Just two weeks ago, @warren.senate.gov and I called on the FTC to investigate corporations exploiting rising fuel costs to pad profits. This is exactly the kind of behavior we warned about. Consumers deserve fairness, not corporate greed.
The Delta CEO won't commit to lowering ticket prices if jet fuel prices go down. When asked if his company would lower prices if fuel costs dropped, he instead said that lower fuel costs would "certainly help us boost our margins this year and clearly into next year as well.”
Someone this unstable, whose behavior endangers the nation, shouldn't remain in office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If Trump’s Cabinet is too cowardly to act, Congress must do its duty and begin impeachment proceedings before more damage is done.
Constituents are calling my office in tears. They are scared. This is what dangerous rhetoric does. It spreads fear and uncertainty. Republicans must stand with Democrats and speak out against this unhinged madness. Silence is cowardice.
Medicaid is a lifesaver! Seniors, kids, pregnant people, and those with disabilities depend on it.   Republican cuts have forced millions off care.
  This #MedicaidAwarenessMonth we will defend Medicaid and fight to protect health care for all.
Pam Bondi’s loyalty was to Trump, not to justice. She put politics above victims and power above principle. Her firing is overdue. The work for transparency and accountability is far from over.

To everyone in our community celebrating Passover, I’m wishing you a joyful and meaningful holiday.

As you gather with family and loved ones around the Seder table, may this time of reflection, tradition, and renewal bring you comfort and hope. Chag Pesach Sameach!
When millions of people lose health care and thousands of workers lose jobs, that’s not ‘America First.’ It’s failure. We can and must do better. Collectively, we can come together and choose a different path.
More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen.
To the trans community: You are seen, you are heard, and you are loved. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ No one should have to hide who they are. I will always fight to protect your rights and stand strong against hatred and bigotry. #TransDayOfVisibility
Air travelers are stranded. Communities need disaster relief funds. We have a deal to resolve these problems, but Republicans are blocking it to boost ICE funding and continue their inhumane enforcement efforts. Stop the obstruction. Do your job.
Today, I'm standing with the Lung Association and countless advocates raising awareness for lung cancer. We need robust federal funding to drive prevention, early detection, and life-saving treatments, and to support all those impacted by this disease. We are in this fight together!
As costs soar from Trump’s illegal war with Iran, any attempt by big corporations to jack up prices is unacceptable. We must crack down on price gouging and protect consumers. I’m backing @warren.senate.gov's push to hold bad actors accountable.
As Iran war causes gas and airfares to spike, lawmakers warn of price gouging — but experts point to supply shocks
Health care is not a privilege, it’s a right. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, seniors pay less for prescription drugs, young people can stay on their parents' health plan, and insurance companies can't deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions.
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
Trump’s endless war with Iran is driving up costs for Americans. We can lower prices by moving to clean, affordable energy. This bill from @casten.house.gov & @levin.house.gov promotes renewable energy, cracks down on market manipulation, & includes key parts of my Energy Consumer Protection Act.
The bad news is that clock is ticking to tackle rising energy costs and the climate crisis. The good news is that the solution is here. Expanded access to low-cost, reliable energy is good for our planet and good for your wallet. I introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to do just that.
