Late last night, the Senate did something we haven’t done for decades.
Republicans voted to revoke funding both parties agreed to spend just a few months ago.
To be clear: they only did this because President Trump demanded it.
They're ceding the power of Congress to Trump.
I’m introducing two bills to create safer alternatives to burn pits, improve the VA’s response to toxic exposure, and make it easier to update the health information of deceased veterans.
They'll help protect and support our servicemembers.
Because of DOGE, the Trump Administration is going to spend $130,000 to burn $800,000 of food that USAID intended for starving children overseas but couldn't deliver due to the massive cuts to staff and services.
DOGE isn't eliminating waste; they're literally creating it.
Senator Grassley violated the rules and refused to allow Senators to speak against Emil Bove's lifetime judicial appointment.
So I and every Democrat on the Judiciary Committee walked out of the hearing.
As a Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro promoted conspiracies surrounding the 2020 election, even after the network confirmed her statements had been debunked.
If she can do that on-air, imagine what she can in our judicial system.
I will vote against her nomination for U.S. Attorney.
My 2:30am reaction to Senate Republicans voting to revoke billions of dollars from public broadcasting and global health programs.
www.youtube.com/shorts/Ko2Zy...
I just voted against final passage of President Trump’s bill to revoke public broadcasting and global health funding.
On one hand, the U.S. could continue to support global health programs that save lives and reduce the spread of disease to America.
But on the other hand, President Trump would rather give tax cuts to billionaires, so the Senate is about to vote to gut these lifesaving programs.
So President Trump thinks supporting shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers is a bad use of funding but giving massive tax breaks to billionaires is a good idea?
Got it.

Because of the Big Beautiful Bill, some patients can’t use their Medicare plans to receive birth control, annual checkups, or cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood locations and many other nonprofits providing primary care.
President Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to revoke funding from over 1,500 local media stations, hurting public broadcasting in every state.
It would be a betrayal to every community. America relies on local media.
A 20-year-old American was just beaten to death by a mob of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
President Trump revoked President Biden's sanctions against violent settlers on his first day in office.
Congress should pass my bill to codify the Biden sanctions into law.
I believe it is time for Secretary Noem to resign or for her to be fired.

We just got new numbers on inflation:
The price of food is up.
The price of household supplies is up.
The price of appliances is up.
The price of clothing is up.
The price of toys is up.
Working families can't afford President Trump's policies.
