be impossible to make RI calamari more delicious. But my bill could make it even more affordable for all!

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).
Thank you, @booker.senate.gov for taking a principled stand w/ record breaking speech calling attention to the key issues & core values that Americans care about most.
I support tougher border security & fixing our broken immigration system. But the Trump Admin. is more interested in security theater than effective solutions: he’s wasting $40 MILLION on a dubious GTMO facility to process fewer than 400 people.
Trump’s misplaced priorities are increasing prices, not lowering them. The Trump Admin. is making it harder for families to put food on the table while slashing aid for food banks.

Just got off the Senate floor with @booker.senate.gov.
He’s been at it for over 20 hours straight – urging commonsense action to make our nation stronger, safer & healthier.
Instead of cutting effective programs like LIHEAP, we should strengthen and uplift people & communities.

REED: Trump tells a story about speaking to you while you were serving in Iraq, & you said you loved him & 'I'll kill for you, sir.' He said you then put on a MAGA hat. Is any of this story true?
CAINE: I went back & listened to those tapes & I think POTUS was actually talking about somebody else
UPDATE: AG @peterneronha.bsky.social filed a lawsuit challenging the termination of these grants for Rhode Island.
Pres. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to America’s public health infrastructure & states across the country are fighting back.
For the last 17+ hours & counting, @booker.senate.gov has been speaking from the heart about the negative, destabilizing impact Pres. Trump’s policies are inflicting on Americans' financial well-being & the very foundations of our democracy. We are with you, Cory. Keep going!
We are calling on the Trump Admin. to immediately cease this misguided mission. The migrant relocation operation at Guantanamo Bay is unsustainably expensive, operating under questionable legal authority, & harmful to our military readiness.
The cost to fly these immigrants and detain them at GTMO is in the tens of millions of dollars a month. American taxpayers are being insulted. Trump could implement his immigration policies for a fraction of the cost using existing ICE facilities in the U.S.
After touring, it’s obvious GTMO is wasteful, likely illegal, & certainly illogical location to detain immigrants. Trump’s plan doesn’t make U.S. safer. Our troops will always get the job done, but their time, skill & resources are being carelessly wasted by Trump Admin.
Fixing the immigration system won’t be cheap or easy. But the money Trump Admin is spending on their Guantanamo Bay migrant relocation operation is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars & misuse of military resources. I traveled to GTMO to survey the operation.
I voted for billions in border security funding bc we must fix our broken immigration system. Those found guilty of violent or serious crimes are subject to deportation - that’s the law. A thread 🧵
This is a prudent step toward accountability.
Secretary Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and President Trump must answer for this disturbing, dangerous incident.
They must be truthful with the American people & not make the cover-up worse than the crime.

UNFROZEN: Millions of dollars in federal funding for the Washington Bridge.
Thanks to my seat on Senate Approps Committee & @whitehouse.senate.gov’s role as leading Dem on Senate EPW, RI delegation got this critical funding flowing to RI, but more to do.
Clearly Trump learned nothing from his botched 2020 pandemic response nor current mismanagement of measles outbreaks across U.S.
Firing 20k public health workers, cancelling $11.4 billion in public health funding, & spreading vaccine misinfo makes America sicker & more contagious.
I refuse to let the Trump Administration evade accountability on this massive national security failure.
