BESSENT: We are trying to bend the curve on medical cost. And I believe that the medical expenses are out of control. TINA SMITH: But you're not controlling medical expenses by taking insurance away from people. You're just shifting the cost to hospitals and individuals and uncompensated care.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" would be the single largest transfer of wealth from the middle-class to the ultrawealthy in the history of our country. A gift to billionaires and megacorporations outsourcing jobs paid for by betraying American families.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

Using pseudoscience to justify bad actions is pretty par for the course for these guys. Not this mine. Not this place. The Boundary Waters are too precious. See you in court.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

What “careful review”? The one that showed this kind of mining nearly always pollutes? Or the one that showed that mining in this place could irreversibly pollute the Boundary Waters?

@BrookeRollins: .@SecretaryBurgum and I have been working together to unleash American Energy and today we are taking another step to ensure we are getting back in the mining and energy development game.

Today, @USDA is proud to announce that we are initiating the process to cancel the mineral withdrawal in the Rainey River watershed on the Superior National Forest.

After careful review, including extensive public input, the US Forest Service has enough information to know the withdrawal was never needed.

We look forward to working with Sec. Burgum to pursue American Energy Dominance and reverse the costly and disastrous policies of the Biden Administration.

If more Americans learn about your bill… and they really don’t like what they’re seeing… change course. #KillTheBill

New Quinnipiac poll gauges national sentiment on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Two-thirds of registered voters have heard/read "a lot" or "some" about it. Support is 27%, opposition is 53%, and 20% had no opinion. Among independents it's 37 points under water.

The GENIUS Act should not pass without a vote on this fix.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

This win shows that when we speak out and stand strong, together we have the power to stop this.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

We need to pass my bill to permanently protect the Boundary Waters from sulfide mining. Minnesotans who love the Boundary Waters and want it to be there for our children and grandchildren need to continue to organize and use their voices.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

Republicans want to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder, and the Boundary Waters is no exception.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

However, the fight is far from over. Donald Trump and House Republicans are determined to revoke the protections I worked to put in place and that Minnesotans have made clear they support.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 11(source)

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill was a provision that gave a foreign mining company permission to build a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. I’m relieved to announce that we were successful in forcing Republicans to drop this language from the bill.

BOUNDARY WATERS VICTORY

Provision which would have issued perpetual leases to a foreign mining company to pursue sulfide ore mining on the doorstep of the BWCA has been removed by Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN)

So he told us not to take his medical advice and now he’s… firing the people who give medical advice?

The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govJun 9(source)

An outspoken vaccine conspiracy theorist just fired every last member of CDC's vaccine advisory committee. RFK Jr. is paving the way to reshape vaccine policy based not on decades of science, but on his own unhinged fanaticism. This is unprecedented, and unthinkably dangerous.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

Reposted byTina Smith

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.socialJun 10(source)

The Republican tax plan is actually very, very simple: kick millions off their health care to offset some of the huge cost of giving a massive tax break to billionaires. Finance the rest of that huge tax break by exploding the deficit.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 9(source)

Arresting and detaining SEIU leader and American citizen David Huerta is sickening. This is not how we do things in America. We do not accept these kinds of abuses of power.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 9(source)

What’s happening in Los Angeles right now is yet another example of Donald Trump using the powers of the federal government to attack and intimidate his political enemies. It’s despicable.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJun 6(source)

The breakup has been quieter today but let’s remember what they’re arguing about — that despite all the talk about cuts, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will add $2.6 trillion to the national debt. It’s fiscal insanity, and only a matter of time before the dam broke.
